This appliance should be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) through
flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable. Allow some slack in the cable so the
appliance can be moved if servicing is ever necessary. A UL Listed, 1/2" conduit connector must
be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the appliance and at the junction box).
When making the electrical connection, cut a 1 1/4" hole in the wall. A hole cut through wood
