Safety Information (continued)
Electrical Connection
A 15-Amp, 120-Volt, 60 Hz circuit with a properly grounded outlet is required. Preferably, the item will be on a dedicated
circuit as other appliances on the same circuit may cause the circuit breaker to trip or the fuse to blow when the heater is
in operation. The unit comes standard with a 6 ft. (1.8 m) long three wire cord, exiting the right side of the item. Plan the
installation to avoid the use of an extension cord. Extension cords are for temporary use only. If an extension cord must be
used, it must be UL/CSA certified, rated at 15A (1,875W), 125V maximum with 14 AWG minimum and constructed of two
current carrying conductors with ground. A heavy duty extension cord with the shortest length possible for the connection
is recommended and must not be longer than 50 ft. (15.2 m).
Do not coil or cover the extension cord.
Electrical outlet wiring must comply with local building codes and other
applicable regulations to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and injury
to persons.
Do not use this item if any part of it has been under water. Immediately
call a qualified service technician to inspect the item and replace any part
of the electrical system which has been under water.
Grounding Instructions
This heater is for use on 120 volts. The cord has a plug as shown at (A) in Figure 1. An adapter as shown at (C) is avail-
able for connecting three-blade grounding-type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding lug extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used
if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.
