Assembly –
Before
you begin
Make sure the elements are plugged in, and the power cords are fully twisted
into position. We also recommend strain relieving the power cords so the full
weight is not pulling down on the element connection. Taking these actions will
certainly extend the life of your power cords.
Before installing parts into quick-connect (QC) ttings, be sure to lubricate
them with water. This will allow them to slide into the QC tting easily and
prevent tearing the o-ring.
Want to mount your control panel on the wall? Attach it to a piece of plywood
and affix it to the wall or use a TV mount with the proper weight capacity.
