Make Direct Wire Electrical Connection NOTE: If the power supply cord was connected earlier, proceed to "Secure Dishwasher in Cabinet Opening" section. Option B, Direct Wire: 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. Route cable so that it does not touch dishwasher motor or lower part of dishwasher tub. Pull cable through UL Listed/CSA Approved strain relief in terminal box. Strain relief is not supplied with the dishwasher. Owner must purchase a ⁷⁄₈" screw-in type strain relief. Select UL Listed/CSA Approved twist-on wire connectors (not included) rated to connect your household wiring to 16-gauge dishwasher wiring. Form bare ground wire into a U-shaped hook. Wrap ground wire hook clockwise around ground connector screw and under the washer. Securely tighten ground connector. NOTE: Do not pre-twist stranded wire. Twist on UL listed/CSA approved wire connector. Gently tug on wires to be sure both are secured. 19
