1.
Heater must be properly installed before operation.
2. After heater is completely assembled, rotate
thermostat knob counterclockwise until control stops.
This is the minimum heat setting.
3. Turn power supply to heater "ON" at main switch
panel.
4. Heater should not operate. If it operates, disconnect
power and recheck wiring.
5. Rotate thermostat clockwise until it stops (maximum
heat setting).
6. Heater should turn on after a brief delay (see
Automatic Fan Delay, below). If heater and fan do
not come on, disconnect power and check wiring.
NOTE: The first time you operate the unit, it
may smoke slightly. This is due to the residual
cleaning agents used to clean the element
when the heater is manufactured. This is
normal and does not indicate a problem
with the unit. Smoking will stop once heater
operates for a few minutes.
7. Allow heater to continue to operate until room
reaches desired temperature. Then, slowly rotate
thermostat knob counterclockwise until thermostat
turns off. Heater will cycle on and off to maintain
room temperature.
NOTE: The fan delay will keep the fan running
until the elements cool.
8. It may be necessary to adjust thermostat until exact
comfort level is attained. Rotation in the clockwise
direction will increase the amount of time the heater
will produce heat. Rotation in the counterclockwise
direction will reduce the amount of time the heater
is on.
Automatic Fan Delay: When the thermostat calls
for heat, fan action is delayed momentarily until the
heating elements warm. This prevents the circulation
of cold air. When the heater raises the temperature of
the room to the set temperature, the heating element
is turned off but the fan will continue to run until the
heating element cools down. This prevents exposing
the unit to residual heat, provides a higher comfort level
and prolonged element life.
Automatic Thermal Limit: The heater will automatically
shut off in the the event of overheating. The heater
will turn on when the operating temperature returns
to normal. Should the unit overheat and activate the
thermal limit, the cause of the overheating should be
determined before further operation.

OPERATION
WARNING! Do not tamper with or bypass any
safety limits inside heater.
CAUTION! Do not continue to attempt to use the
heater if the thermal limit repeatedly operates.
Doing so could permanently damage the
heater or create a fire or safety hazard.
NOTE: If the unit is installed in an area where the
temperature is below 50°F, the fan may cycle on
and off until the temperature in the room rises
above 50°F. This is normal and does not indicate
a problem with the unit. As soon as the heater
warms the air in the room above 50°F, the fan
will operate continually until the thermostat has
reached the desired temparature.
ADJUSTING AIR FLOW DIRECTION
1. Turning the unit: If the unit has been installed with a
single lag bolt, simply turn the entire unit as needed
to adjust air flow. (See Figure 8)
2. Tilting the unit: Loosen the bracket screws in the
lower keyhole slot, tilt the heater to the desired
position and re-tighten the bracket screws.
NOTE: To tilt the heater, it must be mounted in
bottom key hole slots of mounting bracket to
maintain adequate clearance and prevent
possible overheating.
3. Adjust the louvers to the desired position.
NOTE: The louvers are designed so they cannot
be completely closed. Do not attempt to
prevent this feature. Damage to the unit can
result.
WARNING! All servicing beyond simple
cleaning that requires disassembly should be
performed by qualified service personnel.
WARNING! To reduce risk of fire and electric
shock or injury, disconnect all power at main
service panel and check that the element
is cool before servicing or performing
maintenance.
