 NOTE: 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 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.

 CAUTION: 

When the heater is in use, this product 

draws a high, continuous electrical current. Not all 

electric receptacles are designed to work with high, 

continuous currents. If you plan on using this unit in 

an old, worn, or loose receptacle, or are unsure if 

the receptacle is suitable, please have it inspected 

by a qualified electrician prior to using this product.

 

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  

fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

  Construction and electrical outlet wiring must 

comply with local building codes and other 

applicable regulations to reduce the risk of  

fire, electric shock and injury to persons.

circuits. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or 

injury to persons, always use a licensed electrician.
