Installation Preparation
Cabinet Preparation & Wire Routing
• The wiring may enter the opening from either side, rear or the
floor within the shaded area.
• Cut a 1-1/2” max. dia. hole to admit the electrical cable. The hole
must be free of sharp edges. If the cabinet wall is metal, the
hole edge must be covered with a bushing.
• Cable direct connections may pass through the same hole as the
drain hose and hot water line, if convenient. If cabinet wall is
metal, the hole edge must be covered with a bushing.
NOTE:
Power cords with plug must pass through a separate
hole.
Electrical Connection to Dishwasher

• For cable direct connections the cable must be routed as shown
in Figure E. Cable must extend a minimum of 24” from the rear
wall.
• For power cord connections, install a 3-prong grounding type
receptacle. The power-supply receptacle for the appliance shall
be installed in a cabinet or on a wall adjacent to the
