It's a 4 prong outlet
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Connect to a properly rated, protected, and sized power circuit to avoid electrical overload. The appliance has its own terminal block that must be connected to a separate 240 VAC, 60- Hertz, single-phase circuit, fused at 30 amperes (the circuit must be fused on both sides of the line). ELECTRICAL SERVICE FOR THE APPLIANCE SHOULD BE OF THE MAXIMUM RATE VOLTAGE LISTED ON THE NAMEPLATE. DO NOT CONNECT THE APPLIANCE TO 110-, 115-, OR 120-VOLT CIRCUIT. If the branch circuit to appliance is 15 ft. (4.5 m) or less in length, use UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listed No.-10 AWG wire (copper wire only), or as required by local codes. If over 15 ft. (4.5 m), use UL-listed No.-8 AWG wire (copper wire only), or as required by local codes. Allow sufficient slack in wiring so the appliance can be moved from its normal location when necessary. The power cord (pigtail) connection between the wall receptacle and the appliance terminal block IS NOT supplied with the appliance. Type of pigtail and gauge of wire must conform to local codes and with instructions on the following pages. Do not modify the plug and internal wire provided with the appliance. The appliance should be connected to a 4-hole outlet. If the plug does not fit the outlet, a proper outlet will need to be installed by a qualified electrician. Connect the power cord to the terminal block. Each colored wire should be connected to the same color screw. Wire color indicated on manual is connected to the same color screw in the block. Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for: (1) new branch-circuit installations and (2) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor. This appliance is supplied with the neutral wire grounded. This white ground wire MUST BE MOVED to the neutral terminal when a 4-wire cord is to be used, or where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited. **Use a 30-amp, 240-volt, 4-wire, UL-listed power cord with #10 AWG minimum copper conductor and closed loop or forked terminals with upturned ends. `Jai.
