Go check the breaker in the panel; is it a double-pole (240 V)? If so, you're in business, and all you have to do is connect the black to 'A', white to 'B', ground-to-ground-to-ground, cap 'C', and you're good to go.

This is all correct, the only thing to add is if you want it to run at 1500W, then you put A to L1, B and C to L2, all the grounds together. 1500W at 240V is still only 6.25 amps so if you have a 240V 20A breaker (2 handles tied together which you need for this install either way) you'll be fine.
