3. Streaking being allowed to
build up on room surfaces.
(+) Black soot and residue is formed by the combustion of hydrocarbons. Existing hydrocarbons in environment pass through heater
element and scorch, exit the heater and deposit on walls and room surfaces. Note: The heater itself does not produce/release any
hydrocarbons.
For more effective and safer operation and to prolong the life of
the heater, read the Owner's Guide and follow the maintenance
instructions. Failure to properly maintain the heater will void any
warranty and may cause the heater to function improperly. War-

it matches required heater voltage.
2. Tighten any loose wire connections.
3. Circuit breaker positioned incorrectly - relocate breaker.
4. Replace limit.
1. Close doors and windows. Provide additional insulation, install a
higher-wattage heater or multiple heaters, if necessary.
