WHFC CEILING HEATER
CEILING INSTALLATION:
Heaters should be placed a minimum of 1.8 m (6'), maximum 3 m (10') from the floor and a
minimum of 40 cm (16") from any adjacent vertical wall surface. Heater may be installed 30 cm
(12") above doors. Do not install where any combustible materials will be within 60 cm (24")
immediately below the heater.
Note: It’s recommended that this ceiling heater be installed adjacent to outside walls to
direct warm air flow toward outside walls. The heater should be operated with a quality wall
thermostat, for optimum performance locate thermostat on an inside wall.
1. After removing the heater from the carton, check to make sure the heater has not been damaged in shipment.
2. Remove the grill by loosening and removing the two screws on the front panel.
3. Remove the fan heater assembly by loosening the left mounting screw and removing the right mounting screw.
The assembly will now slide to the right and drop out.
4. Remove one 22 mm (7/8") knockout and thread the supply wire into the ceiling recess box, use an approved strain relief bushing
to prevent schaffing of the supply wires through the opening in the recess box.
5. Secure the ceiling recess box to 5 cm x 10 cm (2" x 4") frames or adequate support in the ceiling using
the 4 holes provided on each side of the recess box.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to allow space for sheet rock or wall board. The face of the ceiling
recess box must exceed of 1.3 cm (1/2") from the finished ceiling face.
6. Replace the fan heater assembly by sliding it under the tab at the back top edge of the ceiling
recess box. Slide the assembly to the left so that the slot engages the left screw head. Replace
the right screw and tighten both assembly mounting screws.
7. Attach the field grounding wire to the green ground screw or green ground wire
in recess box.
8. Connect the supply wires to the leads from the heater.
9. Replace the front grill and secure with the two screws provided.
The installation is now complete, the heater may be energized for use.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
It is extremely important that you verify that the electrical power supply is the same voltage as the heater you are installing.
Powering a 240 Volt unit with 120 Volt supply wires will reduce the heater output by approximately 75%. Powering a 120 Volt unit with
240 Volt supply wires will destroy the heater and void all warranties.
CAUTION:
Turn off power source supplying the heater before attempting installation, maintenance, or repairs. Lock or tag circuit
breaker or fuse panel door. Failure to do so could result in serious electrical shock, burns or possible death.
PROTECTION NOTICE:
This heater includes a manual de-energize high limit thermal protection (Smart Limit Protection®). If the heater shuts
off with the thermostat in the on position and the room temperature is below the highest thermostat setting, immediately disconnect the power to
the heater at the circuit breaker and inspect for any objects on or adjacent to the heater that may cause high temperatures. After inspecting the
heater keep the power off to the heater for 10 minutes to reset the thermal protector. If the heater thermal protector shuts the heater off again,
immediately turn the heater off at the circuit breaker and inspect the heater for possible fan motor failure or dirt and lint on the heating element.
Repeat starting procedure.
MAINTENANCE:
The unit is to be cleaned once a year or as required. In order to do so, simply remove the front grill and clean the element and
fan with an air spray can. Never use cloth, brush or compressor air.
