WARNING:
Connection of this 265 V AC product to a branch circuit
MUST be done by direct connection in accordance with
the National Electrical Code. Plugging this unit into a
building mounted exposed receptacle is not permitted
by code.
These models must be installed using the appropriate
GE power supply kit for the branch circuit amperage
and the electrical resistance heater wattage desired.
Use the POWER CONNECTION CHART on page 17
to determine the correct kit required. One of the
following installation methods (A or B) must be used.
CUT AND STRIP THE CORDSET
1 Remove the cordset from the power supply kit.
Measure 6″ down the cord from where it emerges
from the back of the nylon plastic connector
and cut the cord through at this point.
2 Carefully remove 3″ of the cordset insulation
so as to expose the three insulated wires.
3 Strip 3/4″ of the insulation away at the end
of each of the three wires (L1, Neutral and
Ground). Plug the connector fully into place
in the unit mating connector. Be sure the
