Re-Routing the Power Cord to the Left or Rear of the Heater (Continued)

5A Pry the button plug from the left side of the ashlip control housing using a screwdriver (see the

illustration below).  Insert it in the hole on the right side where the strain relief was removed.
Insert the power cord through the hole on the left side.  Route the power cord through the notch
in the ashlip control housing partition and re-connect the power cord by connecting the molex
plugs (see the illustration on the previous page).  Place the strain relief over the power cord next
to the ashlip control housing.  Compress the strain relief by clamping it with a pair of slip nose
pliers.  Then insert it into the ashlip control housing until it locks into place.

5B Included in the accessory pack are three cord mounts and a button plug.  Insert the button plug in

the hole on the right where the strain relief was removed.  Insert the power cord through the hole
on the bottom of the ashlip control housing.  Route the power cord through the notch in the
ashlip control housing partition and re-connect the power cord by connecting the molex plugs
(see the illustration on the previous page).  Place the strain relief over the power cord next to the
ashlip control housing.  Compress the strain relief by clamping it with a pair of slip nose pliers.
Then insert it into the ashlip control housing until it locks into place.  The cord is hidden under
the heater with the use of cord mounts inserted into the baseplate of the heater.  Insert the three
cord mounts into the base of the heater (see the illustration below for details).  Then insert the
power cord into each cord mount until it latches in place.  After installation, pull the slack out of
the power cord.
