C. Wiring
• 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.
• The heater is wired from the factory with a polarized plug.
No provisions have been made for hardwiring.
• 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.
• Run the cord out the notch of the front face.
• Before plugging the heater into the wall outlet, make sure
the control switch is in the “OFF” position.
• If the cord does not reach the outlet, a No. 16-AWG
minimum wire size extension cord rated for a minimum
of 1875 watts may be used. Use minimum length and do
not coil cord.
• If installing inside a pre-existing fi replace and if permitted
by local codes, an electrician may install an outlet box
inside the existing fi replace. Place the outlet in the lower
back of the fi rebox.
All wiring must be done by a qualifi ed electrician.
Use appropriate wire to meet local and national
codes for rated power consumption.
Shock Risk
Improperly grounded outlets could cause
electrical shock.
•
Always use properly grounded, fused and
polarized outlets.
• Always used ground fault protection where
required by electrical code.
WARNING
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
