Electrical Connection
A 15 Amp, 120 Volt, 60 Hz circuit with a properly
grounded outlet is required. Preferably, the appliance
will be on a dedicated circuit as other appliances on
the same circuit may cause the circuit breaker to trip
or the fuse to blow when the heater is in operation.
The unit comes standard with a 6’ (1.8m) long three
wire cord, exiting from the rear of the stove. Plan the
installation to avoid the use of an extension cord. If an
extension cord must be used, it must be a minimum
14AWG, three wire with grounding type plug connector
and rated not less than 1875 Watts. The cord shall not
be more than 20’ (6m) in length.
WARNING: Electrical outlet wiring must
comply with local building codes and
other applicable regulations to reduce the
risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to
persons.
WARNING: Do not use this stove if any
part of it has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service tech-
nician to inspect the stove and replace
any part of the electrical system.
