THANK YOU!!
Thank you very much for selecting Fostoria’s portable electric infrared heating equipment for your
comfort heating needs. These products were engineered with the most reliable components and materials
available and are equipped with features to assure ease of installation and maintenance.
The warmth you will now enjoy when using this heating equipment is created by a heat source; a metal-
sheathed element; that emits infrared energy in the form of heat, like the sun. This is an economical way
to heat because it heats people and objects, not the air, so you don’t need to heat a large area to feel
warm.
CHECKING YOUR SHIPMENT
Upon receipt of your shipment, check all cartons for visible damage.
Claims for damaged material or shortages that were not evident upon receipt of shipment must be
reported to carrier and TPI Corporation’s customer service (800-251-0382) immediately.
Any accessory items ordered for the heater will be shipped in separate cartons.

The Fostoria FHK-series is a line of heavy-duty portable
heaters designed to provide electric infrared heat when
permanently installed heaters are not practical or
economical. They are easily transported to the work site
and connected to disconnect switches or lighting centers.
The units are suited to a wide variety of indoor and
protected outdoor commercial or industrial uses. They
operate cleanly, emitting no fumes or odors.
Applications where combustible materials and/or
personnel will be located near these heaters require the
addition of a ground-fault sensing switch as part of the
electrical circuit. See the INSTALLATION PLANNING
section of this manual for more details. Any installation
of these heaters must also adhere to the minimum
