This heater is for use on 120 Volts. The heater has a 3-prong grounded plug (Figure 2.A). If your electrical outlet
has only 2 slots (Figure 2.B), you will have to use an adapter (Figure 2.C) to convert from the 3-prong power cord
to a 2-slot receptacle. The green grounding plug extending from the adapter must be securely connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should only be used if a proper 3-slot
receptacle is not available.
NOTE: Adapters are not allowed for use in Canada.
