FEATURES

INSTALLATION

WALL OR CEILING MOUNT APPLICATIONSNOTE: Hardware package is located in styrofoam packaging.

ATTACHING HEATER TO WALL BRACKET

1. Line up hole on bracket with hole on the heater handle. Attach heater to bracket with 20 mm bolt, lock washer, 10 mm washer and 10 mm nut. (See Figures 1-2)

WARNING! Be certain adjustment knobs are tightened firmly to secure heater to bracket.

MOUNTING TO WALL OR CEILING

1. Locate wood stud in wall or joist in ceiling.
2. Use holes in bracket to mark three holes for drilling.
3. Pre-drill three holes for screws. Be sure holes are drilled into the wood stud in wall or joist in ceiling.
4. Secure two 66 mm screws to wall leaving 1/8″ exposed. Two screws must be attached to a wood stud (min. 1.5″). (See Figure 3)
5. Attach bracket to wall by inserting screws through keyholes on bracket and pushing down to lock in place. (See Figure 4).
6. Tighten screws against bracket to secure.
7. Insert the third 66 mm screw with a washer through the middle hole on bracket. Tighten screw against bracket to secure. (See Figure 5)

WARNING! Heater must be attached to a joist with a minimum of two screws in opposing holes.WARNING! Use appropriate fasteners. The screws included are for installing in wood studs only and are not intended for metal joists.

OPERATION

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 HEATERNOTE: 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 INSTRUCTIONSThis 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.
