is in place inside the female coupling.
3. Plug the 3-prong cord into a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or a properly-grounded 3-hole
outlet that is protected by a GFCI.
4. The heater is thermostatically controlled and will not turn on unless the ambient temperature
approaches freezing temperatures.
5. It is good practice to drain and unplug the hose when not in use to extend the lifetime of the hose.
6. If water is frozen inside the hose, allow several minutes for the ice to melt after plugging in the
hose and before use.
