B. The appliance should be connected to the fused

disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible
armored or non-metallic sheathed cable. The flexible
armored cable extending from the appliance should

be connected directly to the junction box. The

junction box should be located as shown in Figure 1

so that as much slack as possible remains in the

cable between the box and the appliance so that it
can be moved if servicing is ever necessary.

C. A suitable relief must be provided to attach the

flexible armored cable to the junction box.

D. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to contact a qualified installer to assure

that the electrical installation is adequate and is in

conformance with the National Electrical Code and
local code ordinances.

Electrical ground is required on this appiiance.

This appliance is equipped with copper lead wires. If
connection is made to aluminum house wiring, use only
special connectors which are approved for joining cop­

per and aluminum wires, in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.

This appliance is manufactured with a white neutral
power supply wire and a frame-connected green ground
wire.

1. If local codes permit connection of the frame­

grounding conductor to the neutral (white wire),

connect the green and white wire from the supply
cable of the appliance together and to the neutral
(white) wire in the junction box. Connect the remain­
ing wires from the supply cable, matching the colors,
to the wires in the junction box.

2. If local codes DO NOT permit frame grounding to the

neutral,

separate the white and green wires that

extend out of the end of the supply cable of the
appliance. Connect the white wire from the supply

cable to the neutral wire in the junction box.

Connect the black and red wire from the supply cable,
matching the colors, to the corresponding wires in the
junction box. The green wire MUST now be used to
ground the appliance in accordance with local electri­
cal codes. Connect the green ground wire to a
grounded cold water pipe*or to the grounded lead in
the service panel. 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. See Figure

.

CAUTION — If connecting to a four-wire electrical system
(MOBILE HOME) the appliance frame MUST NOT be
connected to the neutral wire of the four-wire electrical

system. Separate the white and green wires that extend

out of the end of the supply cable of the appliance.

Connect the white, red and black wires from the supply
cable, matching the colors, to the corresponding wires in
the junction box. Connect the green wire from the supply
cable to the ground wire in the junction box.
