60 Hz, AC, connected to a dishwasher-dedicated,
properly
grounded electrical circuit with a fuse or breaker rated for 15
amps. Electrical supply conductors shall be a minimum #14
AWG copper wire rated at 75°C (167°F) or higher.

Electrical
Connection
The dishwasher electrical supply junction box and dedicated
receptacle
must be mounted
in an accessible
cabinet
adjacent to the dishwasher (do not mount the junction box
or receptacle behind the dishwasher). You will need a
41/4 '' x 2" (108 x 51mm) opening throught the cabinet in
order to pass the junction box through (see Figure 4). If the
opening is made through wood, sand it smooth. If the opening
is made through metal, use the included protective grommet
or other approved method to protect wiring from damage.
Use the four screws included (or appropriate fastener) in the
parts bag to securely mount the junction box so that it can
be easily accessed (see Figure 4). The electrical supply can
be connected in two ways:
