When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
•
Read all instructions before using this heater. Use this heater only as described in this manual.
Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons
.
•
This machine shall be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The machine is
provided with two three-conductor cords with three-contact grounding type attachment plugs to fit the
proper grounding type receptacles. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the
grounding wire. Never connect this wire to other than the grounding pin of the attachment plug.
•
Connect to properly grounded outlets only. The 120volt power source must be wired and have 15 or 20
amp circuit breaker to safely handle the rated amperage of the unit. Examine the electric outlet before
connecting your E-TES SD. A Loose fitting or damaged outlet can cause the power cord to overheat. Do
not use a loose fitting or damaged outlet. If necessary, have an electrician repair the outlet before
connecting your E-TES SD to prevent cord or outlet
damage.
•
This machine is for use on two separate nominal 120-volt
15 amp circuits and the power cords have grounding plugs
that resembles the plug illustrated in the sketch shown to
the right. Make sure that the machine is connected to an
outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter should be used with this machine.
•
Use no more than one 50 ft. 12 gauge extension cord
(100’ total cord length) per circuit when operating this
heater. Any extension cord used with this heater must be
12 gauge or 10 gauge three-conductor cords with three-contact grounding type attachment plugs to fit the
proper grounding type receptacles.
•
The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupting (GFCI) protected cords supplied with the E-TES SD provide additional
safety when operating the E-TES SD on wet surfaces. Keep cord connections off wet floors. Protect cord
connections from damp surfaces and water sources. Always use the GFCI cords to reduce the risk of electrical
shock. Test operation of GFCI before each use. (See Page 40) Do not use outdoors. Do not use in standing
water.
•
Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do
not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be
tripped over.
•
Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions, has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. Discard damaged cord or heater, or return to authorized service
facility for examination and/or repair.
