The 230/208-volt models require

their own single branch circuit sup-

plying 230/208-volt a.c., protected

breaker.

This is recommended for best

performance and to prevent over-

loading house wiring circuits,

which could cause apossible fire

hazard from overheating wires.

The 115-volt models require a

115/120-volt a.c., 60 Hz grounded

outlet protected with a15-amp

time delay fuse or circuit breaker.

The 3-prong grounding plug

minimizes the possibility of electric

shock hazard. If the wall outlet you

it is your responsibility to have it

replaced with aproperly grounded

3-prong wall outlet.
