These models must be installed using the
appropriate GE power supply kit for the branch
circuit amperage and the electrical resistance
heater wattage desired. See page 14. One of the
following installation methods must be used:

the responsibility of the installer to ensure
that connection of components is done in
accordance with these instructions and all
electrical codes.

For direct connection to branch circuit wiring
inside the provided junction box without using
a subbase kit, the cord is to be cut and the wire
ends stripped and connected as follows.
Steps for preparing cordset for direct connection:
1
Remove the junction box cover by taking out
the front four screws.
2
Remove the junction box by taking out the top
rear screw. Note how the slot at the lower right
corner of the junction box serves to hold the
corner in place. This will help when the box is
being reinstalled.
3
Remove the cordset from the power supply kit.
Measure 4
″ down the cord from where it emerges
from the back of the nylon plastic connector and
cut the cord through at this point.
4
Carefully remove 3″ of the cordset insulation
so as to expose the three insulated wires.
5
Strip 3/4″ of the insulation away at the end of
each of the three wires (L1, Neutral and
Ground). Plug the connector fully into place in
the chassis mating connector. Be sure the
locking tabs at the sides are engaged.
