Direct connection to branch circuit wiring inside

the provided junction box must be made by connecting as follows in steps 1–3 below.

Connector

FOR 265 VOLT DIRECT CONNECT APPLICATIONS ONLY

IMPORTANT: Connection of a 265V AC product

to a branch circuit MUST be done by direct connection in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Plugging this unit into a building mounted exposed receptacle

is not permitted by code.

These models must be installed using the appropriate GE power supply kit for the branch circuit amperage and the electrical resistance heater wattage desired. See the POWER CONNECTION CHART on page 13

to select the appropriate kit.

It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure

the connection of components is done in accordance with electrical codes.

Direct connection to branch circuit wiring inside
