NOTE TO ELECTRKCBANRThe three power leads
supplied with this appliance are U.L.recognized for
connection to larger gauge household wiring. The
insulation of these three leads is rated at tempera”
tures much higher than the temperature rating of
householdwiring. Thecurrent carrying capacity ofa
conductor is governed by the temperature rating of
the insulation around the wire rather than the wire
