Volt™ 6
Electric Fan Heater
Owner’s Manual • Volt™ 6

Volt electric heaters are designed for professional
use.
The heat is generated in sealed heating elements
inside the inner barrel of the heater. Heated air is then
dis-tributed by an electric motor driven fan blowing air
through the heater.
Although effectively cooled by the fan, the heating
elements have high surface temperatures. That is
why combustible materials must be kept at a safe
distance from the heater and care must be taken that
no combustible particles enter the heater with the air
sucked in by the fan.
General Information
Operation Instructions
Keep the heater clean of dust at any time. Dust may
cause fire when heated. Make sure that the fan
blades can rotate unobstructed at all times. Do not
block air intakes or exhaust in any manner.
Contact your local L. B. White distributor or the
L.B. White Co., LLC for assistance, or if you have
any questions about the use of the heater or its
application.
The L.B. White Co., LLC has a policy of continuous
product improvement. It reserves the right to change
specifications and design without notice.
