Grounding Instructions:
This heater is for use on 240 (208) volt circuits. The
cord has a plug as shown below. No adapter is
available for this blade configuration, and none should
be used. The outlet type is a 240 (208) volt 30 Amp
grounded outlet. When properly installed, it provides
a ground connection through the cord to the heater to
prevent the operator from electric shock.
WARNING: Prior to operation, be sure that the
electrical receptacle is of the configuration and
capacity appropriate for the heater.
Note: When using the heater for the first time, you may
notice a slight emission of smoke. This is normal and will
stop after a short time. The heating element is made of
steel and was coated with a layer of protective oil during
production. Usage on outlets above 220 volts may cause
a slight whistling sound due to the higher fan speed. This
is normal and is not affecting the operation of the heater.
This is not a defect.
WARNING: Electrical outlet wiring must comply
with local building codes and other applicable
regulations to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock
and injury.

of it has been underwater. Immediately call a qualified
service technician to inspect the appliance and replace
any part of the electrical system which has been under
water.

the heater will automatically reset once the heating
element cools down.
