Electrical Requirements This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse 40A or 50A. Observe all governing codes and local ordinances 1. A 3-wire or 4-wire single phase 120/240 or 120/208 Volt, 60 Hz AC only electrical supply is required on a separate circuit fused on both sides of the line (red and black wires). A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. DO NOT fuse neutral (white wire). NOTE: Wire sizes and connections must conform with the fuse size and rating of the appliance in accordance with the American National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-latest edition, or with Canadian CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, and local codes and ordinances. An extension cord should not be used with this appllance. Such use may result in a fire, electrlcal shock, or other personal injury. If you need a longer power cord you can purchase a 10' (3 m) power cord kit #903056-9010 by calling the Service Center. 2. These appliances should be connected to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored or nonmetallic sheathed cable. The flexible armored cable extending from the appliance should be connected directly to the junction box. The junction box should be located as shown in Figure ] or Figure 2 and with as much slack as possible remaining in the cable between the box and the appliance, so it can be moved if servicing is ever necessary. 3. A suitable strain relief must be provided to attach the flexible armored cable to the junction box. Electrical Shock Hazard ° Electrical ground is required on this appliance. ° Do not connect to the electrical supply until appliance is permanently grounded. ° Disconnect power to the junction box before making the electrical connection. ° This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or a grounding connector should be connected to the grounding terminal or wire lead on the appliance. • Do not use a gas supply line for grounding the appliance. Failure to do any of the above could result in a fire, personal injury or electrical shock.
