ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Unit to be properly circuit protected and wired according to

local electrical code and National Electrical Code.

It is advisable that the electrical wiring and hookup be

accomplished by a competent electrician.

120/240 VAC or 120/208 VAC 60 Hz. See serial plate on

each unit for power requirements.

The neutral of the lower unit is grounded to the frame

through the green or solid grounding wire. (The green

and the white wires are twisted together at the

termination of the conduit.) If used on new branch--circuit

installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, recreational

vehicles, or in an area where local codes prohibit

grounding through the neutral conductor, untwist or

disconnect the green wire and connect the green wire to

ground in accordance with local code. Connect the white

neutral to the service neutral. Connect all wires to the

branch circuit with approved connectors. Use copper or

aluminum wire. If aluminum wire is used, use connectors

recognized for joining aluminum to copper.

The chart below recommends the minimum circuit

protection and wire size if the appliance is the only unit

on the circuit.
