3. INSTALLATION
WARNING: When installing the dishwasher, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
Please check the standards and local codes for placement of machine.
• Installation, maintenance and repair should be performed by a qualified installer. Work
by unqualified persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
• Do not operate the appliance if damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled or if it
has missing or broken parts.
• Before installation or service, disconnect the power supply to the work area by
unplugging the unit, "tripping" the circuit breaker or removing the fuse.
• Only connect the dishwasher to the power supply when all installation and plumbing
work is complete.
• Never connect the ground wire to gas lines, or hot water pipes, plumbing lines.
• Do not install or store the dishwasher where it can be ex-posed to below freezing
temperatures or exposed to weather.
• Dishwasher must be secured to adjacent cabinetry using the brackets provided. Failure
to do this may cause damage to property or bodily injury.
• Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical
overload. The dishwasher is designed for an electrical supply of 120 V (volts), 60 Hz
(hertz),
AC, connected to a dishwasher-dedicated, properly grounded electrical circuit with a fuse
or breakers rated for 15 amperes. Electrical supply conductors shall be a minimum of #
16 AWG copper wire rated at 75 °C (167 °F) or higher. These requirements must be met
to prevent injury and machine damage. Consult a qualified electri-cian if in doubt.
• Do not use any extension cord or portable outlet device to connect the dishwasher to a
power supply.
WARNING: Danger of suffocation! Ensure that any plastic
wrap-pings, bags, small pieces etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of
children.
