Electrical
connection
It is the responsibility and obligation
of the consumer to
contact a qualified installer to assure that the electrical
installation is adequate and is in conformance with the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition,
or with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code,
Part 1, and local codes and ordinances.
Risk of electrical
shock
(Failure to
heed this warning
may result in electrocution
or
other serious injury.) This appliance
is equipped
with copper lead wire. If connection
is made to
aluminum
house wiring,
use only connectors
that
are approved
for joining copper and aluminum
wire
in accordance
with the National
Electrical
Code
and local code and ordinances.
When installing
connectors
having screws which
bear directly
on
the steel and/or
aluminum
flexible
conduit,
do no
tighten
screws sufficiently
to damage
the flexible
conduit.
Do not over bend or excessively
distort
flexible
conduit
to avoid separation
of convolutions
en exposure
of internal wires.
DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe. DO NOT connect
to electrical power supply until appliance is permanently
grounded. Connect the ground wire before turning on
the power.
(If your appliance
is equipped
with
a
white
neutral
conductor,)
This appliance
is manufactured
with
a white
neutral
power
supply and a frame connected
copper wire,
The frame is grounded
by connection
of grounding
lead to neutral
lead at the termination
of the
conduit,
if used in USA, in a new branch circuit
installation
(1996 NEC), mobile
home, recreational
vehicles, where
local code do not permit grounding
trough
the neutral
(white)
wire or in Canada,
disconnect
the white
and green lead from each
other and use ground
lead to ground
unit in
accordance
with
local codes, connect
neutral
lead
to branch circuit=neutral
conductor
in usual manner
see Figure 5. If your appliance
is to be connected
to a 3 wire grounded
junction
box (US only),
where
local code permit connecting
the appliance=
grounding
conductor
to the neutral
(white)
see
Figure 4.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable leads
supplied with the appliance are UL-recognized for
connection to larger gauge household wiring. The
insulation of the leads is rated at temperatures much
higher than temperature rating of household wiring. The
current carrying capacity of the conductor is governed by
the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire,
rather than the wire gauge alone.
Where local codes permit
connecting
the appliance=
grounding
conductor
to the neutral
(white)
wire
(US Only) (see figure 4):
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. In the junction box:
connect appliance and power supply cable wires as
shown in Figure 4.

If the appliance
is used in a new branch circuit
installation
(1996 NEC), mobile
home, recreational
vehicle, or where local codes DO NOT permit
grounding
through
the neutral
(white)
wire, the
appliance
frame MUST NOT be connected
to the
neutral
wire of the 4=wire electrical
system (see
figure
5):
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Separate the green (or bare copper) and white
appliance cable wires.
3. In the junction box:
connect appliance and power supply cable wires as
shown in Figure 5.
