HEATER LOCATION
When choosing a location for your new heater,
ensure that the general instructions are followed.
Also, for best effect, install the heater out of direct
sunlight.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
A 15 AMP, 120 Volt, 60 Hz circuit with a properly
grounded outlet is required. Preferably, the
heater will be on a dedicated circuit as other
appliances on the same circuit may cause the circuit
breaker to trip or the fuse to blow when the heater is
in operation. The unit comes standard with 6 feet
(1.8 m) three wire cord, exiting from the rear of the
heater.
CAUTION:
Do not exceed the current rating of the
current tap.
Always plug heaters directly into a wall
outlet/ receptacle. Never use with an extension cord or
relocatable power tap (outlet/ power strip).
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
Keep electrical cords, drapery, furniture and other
combustibles at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the
heater and away from the sides.
CLEANING TRIM
Clean the trim using a soft cloth, slightly
dampened with citrus oil based product and buff with
a clean soft cloth. DO NOT use brass polish or
household cleaners as these products will damage
the metal trim. Citrus oil based products can be
obtained at supermarkets or hardware stores.
Periodic cleaning/vacuuming of the filter is recommended.
Make sure the unit is turned OFF and unplugged
whenever you are cleaning the heater.
