Electrical Shock Hazard
l Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.
l If cold water pipe is interrupted by
plastic, non-metallic gaskets, or
other insulating materials, Do Not
use for grounding.
l Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
l Do Not modify the power supply
cord plug. If it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
. Use a new 30-ampere power supply
cord kit. Do Not reuse an old power
supply cord. Possible electrical
shock or fire hazard could occur if
old power supply cord is used.
l Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit. A fuse in the
neutral or grounding circuit could
result in an electrical shock.
l Do Not use an extension cord with
this appliance.
l Check with a qualified electrician
as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injury or death.
If codes permit and a separate grounding

A three-wire, single-phase,
120/240-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only electrical
supply with a fourth wire as a grounding
wire (or three-wire, 120/208-volt electrical
supply with a fourth wire as a grounding
wire if specified on serial/rating plate) is
required on a separate 30-ampere
circuit, fused on both sides of the line. The
fourth (grounding) conductor must be
identified by a green or green/yellow
cover and the neutral conductor by a
white cover. Time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker is recommended). The
