Connection
Note: Supply wires may be alternatively connected to the outlet using the screw terminals,
however the black supply wire must be ganged wired to the same terminal that the pre-wired black
wire is attached to and the white supply wire must be connected to the opposite side of the outlet.
IMPORTANT: Ground lead must be connected
to the green screw located on the junction box
cover plate. Failure to do so will prevent the
appliance from operating. The appliance must
be electrically grounded in accordance with
local codes or, in the absence of local codes, the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-(latest
edition). (In Canada, the current CSA C22-1
Canadian Electrical Code.)
The forced air blower kit may be mounted at
initial appliance installation or at any time there-
after. Follow the instructions provided with the
blower kit.
Finished Wall Details
It is sometimes best to frame the appliance
after it has been positioned in place. Frame with
2 x 4s or heavier lumber. Always frame in
accordance with local building codes.
Note: The header may rest on the top spacers
but must not be notched to fit around them.
In order to install the appliance facing flush with
the finished wall, position the framework to
accommodate the thickness of the finished wall
(
Refer to Figures 2 and 3
).
If you live in a cold climate, seal all cracks
around your appliance with noncombustible
material and wherever cold air could enter the
room. It is especially important to insulate
outside chase cavity between studs and under
floor on which appliance rests, if floor is above
ground level.
Proceed to Step 12.
