ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
DANGER
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 certied, rated at 15A (1875W), 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.
POLARIZED PLUG
This product is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other blade). To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
