This appliance is manufactured with a frame connected 
green (or bare copper) ground wire.

 DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe. 

DO NOT connect to electrical power supply until 
appliance is permanently grounded. Connect the 
ground wire before turning on the power.

If your appliance is not equipped with a white 
neutral conductor:
Connectonlytoa3-wire,120/240Vpowersupply;the
neutral conductor is not required for the operation of the 
appliance. The potential at the power supply electrical 
connections shall be 150V to ground or less.

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The armored cable leads 
suppliedwiththeapplianceareUL-recognizedfor
connection to larger gauge household wiring. The 
insulation of the leads is rated at temperatures much 
higher than temperature rating of household wiring. The 
current carrying capacity of the conductor is governed by 
thetemperatureratingoftheinsulationaroundthewire,
rather than the wire gauge alone. 

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: Grounding through the 
neutral conductor is prohibited for new branch-circuit 
installations(1996NEC);mobilehomes;recreational
vehicules;orinCanada,orinanareawherelocalcodes
prohibit grounding through the neutral connector.

 (If your appliance is equipped with a 

white neutral conductor.)
This appliance is manufactured with a white neutral 
power supply and a frame connected copper 
wire. The frame is grounded by connection of 
grounding lead to neutral lead at the termination 
of the conduit, if used in USA, in a new branch 
circuit installation (1996 NEC), mobile home, 
recreational vehicles, where local code do not 
permit grounding trough the neutral (white) wire 
or in Canada, disconnect the white and green lead 
from each other and use ground lead to ground 
unit in accordance with local codes, connect neutral 
lead to branch circuit‑neutral conductor in usual 
manner see Figure 6 or 7. If your appliance is to 
be connected to a 3 wire grounded junction box 
(US only), where local code permit connecting 
the appliance‑grounding conductor to the neutral 
(white) see Figure 4 or 5.
 

Where local codes permit connecting the 
appliance‑grounding conductor to the neutral 
(white) wire (USA only): 
Your appliance has a 3‑wire cable to be connected 
to a 3‑wire grounded junction box (see figure 4):
1.  Disconnect the power supply.
2. Inthecircuitbreaker,fuseboxorjunctionbox:
  Connect appliance and power supply cable wires as 

shown in figure 4.

Your appliance has a 4‑wire cable to be connected 
to a 3‑wire grounded junction box (see figure 5):
1.  Disconnect the power supply.
2. Inthejunctionbox:
  Connect appliance and power supply cable wires as 

shown in Figure 5.
