TEMPERATURE SAFETY CONTROL

TEMPERATURE SAFETY CONTROL

This heater features an over-temperature safety control that will turn off the heater if 
it overheats. If this control engages, a red warning light, visible through the front of 
the grille, will shine to alert the owner that the heater is shut down and may require 
maintenance. This reset switch for this control is located behind the grille just above 
the red warning light, and can be seen through the front grille when the heater is 
installed. Before resetting, first allow the heater to cool, then using something that 
will fit through the louvers such as a small flathead screwdriver, push the reset button. 
The heater should immediately return to normal operation. If the alarm light remains 
on after the heater has cooled and the manual-reset button has been pressed the 
thermal fuse may have blown. In this situation, the heater must be checked and 
repaired by a qualified electrician.

CAUTION: Do not continue to attempt to use the heater if the safety control 
repeatedly operates after being reset. To do so could permanently damage the heater 
or create a fire or safety hazard.

WARNING

Do not tamper with or 
bypass any safety limits 
inside the heater

SPECIAL NOTE: In addition to the over temperature safety 
control, this heater is provided with a back-up thermal fuse
(one shot) that will permanently shut the heater off if for 
some reason the over-temperature safely control should 
not function as intended. If this thermal fuse activates, 
the heater will cannot be reset and must be repaired by a 
qualified electrician

BASIC UPKEEP

BASIC UPKEEP

It is important to keep this heater clean, just like any heater. Your heater will give you 
years of service and comfort provided you take care of it. To ensure efficient operation 
and a long service life, adhere to the simple instructions that follow:

1. When the heater is cool, use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust and

lint from exterior surfaces, including the grille openings.

2. With a damp (not wet) cloth, wipe dust and lint from grille and other exterior surfaces.

3. Return power to heater and check to see if it is operating properly.

CAUTION: At least annually, the heater should be cleaned and serviced by a qualified service 
person to assure safe and efficient operation. This should include the removal of the grille 
and, as necessary, the heater from the back box to clean dust and residue from the unit. After 
completing the cleaning and servicing, the heater should be fully reassembled and checked for 
proper operation.

All servicing beyond simple 
cleaning that requires disassembly 
should be performed by qualified 
service personnel.

WARNING

Before performing any maintenance or 
service, disconnect all power coming to 
heater at main service panel and check 
that the element is cool. This must be 
done to ensure a reduced risk of fire and 
electric shock or personal injury.
