Leaks and Safe Shutoff

Built-in dishwashers are typically specified for their own properly grounded 120-volt branch circuit protected by a 15- or 20-amp breaker or time-delay fuse, with no extension cords or adapter plugs. Source: GE Appliances - Built-In Dishwasher Installation Instructions
To keep dirty water from siphoning back into the dishwasher, the drain hose is run in a high loop (at least 32 inches high in GE's instructions) or through an air gap; an air gap is called for when local code requires it or when the drain connection sits less than 18 inches above the floor.
