CONNECTING HEATER TO AC POWER
The heater is designed to operate at a specific voltage:
Refer to the lead
wire label or stamp located on the heater for rated voltage and wattage.
Failure to operate the heater at its rated voltage could cause damage to the
heater, surface being heated, or contents.
All electrical connections must be made by qualified personnel and in
accordance with all local codes and regulations.
Two wires (same color)
should be connected to the power source directly, through a junction box, or
to a connector that is mated to a receptacle connected to the power source.
