A. A three-wire or four-wire single phase 120/240 volt 60Hz
AC only electrical supply (or threewire or four-wire 1201206
volt if specified on nameplate) is required on a separate
circuit fused on both sides of the line (time-delay fuse or
circuit breaker is recommended). Do NOT fuse neutral. The
fuse size must not exceed the circuit rating of the appliance
specified on the nameplate.
It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to contact a qualified installer to assure that the
electrical installation is adequate and is in conformance
with the National Electrical Code and local code
ordinances.
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
This appliance is equipped with copper lead wires. If the
connection is made to aluminum house wiring, use only special
connectors which are approved for joining copper and
aluminum wires, in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances.
This appliance is manufactured with a white neutral power
supply wire and a frame-connected green ground wire.

1. If local codes permit connection of the frame-
grounding conductor to the neutral (white wire),
connect the green and white wire from the supply
cable of the appliance together and to the neutral
(white) wire in the junction box. Connect the remain-
ing wires from the supply cable, matching the colors,
to the wires in the junction box.
2. If local codes DO NOT permit frame grounding to the
neutral, separate the white and green wires that
extend out of the end of the supply cable of the
appliance. Connect the white wire from the supply
cable to the neutral wire in the junction box.
Connect the black and red wire from the supply cable,
matching the colors, to the corresponding wires in the
junction box. The green wire MUST now be used to
ground the appliance in accordance with local electri-
cal codes. Connect the green ground wire to a
grounded cold water pipe*or to the grounded lead in
the service panel. Do not ground to a gas supply pipe.
Do not connect to electrical power supply until
appliance is permanently grounded. Connect the
ground wrre before turning on the power. See Figure
2.
CAUTION - If connecting to a four-wire electrical system
(MOBILE HOME) the appliance frame MUST NOT be
connected to the neutral wire of the four-wire electrical
system. Separate the white and green wires that extend
out of the end of the supply cable of the appliance.
Connect the white, red and black wires from the supply
cable, matching the colors, to the corresponding wires in
the junction box. Connect the green wire from the supply
cable to the ground wire in the junction box.
