The neutral of this 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.
