CAUTION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read all instructions before using this heater.
1. Make certain that the power source conforms to the electrical
requirements of the heater. Disconnect power before installing
or servicing. If the power disconnect is out-of-sight, lock it in
the open position and tag it to prevent unexpected application
of power. Failure to do so could result in fatal electric shock.
WARNING: DO NOT DEPEND UPON A THERMOSTAT
OR OTHER SWITCH AS THE SOLE MEANS OF
DISCONNECTING POWER WHEN INSTALLING OR
SERVICING THE HEATER. ALWAYS DISCONNECT
BREAKER AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. FAILURE TO DO SO
COULD RESULT IN FATAL ELECTRIC SHOCK
2. This heater is intended ONLY for permanent installation
in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC), all
applicable local codes and ordinances, and all sections of
this manual. Any variance voids the warranty and may create
unsafe conditions. All wiring should be done by a qualified
electrician, using copper wire only.
3. Special attention must be given to any bonding (grounding)
information pertaining to this heater.
To prevent the risk of
electrocution, the heater must be securely and adequately
bonded.
T
his should be accomplished by connecting a conductor
between the service panel and the green grounding screw provided
on the heater.
To ensure a proper bond, the bonding means
must be tested by a qualified electrician.
4. Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the heater. Do not
block or tamper with the heater while it is in operation. Do not
touch heater while it is in operation or just after it has been
turned off, as some parts may be hot enough to cause injury.
5. This heater is intended for general heating applications ONLY.
It must NOT be used in potentially dangerous locations such
as flammable, explosive or chemical-laden atmospheres.
6. Do not attach ductwork to this heater or attempt to use it as
a make-up air heater. Such use voids the warranty and may
create unsafe conditions.
7. In cases where property damage may result from malfunction
of the heater, a back-up system or a temperature alarm should
be used.
8. CAUTION: Check branch voltage. Heaters should be operated
at voltages no higher than the heating elements and the heater
are designed for. (Lower voltages, however, pose no problem
other than a loss of wattage).
9. Heaters are not intended for process heating applications.
