Electrical Wiring Information

The neutral of this unit is grounded to the frame through
the green grounding wire. If used on new branch-circuit
installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, recreational
vehicles, or in an area where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor, untwist or
disconnect the green wire and connect the green wire to
ground in accordance with local code. Connect the white
neutral to the service neutral. Connect all wires to the
branch circuit with approved connectors. Use copper or
aluminum wire. If aluminum wire is used, use connectors
recognized for joining aluminum to copper.

3. Rough edges, inside corners which have not been
rounded and forced fits can contribute to cracking of
the countertop laminate.

4. Countertop must be supported within 3² (7.62 cm) of
cutout.
