Carefully examine the carton(s) for damage. If the carton is damaged, 

immediately notify the shipping company.

 Do not delay in filing a 

claim. 

If the air curtain(s) were shipped on wooden skids, remove 

protective wood and banding straps securing the carton(s) to the skid.  

Open the carton(s) and remove all protective packaging. 

Locate the wall mounting hangers (up to four) and the mounting catch 

and hook. 

See Figure 1.

NOTE:

 if the unit was ordered with a decorative rear cover, the air

curtain will arrive with the cover already installed, and the wall

mounting hangers, catch and hook will not be included in the 

shipment.  Contact Berner, if they are required, for no charge.

Immediately verify that the electrical rating nameplate located on the 

cover matches the electrical power supply available. Retain the shipping 

carton(s) until the air curtain(s) are installed and properly operating. 

ACCESSORIES:

 If the air curtain(s) were ordered with optional electrical 

accessories, the accessories will be found in the carton containing the air 

curtain or in a separate carton(s) accompanying the air curtain(s). Check 

all of the cartons/skids for accessories before discarding.

Figure 1 - Uncrating  

A.  Read all instructions before installing or using this air curtain.

B.  Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer and described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the 

 

manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.

C.  Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from 

 

being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, 

 

such as a tag, to the service panel.

D.  Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable national and local codes 

 

having jurisdiction, including fire-rated construction. See page 6, ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (NEC Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70).

E.  When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

F.  To reduce the risk of fire, do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the air curtain.

G.  This air curtain is hot when in use.  To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces.  Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, 

 

pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, etc. and curtains at least 1 inch from the top, back, front, sides and at least 6 feet from the discharge 

 

of the air curtain.

H.  Extreme caution is necessary when any air curtain is used by or near children or invalids, and whenever the heater is left operating 

 unattended.

I.  Do not operate any air curtain after it malfunctions.  Disconnect power at the service panel and have the air curtain inspected by a 

 

reputable electrician before reusing.

J.  To disconnect the air curtain, turn controls to "off", and turn off power to the air curtain circuit at main disconnect panel.

K.  Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or discharge opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or 

 

damage the air curtain. 

L.  To prevent a possible fire, do not block the air intake or discharge of the air curtain in any manner.

M.  The air curtain has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside.  Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable vapors or liquids 

 

are used or stored. 

N.  This heater may include an audible or visual alarm to warn that parts of the heater are getting excessively hot. If the alarm sounds 

 

(or illuminates), immediately turn the heater off and inspect for any objects on or adjacent to the heater that may have blocked the airflow 

 

or otherwise caused high temperatures to have occurred. DO NOT OPERATE THE HEATER WITH THE ALARM SOUNDING (OR ILLUMINATING).
