WARNING
• To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, electric
shock, property damage, injury to persons, or
death when using this appliance, fulfill the
following requirements.
Electrical Requirements for Electric
Models
WARNING
• The wiring and grounding must conform to the
latest edition of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 and all applicable local
regulations. Please contact a qualified electrician
to check your home's wiring and fuses to ensure
that your home has adequate electrical power to
operate the appliance.
• This appliance must be connected to a grounded
metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding conductor must be run
with the circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the
appliance.
• The appliance has its own terminal block that
must be connected to a separate 240 VAC, 60-
Hertz, single-phase circuit, fused at 30 amperes.
(The circuit must be fused on both sides of the
line.) ELECTRICAL SERVICE FOR THE APPLIANCE
SHOULD BE OF THE MAXIMUM RATE VOLTAGE
LISTED ON THE NAMEPLATE. DO NOT CONNECT
THE APPLIANCE TO 110-, 115-, OR 120-VOLT
CIRCUIT.
• If the branch circuit to appliance is 15 ft. (4.5 m)
or less in length, use UL (Underwriters
Laboratories) listed No.-10 AWG wire (copper
wire only), or as required by local codes. If over
15 ft. (4.5 m), use UL-listed No.-8 AWG wire
(copper wire only), or as required by local codes.
Allow sufficient slack in wiring so the appliance
can be moved from its normal location when
necessary.
• The power cord (pigtail) connection between the
wall receptacle and the appliance terminal block
IS NOT supplied with the appliance. Type of
pigtail and gauge of wire must conform to local
codes and with instructions on the following
pages.
• Do not modify the plug and internal wire
provided with the appliance.
• The appliance should be connected to a 4-hole
outlet.
• If the plug does not fit the outlet, a proper outlet
will need to be installed by a qualified electrician.
• Connect the power cord to the terminal block.
Each colored wire should be connected to the
same color screw. Wire color indicated in manual
is connected to the same color screw in the
block.
• Grounding through the neutral conductor is
prohibited for: (1) new branch-circuit
installations and (2) areas where local codes
prohibit grounding through the neutral
conductor.
• This appliance is supplied with the neutral wire
grounded. This white ground wire MUST BE
MOVED to the neutral terminal when a 4-wire
cord is to be used, or where grounding through
the neutral conductor is prohibited.
Four-Wire Power Cord
• A UL-listed strain relief is
required.
• Use a 30-amp, 240-volt, 4-wire, UL-listed
power cord with #10 AWG-minimum copper
conductor and closed loop or forked terminals
with upturned ends.
1
Remove the terminal block access cover on
the upper back of the appliance.
2
Install UL-listed strain relief into the power
cord through-hole.
3
Thread a 30-amp, 240-volt, 4-wire, UL-listed
power cord with #10 AWG-minimum copper
conductor through the strain relief.
