ALTERNATE GROUNDING METHOD

If changing and properly grounding the wall receptacle is impossible and where local codes permit (consult your electrical inspector), a temporary adapter may be plugged into the existing 2-prong wall receptacle to mate with the 3-prong power supply cord. See Figure 2. THIS,

HOWEVER, IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

If this is done, you must connect the grounded eyelet on the adapter to the wall receptacle cover plate screw and from this same screw, you must connect a separate copper ground wire (#14 minimum) to a grounded cold water pipe.* See Figure 2. Do not ground to a gas supply pipe. Do not connect to electrical supply until appliance is permanently grounded.

*Cold water pipe must have metal continuity to

electrical ground and not be interrupted by plastic, rubber or other electrically insulating connectors (including water meter or pump) without adding a jumper wire at these con- nections.

ELECTRICAL B REQUIREMENTS

For 230 volt and 230/208 volt models with serial plate amperes up through 12.0

Refer to Chart B for specific wiring and receptacle

information to be used.

OBSERVE ALL LOCAL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDINANCES.

Do not, under any circumstances, remove the power supply cord ground plug.

ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED ON THIS APPLIANCE.

A three-wire, single-phase 60 hertz AC only electrical supply is required.

A separate electrical supply is required on a separately fused circuit. Do not fuse ground- neutral.

See Chart 6 for receptacle voltage require- ments, proper fuse size, wire and wiring con- nections which must conform with rating of

the appliance. Do not use an extension cord.
