Requirements

If codes permit and a separate earthing wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualified electrician determine that

the earthing path is adequate.

120-volts, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-ampere, fused electrical

supply is required. Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is

recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving

only this appliance be provided.

Recommended earthing method
