NOTE 1: A 15 Amp, 120
volt circuit is required. A
dedicated circuit is preferred
but not essential in all cases.
A dedicated circuit will be
required if, after installation,
the circuit breaker trips or
fuse blows on a regular basis
when the heater is operating.
Additional appliances on the
same circuit may exceed the
current rating of the circuit
breaker.
WARNINg: Ensure the
power cord is not installed so
that it is pinched or against a
sharp edge and ensure that
the power cord is stored or
secured to avoid tripping or
snagging to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock or injury to
persons.
Construction and electrical
outlet wiring must comply
with local building codes and
other applicable regulations to
reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and injury to persons.
Do not attempt to wire your
own new outlets or circuits. To
reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock or injury to persons,
always use a licensed
electrician.
