NOTE:
Wire sizes and connections must conform with
the fuse size and rating of the appliance in accordance
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.
WARNING
An extension cord must not be used
with this appliance. Such use may result in a fire,
electrical shock, or other personal injury.
2.
The appliance should be connected to the fused
disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible
armored or nonmetallic sheathed cable. The flexible
armored cable extending from this appliance should
be connected directly to the grounded junction box.
The junction box should be located as shown in
Figure 2 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 Connection
Connect the flexible armored cable that extends from
the surface unit to the junction box using a suitable
strain relief at the point the armored cable enters the
junction box. Then make the electrical connection as
described on next page.
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
This appliance is 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 the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances.
This appliance is manufactured with a frame connected
green (or bare copper) ground wire.
