INSTRUCTIONS
AND SAFETY
INFORMATION
IMPORTANT!
It is extremely
important you verify
that the electrical
supply wires are
the same voltage
as the heater
(i.e. 120 volt heater
to 120 volt power
supply and 240 volt
heater to 240 volt
power supply).
If replacing an
existing heater,
check the labels of
the old heater and
replace using the
same voltage.
Hooking a 240 volt
heater to a 120 volt
power supply will
drastically reduce
the heater's output.
Hooking a 120 volt
heater to a 240 volt
power supply will
destroy the heater.
Connecting your
heater to an
incompatible power
supply will void
the warranty.
