In the U.S., if there are no applicable local codes, this unit should be installed in accordance with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70, Current Issue. (In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the CAN 1- B149.1 and .2 - Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and/or local codes).
The appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a wire that allows the electric current to escape. This appliance has a cord with a ground wire and grounded plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING – Improper grounding can result in risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
