GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WIRING
This section refers to Figure 17 and 18.
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.
Danger
– Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet 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.
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 for NuTone models VX475CC & VX550CC. For NuTone model VX1040CC, a nominal
240VAC, dedicated 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 Figure 17 or 18 depending on the model. No
adapter should be used with this appliance.
