To avoid burns, do not let bare skin
touch hot surfaces. The trim around
the heater outlet becomes hot
during heater operation.

DANGER:

High temperatures
may be generated under certain
abnormal conditions. Do not
partially of fully cover the front of

Installation

WARNING: Ensure the power

cord is not installed so that it is
pinched or against a sharp edge
and ensure that the power cord is
stored or secured to avoid tripping
or snagging to reduce the risk
of re, electric shock or injury to
persons.

WARNING: Construction
and electrical outlet wiring must
comply with local building codes
and other applicable regulations
to reduce the risk of re, electric
shock and injury to persons.

WARNING: Do not attempt

to wire your own new outlets or

circuits. To reduce the risk of re,
electric shock or injury to persons,
always use a licensed electrician.

WARNING: To reduce the risk
of re, do not store or use gaso­line or other ammable vapors or
liquids in the vicinity of the heater.

!

NOTE: A 15 Amp, 120 Volt cir-

cuit 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.
