Be sure that your outlet matches the appropriate blade
configuration of the plug and that it is within reach of
the service cord.
All wiring, including installation of the receptacle,
must be in accordance with the NEC and local codes,
ordinances and regulations. National codes require
the use of an arc fault or leakage current detection
device on all 208/230V power cords. Be sure to select
the correct cord for your installation.

Grounding
For safety and protection, the unit is grounded
through the service cord plug or through separate
ground wire provided on hard wired units. Be sure
that the branch circuit or general purpose outlet is
grounded.
VOLTAGE SUPPLY
Check voltage supply at outlet. For satisfactory
results, the voltage range must always be within the
ranges found on the data information plate.
Cord--connected Units
for the standard 208/230--v units and be within reach
of the service cord. The standard cord--connected
265--v units require an accessory electrical subbase
for operation. Refer to Table 2 for proper receptacle
and fuse type.
Power Cord Protection
The power cord for 208/230v units provide power
cord fire protection. Unit power automatically
disconnects when unsafe conditions are detected.
Power to the unit can be restored by pressing the reset
button on plug head.
Upon completion of unit installation for 208/230V
models, an operational check should be performed
using the TEST/RESET buttons on the plug head.
