ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
A junction box with universal strain adaptor is provided to hard
wire the unit to a 15 AMP, 120Volt, 60 Hz grounded branch circuit
from the right side. If necessary the junction box may be relocated
to route supply to the left side by following these instructions:
1. Remove the 2 screws and outer cover on the right side (see
Figure 7).
2. Remove the inner screw retaining the junction box.
3. Slide the junction box up until the screw mounting tab is lined
up to the notch in the outer cabinet.
4. Swing the box out and slip the retaining flange out through the
slot in the outer cabinet.
5. Remove the 2 screws and outer cover on the left side and
reattach now on the right side of the outer cabinet.
6. Swing the junction box with harness to the left side while
pulling sufficient length of harness out through the control
panel cover to reach the mounting location on the left side (see
Figure 8).
7. Reinsert the retaining flange through the slot and swing the
screw mounting tab back through the notch as before.
8. Slide the junction box down till the mounting holes line up and
replace the inner retaining screw.
9. Pull end of 3-wire Romex supply line through the universal
strain relief bushing in the remaining cover.
10. Strip back the outer Romex to about 4” and connect the black,
white and green wires accordingly using approved connectors.
11. Tuck the tailing wires into the junction box and replace the
cover using the 2 remaining screws.
12. Tighten down the strain adjustment on the universal bushing
until the Romex sheathing is secured.
The electrical connection is now complete.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to inspect the components and wiring
for damage before connecting power to the unit. If any
components are found damaged, contact an authorized dealer
for original DESA replacement part(s) or call DESA at 1-866-
872-6040 for referral.
IMPORTANT: Prior to operation remove the foam shipping
brace located under the motor mount (see Figure 9).
