A. 120VAC Wall Outlet Installation

•The heater is The heater is wired from factory with a polarized plug.

•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. 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.

•Before plugging heater into wall outlet, make sure all control switches are in the “OFF” position. To access the controls, lift up on the lower grille panel and rotate it forward.

•If the power cord is not being used, go to Step B below. 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.

B. 120VAC Hardwire Installation

(Minimum 14 gauge two conductor wire, non-metallic sheathing with ground.)

•Turn off circuit breaker.

•Remove access knockout located on the right side of heater.

•Disconnect black and white wires between the heater and plug. Remove the power cord from the cover plate. Remove the electrical knockout and install the cable clamp (not provided) onto hole. Remove the connectors on the wires from the heater and strip them back 1/2 in.

•Feed 8 in. of service wire through cable clamp (not provided) and secure.

•Connect black and white wires of the heater to the black and white wires from the service. Connect green (ground) wire from heater to the ground of the service. See Figure 4.1.

•Wall switch wiring (see below) is to be done at this time.

•Cover access hole with a 4 in. cover plate (not provided) if required.

•Remove the protective cover by cutting the tape located on the outer perimeter.
