PLANNING
This heater is intended to be used to supply
supplemental heat from a wall location in new or
existing construction.
Choose a location where edge of heater will be
at least 12” from the floor or any adjacent vertical
surface.
The heater can be operated using its built-in thermostat or a remote thermostat (such as the Model
86W Line-Voltage thermostat or an appropriate
low-voltage thermostat and transformer/relay). The
Model 85 Kit is available for surface-mount applications. Purchase these accessories separately.
Plan to supply the heater with proper line voltage
and appropriate power cable.
NOTE: Power can be tapped from a nearby circuit
depending on the heater wattage required and the
amperage rating of the circuit.

HEATER CONVERTED TO HALF-WATTAGE
The heater will produce less heat and use less
electricity if converted to half-wattage. Remove
the black jumper wire from the heating element
and discard wire.
COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION
1. Install housing mask. A housing mask has
been provided to keep construction dust,
drywall spray, paint, etc., from damaging the
heater. Bend the flap on the mask and push it
into the heater housing.
4. Attach security cover to grille (optional). When
heater is installed in a public area without a
separate wall control, it is recommended that:
a) Built-in thermostat be set to desired tem-
perature level.
b) Thermostat knob be removed.
c) Security cover be attached to grille with two
(2) screws, provided.
5. Check operation. Turn on power at service
entrance. Turn thermostat to its highest setting
and make sure heating element and blower
come on. Then turn it to its lowest setting and
make sure element and blower shut off.
NOTE: The fan delay prevents the fan from com-
ing on until the element is hot. Likewise, it keeps
the fan running until the element cools down.
NOTE: Mask can be put into place before or after
heater assembly is reinstalled. Remove mask
before operation.
2. Reinstall heater assembly. Secure heater assembly to housing with four (4) screws. Check
thermal overload button marked “RESET”.
Heater will not operate unless this button is
depressed.
3. Install grille. Place grille over heater and attach
with four (4) screws. Push knob onto thermostat stem.
