Cabinet Installation
The Cabinet must provide access to the wall outlet.
• For ease of electrical hookup, you may wish to install the
heater near an existing outlet. 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 trips or fuse blows on a regular basis
while the heater is operating. Additional heaters on the
same circuit may exceed the current rating of the circuit
breaker.
• If using a wall cabinet or corner cabinet, refer to the
installation instructions supplied with the kit. For custom
cabinets, frame and construct with the opening and depth
dimensions listed in Figures 3.1 and 3.2.
• Before plugging the heater into the wall outlet, make sure
all control switches are in the “OFF” position.
• Before
fi nishing the cabinet, the heater must be set into the
cabinet and the power cord routed to the electrical outlet.
If the power 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.
• To complete the heater installation, refer to Section 5.
Non-Cabinet or Chase Installation
