2. Access wiring compartment: Remove all screws from the bottom panel of the heater to access the internal wiring.
3. Run wiring: Route the electrical wiring through a designated cut-out on the side of the heater.
4. Connect to power block: Connect the black (hot or live) wire to L1, the white (hot or live) wire to L2, and the green or bare copper (grounding) wire to the ground terminal, as instructed by the wiring diagram.
5. Secure connections: Torque all terminal screws and power block lugs tight with the required torque (40 in-lbs).
6. Close compartment: Install the bottom panel back and tighten it with screws.
7. Restore power: Turn on power at the main circuit breaker panel. The heater is now ready for use.
