GE 5800 Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions page 15

WARNING:
Connection of this 265 V AC product to a branch circuit
MUST be done by direct connection in accordance with
the National Electric Code. Plugging this unit into a
building mounted exposed receptacle is not permitted
by code.
These models must be installed using the appropriate
GE power supply kit for the branch circuit amperage
and the electrical resistance heater wattage desired.
See the POWER CONNECTION CHART in these
Installation Instructions. One of the following
installation methods must be used:
A Electrical subbase kits are available to provide a flexible
enclosure for direct connection.

The instructions provided with the selected subbase kit must
be carefully followed. It is the responsibility of the installer
to ensure the connection of components is done in
accordance with these instructions and all electrical codes.
B For direct connection to branch circuit wiring inside the
provided junction box without using a subbase kit, cut
the cord, strip the wire ends and connect as follows.
REMOVE JUNCTION BOX
1
1 Remove the junction box cover by taking out the
front four screws.
2 Remove the junction box by taking out the top rear
screw. Note how the tab on the lower right corner
of the junction box serves to hold the side in place.
This will help when the box is being reinstalled.
The cord will be coiled up inside the junction box.

CUT AND STRIP THE CORDSET

1 Remove the cordset from the power supply kit.
Measure 6" down the cord from where it emerges
from the back of the nylon plastic connector
and cut the cord through at this point.
2 Carefully remove 3" of the cordset insulation
so as to expose the three insulated wires.
3 Strip 3/4" of the insulation away at the end
of each of the three wires (L1, Neutral and
Ground). Plug the connector fully into place
in the unit mating connector. Be sure the
locking tabs at the sides are engaged.

NOTE: Order Kit RAK4002CW to enable a quick
disconnect inside the junction box.
ATTACH CONDUIT
3
1 Use the round knockout at the bottom of the
junction box to attach conduit coming from the
branch circuit. Remove the knockout, attach the
conduit and bring wires into the junction box.
Leave 6" of wire free at the end of the conduit
to allow connections to be made.
2 If a fuse and fuseholder are to be used, the
knockout at the top of the box is for mounting
a Buss Fuseholder. Be sure the fuse and fuseholder
are of the same rating as the branch circuit.
Leadwires at the fuse can be either soldered in place
or attached using UL-listed 1/4" female (receptacle)
crimp connectors.
