CAUTION
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
CAUTION
Disconnect remote controls during your extended absence. This will prevent accidental operation of the heater.
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.
