The appliance should be connected to the
fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box
through flexible armored or nonmetallic
sheathed cable. The flexible armored cable
extending from this appliance should be
connected directly to the grounded junction
box. The junction box should be located as
shown in Dimensions and Clearances with
as much slack as possible remaining in the
cable between the box and the appliance, so it
can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.
