Models FES-1024-1CA and YES-1024-1CA are
shipped with a cordset factory-installed. This cordset
contains a plug for use with a 50A household range
receptacle. The blade configuration on the plug
included on these heaters is represented in fig. 1
below (4-wire circuit).
fig. 1
The range receptacle you choose to use may have a
blade configuration compatible with the plug shown
in fig. 2 (3-wire circuit). This is an older branch
circuit design that does not include a separate
equipment grounding conductor (green wire). The
configuration in fig. 1 has been implemented on
newer branch circuit installations for increased
safety, and is now the required circuit configuration
by the National Electric Code. Changing a 3-wire
branch circuit and receptacle to 4-wire design may
involve changes to your range and must only be done
by a licensed electrician.
