Site Selection and Preparation

!NOTE: 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 the 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.

CAUTION: When the heater is in use, this product draws a high, continuous electrical current. Not all electric receptacles are designed to work with high, continuous currents. If you plan on using this unit in an old, worn, or loose receptacle, or are unsure if the receptacle is suitable, please have it inspected by a qualified electrician prior to using this product.

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.
