A pre-wired junction box receptacle with strain relief is provided on the right side of the cabinet for hard wiring the unit to a 15 Amp, 120VAC, 60Hz grounded branch circuit. If the installation demands that the electrical supply be connected from the left side, the entire receptacle box can be relocated to the left side by following these instructions:

Note: If you do not need to relocate the junction box, to connect the electric supply follow steps 8 through 11 only:

1.Remove the 2 screws and outer cover with strain relief bushing on the right side of the cabinet (see Figure 32).

2.Removeinnerretainingscrew onthejunctionboxmountingtab.

4.Swing the junction box out and slip the retaining flange out through the slot in the outer cabinet.

5.Remove the two screws and outer cover on the left side of the outer cabinet.

6.Reinsert the junction box retaining flange through the slot now on the left side and swing the screw mounting tab back through the notch as before.

7.Slide the junction box down till the mounting tab holes line up and replace the inner retaining screw.

8.With the junction box cover removed, pull the end of 3-wire Romex supply line through the universal strain relief bushing on the cover. (see Figure 32).

9.Strip back the outer Romex to about 4” and connect the black, white and green wires accordingly using 3 wire nut connectors.

10.Tuck the tailing wires into the junction box and replace the junction box cover using the 2 remaining screws.

11.Tighten down the strain adjustment on the universal bushing until the Romex sheathing is secured.
