C. Wiring

Note: This heater must be electrically wired and grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition or the Canadian Electric Code, CSA C2.1 as appropriate.

All wiring must be done by a qualified electrician. Use appropriate wire to meet local and national codes for rated power consumption.

WARNING

Shock Risk

Improperly grounded outlets could cause electrical shock.

Always use properly grounded, fused and polarized outlets.

Always used ground fault protection where required by electrical code.

CAUTION

Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

A dedicated circuit is preferred but not essential in all cases. A dedicated circuit will be required if, after installation, the circuit trips or fuse blows on a regular basis when the heater is operated. Additional appliances on the same circuit may exceed the current rating of the circuit breaker.

The heater is wired from the factory with a polarized plug. No provisions have been made for hardwiring.

For ease of electrical hook up, you may wish to install the heater near an existing outlet. A 15 amp, 120 volt circuit is required.

Run the cord out the notch of the front face.

Before plugging the heater into the wall outlet, make sure the control switch is in the “OFF” position.

￿• If the cord does not reach the outlet, a No. 16-AWG minimum wire size extension cord rated for a minimum of 1875 watts may be used. Use minimum length and do not coil cord.

If installing inside a pre-existing fi replace and if permitted by local codes, an electrician may install an outlet box inside the existing fi replace. Place the outlet in the lower back of the fi rebox.

CAUTION

Disconnect remote controls during your extended absence. This will prevent accidental operation of the heater.
