WRONG WRONG WRONG.

The frame connects to *ground*. NOT neutral.

follow the instructions. They know better than me.)


Indeed.


Here are the instructions from Jennair:

"The neutral of this unit is grounded to the frame through
the green grounding wire. If used on new branch-circuit
installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, recreational
vehicles, or in an area where local codes prohibit
grounding through the neutral conductor, untwist or
disconnect the green wire and connect the green wire to
ground in accordance with local code. Connect the white
neutral to the service neutral."

Which is very strange as the green wire was just dangling free (other end
bolted to frame) when I opened the package; it was no where near the white
neutral - and obviously never was.
