My heater doesn't say it on the labeling either, but it sure does in the instructions. And "wider neutral" suggests NEMA 1-15; so the instructions absolutely apply there. But you do you; we're just here to help you be safe. | |

N. | No electric heater bears any warning as to letting it run unattended, or any warning about using extension cords like air conditioners do (they have a large inrush current + high continuous power requirement). If yours does, then it must be country-specific. BB heaters can't be used in my configuration (bathroom light circuit is the same as the kitchen's ovens + not enough wall width). | |
