may create a hazardous condition.
Electrical Connections
DANGER: The electrical power to the
counter unit supply line must be shut off while
line connections are being made. Failure
to do so could result in serious injury or death.
You must use a two-wire A.C. 208/240 Volt,
60 Hertz electrical system. A white (neutral) wire
is not needed for this unit. The white lead from
the household electrical supply can be isolated
and secured in the junction box. If you connect
to aluminum wiring, properly installed connections
listed for use with aluminum and copper wiring
must be used.
Use a minimum wire size of No. 12 copper wire
with a 20 Amp fuse or circuit breaker for both
208/240 Volt electrical systems.
When making the wire connections, use the
entire length of conduit provided. The conduit
must not be cut.
Connect the red and black leads from the counter
unit conduit to the corresponding leads in the
junction box.
The bare ground wire in the conduit is connected
to the counter unit frame. It must be connected to
the household electrical supply ground.
