Connecting a Plug-In Room Heater - 2100 Series

THIS PROCEDURE MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN.

WARNING

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE: Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death. DO NOT energize the heater until installation is complete. Equipment must be installed by a qualified technician in accordance with applicable local, state, and national codes and regulations.

Risk of fire. Can cause injury or death. Poor or marginal electrical connections will cause the connections to overheat and fail. Use extreme caution when making all electrical connections.

All cord-connected heaters are factory-configured to be plugged into a 120V wall outlet. The circuit outlet the heater is plugged into should be designated solely to the heater for circuit sizing purposes. In some instances it is required for peak control and metering purposes. To determine the correct circuit size, refer to the Field Connection Wire and Circuit Breaker Sizing Guide.

120V cord-connected room heaters must only be used with receptacles that are of the grounding type and suitable of the load of the heater.

The heater’s cord has a plug, as shown. An adapter, shown below, is available for connecting three-blade grounding type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding means extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground, such as properly grounded outlet box. This adapter should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.
