Electrical Connections
The T-K1S requires a 60 Hz 120 VAC electrical
power supply, and it should be properly grounded
in accordance with the most recent edition of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and any
local codes. In Canada, all electrical wiring to the
heater should be installed in accordance with the
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 Part 1, and
any local codes. Do not rely on the gas or water
piping to ground the metal parts of the heater.
CAUTION : Label all wires prior to disconnection
when servicing controls. Wiring error can cause
improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper
operation after servicing.
• A means for switching off the 120 VAC power
supply must be provided.
