Information Sheet

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 line 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.
Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
These appliances are equipped with a
copper conductor flexible cable. If
connection is made to aluminum house
wiring, use only special connectors,
which are approved for joining copper
and aluminum wires in accordance with
National Electrical Code and local codes
and ordinances.
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 not equipped with
a white neutral conductor: Connect
only to a 3-wire, 120/240V power supply;
the neutral conductor is not required for
the operation of the appliance. Electrical
connection of the potential of the power
supply should be150V to ground or less.
NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armoured
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.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
Grounding through the neutral conductor
is prohibited for new branch-circuit
installations (1996 NEC); mobile homes;
recreational vehicles; or in Canada, or in
an area where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral connector.
Where local codes permit connecting
the appliance-grounding conductor to
the neutral (white) wire:
Your appliance has a 3-wire cable to be
connected to a 3-wire grounded junction
box:
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or
junction box: connect appliance and
power supply cable wires as shown
below.

If the appliance is used in a new
branch circuit installation (1996 NEC),
mobile homes, recreational vehicles,
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.
