This article helps you if the display of Mysa for Electric Baseboard Heaters does not come on after installation.
Warning: Installing this product involves handling high voltage wiring. To avoid personal injury, or death, turn off your circuit breakers and follow the proper safety precautions before proceeding.
Turn off the power before completing any electrical installation. Use a voltage tester to make sure that the power is off. We strongly recommend a voltage tester. It is the only reliable proof that the power is off. If you are unsure that the power to your heaters is off, stop work and call an electrician.
