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 follows:
It is the personal
responsibility
and obligation
of the cus-
tomer
to contact
a qulaified
installer
to assure that
the
electrical
installation
is adequate
and
is in conformance
with
the
National
Electrical
Code
and
local
code
ordi-
nances.
Electrical
ground
is required
on this appliance.
This
appliance
is equipped
with
copper
lead wires.
If con-
nection
is made to aluminum
house wiring,
use only
special
connectors
which
are approved
for joining
copper
and alu-
minum
wires
in accordance
with
the
National
Electrical
Code
and
local
codes
and
ordinances.
This
appliance
is
manufactured
with
a white
neutral
power
supply
wire and a
frame
connected
green (or bare) ground
wire twisted
together.
If local
codes
permit
connection
of the frame
grounding
conductor
to the neutral
(white)
wire,
connect
the green
(or bare wire)
and white
wire
from
the supply
cable of the
appliance
together
and the neutral
(white)
wire in the junc-
tion
box.
Connect
the
remaining
wires
from
the supply
cable to the wires
in the junction
box. See Figure
10.
If local codes DO NOT
permit
frame
grounding
to the neu-
tral, separate
the white
(and green or bare wires) that extend
GREEN
OR
BARE
WIRE
out
of the end of the supply
cable
of the appliance.
See
Figure
12. Connect
the white
wire from
the supply
cable to
the neutral
wire
in the junction
box. Connect
the black
(or
brown)
and red wire
from
the supply
cable,
to the corre-
sponding
wires
in the
junction
box. The
green
(or bare)
wire
must now be used to ground
the appliance
in accord-
ance with
local electrical
codes.
Connect
the green colored
copper
(or bare) ground
wire to a grounded
cold water
pipe*
(see Figure
11) or to the grounded
lead in the service
panel.
Do
not
ground
to a gas supply
pipe.
Do not connect
to
electric
power
supply
until
appliance
is permanently
ground-
ed. Connect
the ground
wire
before
turning
on the power.
(See Figure
11.)
CAUTION
-
If connecting
to a four-wire
electrical
sys-
tem (MOBILE
HOME)
the appliance
frame
MUST
NOT
be connected
to the neutral
wire of the four-wire
electri-
cal system.
Separate
the white
(and
green or bare wires)
that
extend
out of the end of the supply
cable of the ap-
pliance.
Connect
the white,
red and black
(or brown)
wires
from
the supply
cable,
to the corresponding
wires
in the junction
box. Connect
the green(or
bare) wire from
the supply
cable to the ground
wire in the junction
box.
(See Figure
