Electrical & water
supply
requirements
A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15- or
20-ampere, fused, electrical supply is
required. A time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended. It is
recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
This appliance is equipped with a power
supply cord having a 3-prong ground plug.
To minimize possible shock hazard, the
cord must be plugged into a mating
3-prong, ground-type outlet, grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition* or
Canadian Electrical Code, C22.1-1982 and
C22.2 No. 01982 (or latest edition)**, and
all local codes and ordinances. See Figure 1.
If a mating outlet is not available, it is the
personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have a properly grounded
3-prong outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Warning – Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in
a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as
to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
