INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: DO NOT apply power to heater prior to 
proper installation. Disconnect power supply to 
heater before removing the heater.

1.  Attach the heater assembly to the drum by hooking 

the spring over the hook clip at the other heater end 
as pictured below.

2.  Most importantly, make sure that the heater is 

perfectly flat against the side of the drum to avoid 
hot spots that can shorten the life of the heater 

(avoid installing heater over drum ridges).

a.  DO NOT place the drum heater over dents or 

extreme rust spots. 

b.  DO NOT immerse heater in water.

c.  DO NOT operate heater at a voltage higher than 

specified or rated as indicated on the label.

d.  DO NOT expose heater to chemicals, acids, 

alkalis, oils, fluids or other substances that could 

ignite or cause damage to the heater.

e.  DO NOT place any insulated material over the 

heater unless adequate measures are taken to 
control heater temperature. 

f.  DO NOT leave heater operating unattended 

unless an external temperature controller is 
installed to ensure safety.

g.  DO NOT attempt to repair damaged heater. 

Immediately discard damaged or torn heater to 
avoid injury and hazardous conditions. 

3.  Heater must be below the level of liquid in the drum.

4.  To avoid damaging the internal element of the 

heater, do not bend the heater sharply.

5.  It is recommended to open the bung to allow for 

expansion of the contents when heating.

6.  Make sure heater is installed and used by qualified, 

trained professionals. 

THERMOSTAT EQUIPMENT MODELS

1.  Set the thermostat to the minimum temperature 

setting by rotating the knob fully counter clockwise.

2.  Follow the steps below to bring the temperature of 

contents to desired level. 

a.  Rotate the thermostat clockwise a small amount.

b.  Allow contents to stabilize at new temperature.

c.  Repeat steps 1 and 2 until desired temperature is 

reached. 

IMPORTANT! The maximum allowable 
temperature of the silicone rubber drum heater 
is 450° F. 

Certain conditions, such as thermodynamic 

heat transfer involving the thermostat, physical 

condition of the drum, liquid level in the drum 
and the desired temperature of drum contents, 

may cause the heater to exceed its maximum 
temperature. Be careful to avoid damaging 
the heater under such conditions.
