This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor
must be run with the circuit conductors and be connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
Grounding Instructions – Power Cord Models
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical
shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
The improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt that the appliance is properly
grounded.
Direct Wire Method
• The cable must be routed as shown in Cabinet preparation and wire routing on page 9, and extend a minimum of 24 in.
(60.96 cm) from the rear wall.
• Use flexible, armored, or nonmetallic sheathed, copper wire with grounding wire that meets the wiring requirements
for your home and local codes and ordinances.
• Use a UL Listed/CSA Approved strain relief.
Warning:
Remove the house fuse or open the circuit breaker before beginning the installation. Do not use an extension
cord or adapter plug with this appliance.
Power Cord Method
• Install a 3-prong grounding type receptacle. The wall outlet can be installed in a cabinet or on a wall adjacent to the
undercounter space in which the dishwasher is to be installed.
• Use power cord kit (part number 5304504505) under Smart Choice brand marked with Dishwasher Install Kit With
Power Cord, available for purchase from an authorized store. The power cord and connections must comply with local
codes and ordinances.
• The recommended power cord length is 54 in. (1.4 m) min. and 64 in. (1.6 m) max.
Cabinet preparation and wire routing
• The wiring may enter the opening from either side, the rear, or the floor within the shaded area.
• The electrical connection is on the front right of the dishwasher.
• Drill a 1.5 in. (3.81 cm) maximum diameter hole to run the electrical cable through the wall of the cabinet.
• The hole must be free of sharp edges. If the cabinet wall is metal, the hole edge must be covered with a bushing or
rubber grommet.
• Cable direct connections may pass through the same hole as the drain hose and hot water line, but power cords with
plugs must pass through a separate hole.
