Direct Electrical Connection to the Circuit
Breaker, Fuse Box or Junction Box
If the appliance is connected directly to the circuit breaker,
fuse box or junction box, useflexible, armored or non
metallic sheathed copper cable (with grounding wire).
Supply a U.L. listed strain-relief at each end of the cable.
At the appliance end, the cable goes through the Direct
Connection Hole (seefigure 4) on the Cord Mounting
Plate. Wire sizes (copper wire only) and connections must
conform to the rating of the appliance.
Where local codes permit connecting the appliance
grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire
(see Figure 5).(The 3-conductor cord or cable must be
replaced with a 4-conductor cord or cable where
grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited in
new installations, mobile homes, recreational vehicles or
in other areas where local codes do not permit neutral
grounding)
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box:
a) Connect the green (or bare copper) wire, the white
appliance cable wire, and the neutral (white) wire
together.
b) Connect the 2 black wires together.
c) Connect the 2 red wires together.

Where local codes DO NOT permit connecting the
appliance grounding conductor to the neutral
(white) wire or if connecting to 4-wire electrical
system (see Figure 6).
1. Disconnect the power supply.
2. Separate the green (or bare copper) and white
appliance cable wires.
3. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box:
a) Connect the white appliance cable wire to the
neutral (white) wire.
b) Connect the 2 black wires together.
c) Connect the 2 red wires together.
d) Connect the green (or bare copper) grounding
wire to the grounding wire of the circuit breaker,
fuse box or junction box.
