SINGLE ELECTRICAL FEED KIT

The Steffes Comfort Plus systems have built-in circuit

breakers. They are factory configured to be field con-

nected to multiple line voltage circuits. If single feed to

the element and blowers/control circuits is desired, the

single feed kit is available to allow the system to be

powered with a one, larger line voltage circuit.

COMFORT PLUS STAND - 4100 SERIES

Some applications (such as garages) may require that the heating appliance be

elevated in order to meet building codes. The Steffes Comfort Plus stand elevates

the 4100 system 18". This stand is shipped as a kit and requires field assembly.
