Connecting Power
The dishwasher should have a dedicated properly grounded branch circuit to connect the 3 wire setup which includes the ground wire.
If a 3-prong power supply is used, it should be in an accessible location adjacent to the dishwasher within 4 ft. (1.22 m) of the dishwasher side and not behind the dishwasher.
