NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!NEVER LEAVE THE HEATER UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING!
The heater is for use on a nominal 120V circuit, and should be connected
to a grounding outlet that looks like that illustrated in Figure 2a. A temporary
adaptor, which looks like the adaptor illustrated in Figure 2b, may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure 2b if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualied electrician. The
green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adaptor must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box
cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by the metal
screw.
NOTE: IN CANADA, THE USE OF A TEMPORARY ADAPTOR IS NOT PER-
MITTED BY THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE. Ensure that the heater is
connected to an outlet having the same conguration as the plug.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, AC
only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this product on direct
current (DC) through the power cord. A substantial voltage drop will cause
a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the product does not operate
when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a product at a considerable distance from a power source, be
sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, result-
ing in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum
wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by
Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.

When using this product outdoors, use an extension cord that is designed for
outside use. This type of cord is designated with “WA” or “W” on the cord’s
jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut
or worn insulation.
WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position
the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools, or other obstructions
while you are working with this product. Failure to do so can result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING: Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace
immediately. Never use a product with a damaged cord since touching the
damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
