FOR THE ELECTRICIAN
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 Amp fused electrical
supply is required (time delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended). it is recommended that a separate
circuit, serving only this appliance, be provided. DO
NOT use an extension cord.
ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED ON THIS
APPLIANCE.
RECOMMENDED
GROUNDING METHOD
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE
THE POWER SUPPLY CORD GROUND PRONG.
For your personal safety, this appliance must be
grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power
supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To
minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating 3-prong grounding type wall
receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a
mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a
properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a
qualified electrician. See Figure 6.
ALTERNATE
GROUNDING METHOD
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE
THE POWER SUPPLY CORD GROUND PRONG.
If changing and properly grounding the wall receptacle is
impossible and where local codes permit (consult your
electrical inspector), a temporary adapter may be
plugged into the existing 2-prong wall receptacle to mate
with the 3-prong power supply cord See Figure 7. THIS,
HOWEVER, IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
If this is done, you must connect the grounding eyelet on
the adapter to the wall receptacle cover plate screw and
from this same screw, you must connect a separate
copper ground wire (No. 4 minimum) to a grounded
cold water pipe *. See Figure 7. Do not ground to a gas
supply pipe. Do not connect to electrical supply until
appliance is permanently grounded.
* Cold water pipe must have metal continuity to
electrical ground and not be Interrupted by plastic,
rubber
or
other
electrically
insulating
connectors
including water meter or pump) without adding a jumper
wire at these connections.
