ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
POWER REQUIREMENTS: 120 VAC, 60 Hz., 7 Amp. (Use a 15 Amp Circuit)
A
lways disconnect electric supply cord from the wall outlet or service disconnect before servicing this
appliance. Observe all governing codes and ordinances when grounding, in absence of which, observe
National Electrical Code ANSI / NFPA No. 70.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
This appliance is factory equipped with a power supply cord with a three-
prong grounding plug (with polarized parallel blades). It must be plugged
into a mating grounding type receptacle, connected to a correctly polarized
120 Volt circuit. If the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it
is the responsibility and obligation of the installer or user to have the
existing receptacle changed to a properly grounded and polarized
receptacle in accordance with all applicable local codes and ordinances by a
qualified electrician. In the absence of local codes and ordinances the
receptacle replacement shall be in accordance with the National Electrical
Code.
THE THIRD PRONG SHOULD NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE CUT
OR REMOVED
(See Fig. 8 & 9).
ALTERNATE GROUNDING
METHOD
If installation of a properly grounded wall receptacle is
impossible at the time of installation, consult your local
electrical inspector for permission to connect a temporary
adapter (with polarized blades) which could be plugged into
your present 2-wire receptacle; however, this is not
recommended. If this is done, you must attach the lug and/or
the green adapter wire to the receptacle cover plate screw.
Ground from it to a grounded metal cold water pipe* (See
Fig.9). Do not ground to a gas supply pipe. You must
permanently ground the adapter before connecting the
appliance to the power supply.
CAUTION:
Attaching the adapter ground wire to wall receptacle cover
screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is
grounded through house wiring.
If there is any doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is
properly grounded, the customer should have it checked by a
qualified electrician.
* Cold water pipe must have metal continuity. The electrical
ground cannot be interrupted by plastic, rubber or other
electrically insulating connectors (including water meter or
pump) without adding a jumper wire at these connections
(See Fig.10).
