ATTENTION: Before attempting to install your heater verify the power
supply wires are the same voltage as the heater you are installing. 240 and
120 Volt heaters are not interchange-able. Connecting a 240 Volt heater to a
120 Volt circuit will reduce the wattage 75% and cause the motor to rotate
slowly, significantly reducing air flow. Connecting a 120 Volt heater to a 240
Volt circuit will destroy the heater, could cause fire damage and voids all
warranties. This heater should be installed in compliance with all local and
national electrical codes.
WARNING: Turn off power source to the heater before attempting
installation, maintenance, or repairs. Lock, tape or tag circuit breaker or
fuse so that power cannot be turned on by accident. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or death.
