GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WIRING
Grounding Instructions – This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current, to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This appliance is for use on a standard 120 VAC, dedicated 15-amp branch circuit with a NEMA 5-15R receptacle or a dedicated
20-amp branch circuit with a NEMA 5-20R receptacle for Broan models VX3000C and VX6000C. For Broan model VX12000C, a
dedicated nominal 240 VAC, individual 20-amp branch circuit with NEMA 6-20R receptacle is required. Make sure that the
appliance is connected to an outlet and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug shown in either
Fig. 4
or
Fig. 5
depending on the model. No adapter should be used with this appliance.
