WARNING
To prevent a possible fire, injury to persons or damage to the heater,
adhere to the following:
1. Disconnect all power coming to heater at main service panel
before wiring or servicing.
2. All wiring procedures and connections must be in accordance
with the National and Local Codes having jurisdiction and the
heater must be grounded.
3. Verify the power supply voltage coming to heater matches the
ratings as shown on the heater nameplate.
CAUTION:
ENERGIZING HEATER AT A VOLTAGE GREATER THAN
THE VOLTAGE PRINTED ON THE NAMEPLATE WILL DAMAGE
THE HEATER AND VOID THE WARRANTY AND COULD CAUSE
A FIRE.
4. CAUTION: High temperature, risk of fire, keep electrical cords,
drapery, furnishings, and other combustibles at least 3 feet (0.9
m) from front of heater. Do not install heater behind doors, below
towel racks, or in an area where it is subject to being blocked by
furniture, curtains or storage materials. Hot air from the heater
may damage certain fabrics and plastics.
5. To reduce the risk of fire do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the heater.
6. When heater is to be wall or ceiling mounted, the anchoring
provision must be sufficient strength to support the total weight
of the heater plus the weight of the mounting provisions. Failure
to properly secure the supporting members of the building
structure could allow the heater to fall.
7. The following minimum clearances must be mained:
30° Tilted, Bottom of Heater to Floor:
6’ (1.8 M) minimum, 11’ (3.3 M) recommended maximum
Horizontal Airflow, Bottom of Heater to Floor:
6’ (1.8 M) minimum, 8’ (2.4 M) recommended maximum
Side of heater to adjacent wall: 6” (13 mm)
8. Do not use this heater for dry out as paint, plaster, sawdust
and drywall sanding dust will permanently damage the heater
and must be kept out of the heater.
INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Locating the Heater
The heater should be installed out of traffic areas and at least 6'
off the floor. The direction of air flow should not be restricted (ie:
by columns or machinery) and the air flow should wipe exposed
walls, rather than blowing directly at them. When more than one
heater is used in an area, the heaters should be arranged so
that the air discharge of each heater supports the air flow of the
others to provide best circulation of warm air, as indicated in
Figure 3, below.
