Check with you r local utilities for electrical codes which
apply in your area. Failure to wire your unit according to
governing codes could result in a hazardous condition.
If there are no local codes, your counter unit must be
wired
and fused
to meet the requirements
of the
NATIONAL

cutout dimensions and minimum clearances as shown
on previous page. To minimizechipping
ofthe countertop
you can apply masking tape before you make the cut.
Install an approved junction box where it will be easily
reached through the front
of the cabinet
where the
counter unit will be located. The counter unit has 3 feet
of conduit_
IMPORTANT:
The junction
box must
be located
where
it will
allow
considerable
slack
in the
conduit
for serviceability,
See Fig. 3.
Install the counter unit in the cutout opening.
Note:
If
the unit is being installed in a blind counter (one with no
cabinet opening below), wire connections must be made
before putting the unit into the cutout.
Secure the tub of the counter unit to the counter with the
wood screws shipped
with the unit.
ELECTRICAL

The electrical power to the supply line
must be shut off while line connections
are being made.. Failure to do so could
result in serious injury or death.
When making the wire con nections, use the entire length
conduit provided (3 feet)_ The conduit must not be cut.
Connect the red and black leads from the counter unit
conduit to the corresponding
leads in the junction in the
junction box.
The bare ground wire in the conduit is connected to the
counter unlt frame. Connect the other end of this wire to
a properly grounded cold water pipe or use another
approved grounding method.
A white (neutral) wire is not needed for this unit. The
