WARNING:
This heater must be properly installed before it
is used.
WARNING:
Disconnect power and heater has cooled be-
fore attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock or damage to persons.
!
NOTE:
This heater should not be operated with an ac-
cumulation of dust or dirt on or in the unit, as this can cause
a build up of heat and eventual damage. For this reason the
heater must be inspected regularly, depending upon condi-
tions and at least at yearly intervals.
For units with built in thermostats, rotate the thermostat knob
fully clockwise. Heater should activate. When the room reach-
es the desired temperature, slowly rotate the knob counter-
clockwise until unit shuts off. The heater will automatically
cycle around this preset temperature setting.
All units contain a Manual Reset High Temperature Cutout,
which will shut the heater off in the event of abnormally high
operating temperatures. The high temperature cutout can be
reset by switching the main power off and waiting five min
-
utes before switching it to back on. In addition a Red Warn-
ing Light will activate providing a visual warning. If this condi-
tion exists, disconnect all power to the unit and call a licensed
electrician for service. Do not use heater until the problem is
determined and corrected.
ENSURE POWER TO THE UNIT
IS DISCONNECTED PRIOR TO SERVICING OR PERFORM-
ING CLEANING.
Operation and
Maintenance
gases, dusts or liquids are present. Fire or explosion may oc-
cur.
Step 2 – Mounting The Recess Box
Determine the desired orientation of unit. Provide an opening
in wall 14 ¼” x 8 1/8" x 3" (36.2cm x 20.6cm x 7.6cm) deep,
minimum. Care should be taken to install the recess box in the
correct orientation to accommodate grille.
Note the position
of the electrical entry knockouts and orient recess box
according to Figure 1.
Ensure all required clearances are
met.
Ensure recess box flanges are flush with the finished wall
surface
. For new construction, the sides of the recess box
are marked with guidelines to allow for ½” (1.3cm) and 5/8“
(1.6cm) drywall thickness if drywall is to be added at a later
date. Secure recess box to studs with screws using holes pro-
vided on sides or flange of recess box. Remove appropriate
electrical knockout and secure supply wire using an approved
strain relief connector leaving 6” (15.2cm) of wire leads in the
recess box.
Step 3 - Mounting the Heater Assembly
Insert the heater assembly into the recess box ensuring that
the tab on the heater assembly slides into the slot in the re-
cess box. Ensure the heater assembly is fully seated and se-
cure to the recess box using the captive screw provided.
Be careful not to handle the heater where the cutout is located.
Step 4 –Electrical Connections
WARNING:
Hazard of severe shock.
CAUTION:
Disconnect all power coming to heater at main
service panel before wiring or servicing.
Turn off power supply at the electrical panel. Route supply
wires from circuit breaker through wall thermostat to heater.
For models with built in thermostat route from circuit breaker
to heater.
Supply wire must be of
two wire plus ground
variety, with a
rating capable of handling all loads on the circuit. Supply wire
should be rated for a minimum of 140°F (60°C). Make electri-
cal connection according to relevant wiring diagrams. Make
connections using approved wire nut connectors and secure
the grounding wire to the ground screw on the heater chassis.
Step 5 – Secure the Front Panel
If your unit has a built in thermostat remove the plug on the
front panel. Fasten the Front Grille using the screws provided.
It is important to note that the front grille is oriented in the
required positions shown in Figure 1 and on the Multi – Direc-
tional grille. For units with built in thermostat push knob onto
thermostat shaft through plug hole.
