OPERATION
MAINTENANCE
1. Position the fan heater so that it stands upright on a
firm, level surface (when used as portable) and at
a safe distance from wet locations and flammable
objects.
2. Connect the fan heater to proper electrical power.
See Figure 6 for grounding instructions.
3. Set the thermostat dial to the maximum temperature.
4. Once the room reaches the desired temperature,
turn the thermostat dial back until heating element
turns off. The heater will cycle automatically
around this preset temperature. To increase
temperature, turn the thermostat knob clockwise.
To lower temperature, turn the thermostat knob
counterclockwise.
5. Low setting on thermostat does not prevent heater
from turning on. Turn power switch off or unplug
from wall to prevent heater from turning on. Before
unplugging heater, turn power switch to off position.
NOTE: When using the heater for the first time,
you may notice a slight emission of smoke. This
is normal and it stops after a short time. The
heating element is made of steel and was
coated with a layer of protective oil during
production. The smoke is caused by the
leftover oil as it is heated.
NOTE: This heater has a built-in fan delay
designed to exhaust heat from the unit until
the elements are cool (cool down cycle). This
improves energy efficiency. The fan may cycle
on/off for a few minutes after the thermostat is
set to the low position or power switch is set to
off. This is normal and required to cool down
heater and to prevent the safety limit from
tripping.
HOW TO RESET THE HEATER
NOTE: This heater is equipped with an internal
safety limiting thermostat and overheat
protection circuit.
1. If Safety Limit light illuminates, an abnormal
condition has turned off the heating elements. To
reset, wait ten minutes to allow the heater to cool
down, then insert a small screwdriver tip into the hole
on the front of the heater marked "Limit Reset" and
push firmly until you hear a click.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This heater can only be used with 240 or 208 volt outlet.
The cord has a plug as shown in Figure 6 below.
NOTE: No adapter is available for this blade
configuration, and none should be used.
When properly installed, it provides a ground
connection through the cord to the heater to
protect the operator from electric shock.
NOTE: Be sure that the electrical receptacle is
of the configuration and capacity appropriate
for the heater.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Before cleaning the heater, disconnect it from the
power outlet and let it cool down.
• In order to protect the enclosure, do not splash
water onto the heater, and never use a solvent like
gasoline, isoamyl acetate, toluene, etc. to clean the
heater.
• The enclosure gets dirty easily. Wipe it with a soft
sponge. For very dirty parts, wipe with a sponge
dipped in warm water and mild detergent, then dry
the heater enclosure with a clean cloth. Be careful
not to let water enter the inside of the heater.
