Page 21 highlights

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Electrically ground dishwasher. Connect ground wire to green ground connector in terminal box. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. Tighten strain relief screws to secure cable. Make sure screw heads are facing up when tightening conduit nut. Form bare ground wire into a U-shaped hook. Wrap ground wire hook clockwise around the ground connector screw on the raised floor inside the box and under the washer. Securely tighten ground connector. Select UL Listed/CSA Approved twist-on wire connectors of the proper size. See the "Tools and Parts" section at the front of the guide for part details. Connect wires, black to black and white to white, using the twist-on wire connectors. NOTE: Do not pre-twist stranded wire. Twist on wire connector. Gently tug on wires to be sure both are secured. Place wires inside terminal box. Replace the cover by inserting the hooks of the terminal cover into the slots in the floor of the terminal box and sliding the cover tight against the back wall where wires come in. Make sure wires are tucked inside the box and not pinched by the cover. Then, put the terminal box back on the crossbar with the tab in place. Use a ¹⁄₄" nut driver and the previously removed screw to secure the terminal box to the crossbar. Once the terminal box has been remounted on the dishwasher, there should be some excess length or slack in the green, black, and white wires coming from the dishwasher to the terminal box. Wrap these wires over the nearby components, or clip them back into the nearby clips that they were routed through prior to your removing the box, to help keep them off the floor. 21
