2. Run flexible, armored or non

metallic sheathed, copper cable

(with grounding wire) from the fused

disconnect, circuit breaker or

junction box through the 1 /2" or

larger cabinet hole to the

dishwasher location. The cable must

extend 24" from the back wall,

The hole cut through a wood

cabinet should be sanded until

smooth.

The hole cut through a metal cabi

net must be covered with a grom

met (Part No. 302797), available from

your authorized dealer.

A U.L.-listed strain relief or conduit

connector must be installed at each

end of the power supply cable (at

the dishwasher and at the junction

box). Wire sizes (COPPER WIRE ONLY)

must conform with the rating of the

3. Remove the dishwasher terminal

box cover. Connect the white and

black wires of the power supply

cable to the white and black leads

in the terminal box with twist-on wire

connectors. (See Figure 3.)

4. Connect the power supply

grounding wire to the green, ground

ing wire inside the terminal box with

a twist-on wire connector.

(See Figure 3.)

5. Replace terminal box cover.

Temporary grounding method

THIS, HOWEVER IS NOT

RECOMI^ENDED.

If the recommended grounding

method is impossible — connect a

separate, grounding wire (No. 16

minimum) to the green, grounding

screw inside the terminal box. Con

nect the other end of the separate

grounding wire to a grounded, metal

cold water pipe. (See Figure 5.)

Do not connect to electrical supply

until dishwasher is permanently

grounded.

Do Not ground to a gas supply pipe

or hot water pipe.

* Grounded, cold water pipe must have

metal continuity to electrical ground and

not be interrupted by plastic, rubber or other

insulating connectors such as hoses, fittings,

washers or gaskets (ihcludihg water meter or

pump). Any insulating electrical connector

should be jumped, as shown, with a length of

N0.-4 copper wire securely clamped to bare

metal at both ends. (See Figure 5.)

B. Power supply cord method

(connecting dishwasher to

outlet)

Local codes may permit the use of a

U.L.-listed, flexible, three-conductor,

power supply cord terminated with a

three-prong, grounding-type plug.

It is recommended that cord kit.

Part No. 4317824, available from your

Whirlpool dealer or parts supplier, be

used. If the cord kit is not available

locally, the flexible cord used must

be a U.L.-listed, three-conductor,

16-gauge cord that meets the

National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA

70-latest edition, and all local codes

and ordinances. The length of the

cord must not exceed six feet. It

must be routed so that it does not

touch the dishwasher motor or the

lower portion of the dishwasher tub.

A strain relief (Part No. 596556),

available form your dealer or parts

supplier, or a similar part must be

used to secure the flexible cord to

the dishwasher frame or terminal

box. The flexible cord must be

plugged into a mating, three-prong,

grounding-type wall receptacle

Panel B

grounded in accordance with the

National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA

70-latest edition, and all local codes

and ordinances. Follow the

Instructions packaged with the

flexible cord.

Dishwashers equipped with a power

supply cord have a 3-prong,

grounding plug. It must be plugged

into a mating, 3-prong, grounding-

type receptacle (See electrical

requirements. Panel A). If a mating

wall receptacle is not available, it is

the personal responsibility and

obligation of the customer to have a

properly grounded, 3-prong, wall

receptacle installed by a qualified

electrician. (See Figure 4.)

If changing and properly grounding

the electrical supply is impossible,

and where local codes permit

(consult your electrical inspector), a

temporary adapter may be plugged

into the 2-prong, wall receptacle to

mate with the 3-prong, power supply

cord. (See Figure 6.)

If this is done, you must connect a

separate, copper grounding wire

from the adapter ground to the

or hot water pipe.

IF POWER CORD CANNOT BE

USED...

When local codes do not permit use

of a power cord with an undercoun

ter dishwasher, the power cord must

be removed and dishwasher wired

directly, IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD

IS REMOVED, THE DISHWASHER MUST

BE CONNECTED WITH COPPER WIRE

1. Disconnect the power supply.

2. Remove terminal box cover.

3. Remove twist-on wire connectors

from the power cord wires and

grounding wires, (See Figure 7.)

4. Disconnect the strain relief (behind

the terminal box) from the dish

washer frame.

5. Remove power cord, strain relief

and terminal box bushing,

6. See "A. Direct wire method," Panels

A and B, for further instructions.

Water

requirements

The hot water line to the dishwasher

must provide between 15 -120 psi

water pressure. The hot water heater
