WARNING
Recheck and inspect to make certain all components involved in the
conversion are correct and secure.
Recheck all of the electrical wiring changes made against the wiring diagram requirements for accuracy.
Check to insure all of the electrical connections are tightly secured and the electrical wire routings are
orderly.
Special attention should be given to the electrical heating elements. The wattage and voltage rating of the
element is marked on the element itself. Confirm the marking agrees with the intended conversion.
Additionally, the element wattage can be verified by checking the electrical resistance (ohms of resistance)
with an Ohm Meter. This should be done initially before connecting the element to the circuit. The element
resistance should be plus or minus 5 percent of the following values:
Table 3. Ohms of Electrical Resistance.
