  • Before installing the dishwasher, remove the house fuse or open the circuit breaker. If permanently connecting the dishwasher, be sure the  power is isolated and the dishwasher unplugged.

This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not use an extension cord, adapter plug or multiple outlet box.  
  • Failure to follow this advice may result in electrical shock or death.
