Caution

Warnings:
(This symbol identifies particularly important safety warnings that must be followed. Failure to do
so could cause overheating and result in serious fire hazard or electrical shock).

Failure to handle, improper installation, use, and/or maintenance of electrical heating cable may result in
ice dam formation or injury or death from electric shock or fire.

Do not allow any part of a cable to pass through the inside of any area of a building, including an attic, an
exhaust vent, or a chimney. Also, no part of the heat-traced downspout may pass through a building.

Keep the cable at least 30cm (12in) away from any extra sources of heat.

Never alter this heating cable in any way. If made shorter, it will overheat. Once cut, the heating cable
cannot be repaired.

Avoid pulling the heating cable jerking or installing against sharp edges. Don't kink or crush the cable,
including walking on it or running over it with equipment.

Never allow heating cable to touch, cross, or overlap itself at any point.

Do not cover or insulate any part of the cable.

The bending radius should larger than 12mm (0.5in). Do not bend the heating cable in along the flat plane.
Sharper bends than 12mm (0.5in) can damage the heating element.

Do not paint or expose the cable to chemicals such as glue, caulk, or adhesive.

Do not operate the cable when outdoor temperatures begin to remain above 10°C (50°F).

Make sure there is a properly grounded electrical receptacle close enough to plug in the cable. If an
extension cord is necessary, use only a properly sized, grounded, CSA/UL Certified cord suitable for
outdoor service in accordance with local codes and per the local authority having jurisdiction.

Heating cables must be installed in compliance with the National Electric Code and Canadian Electrical
Code. Ground fault protection (GFCI) of power supply circuit is required.

Approvals are based on the use of Manufacturer's specified parts only. Any substitute parts or vinyl
electrical tapes are not allowed.

Do not connect power to heating cable while it is coiled.

Disconnect the roof and gutter heating cable from its power source during installation.

While energizing the heating system circuit, regardless of the normal operation, installation period or
maintenance, always keep the heating section of the heating cable system away from combustible surfaces
at least 2.5cm (1in) interval.

You may need a professional to install the heating cable on the roof if you are uncertain about the
electrical requirements or there are some special considerations for specific roof materials.

This product may be installed when there is no ice or snow on the roof and in the gutter.

If separate areas are being treated, it may be more practical to use separate cables.

Do not install the roof and gutter de-icing heating cable system when the ambient temperature is colder
than the minimum installation temperature -18°C (0°F).

These instructions must be saved and made available to the owner and transferred to future owners.
