E. Cord Electrical Connection
WARNING! Electrical wiring must comply with local
building codes and other applicable regulations to
reduce the risk of fi re, electrical shock and injury.
A 15 AMP, 120 Volt, 60 Hz circuit with a properly grounded outlet is required. Preferably the fi replace will be on a
dedicated circuit. Other appliances on the same circuit may cause the circuit breaker to trip or the fuse to blow when the
heater is in operation. The unit comes with a 6 ft. (152.4 mm) long three wire 16 AWG IEC-320 power cord. Plug in the
IEC connector to the rear upper corner of the appliance then connect the cord to the wall socket.
The fi replace power cord has a three pin NEMA-5-15P plug (Figure 1A). An adapter is available for connecting to a two-
slot receptacle (Figure 1C). The green grounding wire extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a three slot grounded receptacle is
available.
F. Wall Switch and Thermostat Connections
WARNING! Do NOT connect the optional low voltage switch and/or thermostat to 120 volt branch circuit.
The Optional Wall Switch 4050-309 contains two single pole switches. (LEVITON 5634 Series or equal)
The Optional Wall Thermostat is a low voltage mechanical type. (Columbus Electric RK120EAA or equal)
Maximum run distance is 30 ft. (9.14 m) with 20 gauge solid copper low voltage thermostat wire. Connect per the elec-
trical wiring diagram on page 7.
