PLANNING

This heater is designed for installation in an enclosed space such
as under a counter or kickspace to provide warm, gentle heat at
the floor level. Reread Safety Notes 3 through 8 for guidelines in
planning the installation.

The Model 114 is factory wired for 240/208 V.A.C. operation. It offers
a choice of heat outputs and can be internally connected for multiple
wattages at different voltages shown in the table below.

VOLTS WATTS AMPS BTU/HR

240 1500 6.3 5120
208 1125 5.4 3840
120* 1500 12.5 5120
120* 750 6.3 2560

All ratings are 1‑Phase, 60 Hertz.
*See “FIELD CONVERSION TO 120 V.A.C.” section.

INSTALLATION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, do not store or use gaso­line or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
the heater.

CAUTION: High temperature, risk of fire, keep electrical cords,
drapery, furnishings, and other combustibles at least 3 feet (0.9
m) from the front of the heater and away from the side and rear.

SIDE ANGLE

SUPPORT BRACKETS

1. Mark the intended mounting location in the base plate under the
counter or kickspace, and remove required material to provide
for easy insertion and removal of the heater cabinet.

2. The unit will be secured in place with screws through the side
angle support brackets. Provide adequate material behind side
angle support for secure mounting.

THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION

NOTE: The thermostat control circuit must be wired prior to the

wiring of the heater unit.
This heater may be thermostatically controlled by either a line volt‑

age wall‑mounted thermostat (Model 86W), or an optional built‑in
thermostat accessory kit (Model 90). Model 90 thermostat kits are
designed for easy installation with this heater. Instructions for in‑
stalling thermostats are provided below and are also supplied with
each thermostat kit.

OPTIONAL LINE VOLTAGE WALL-MOUNT THERMOSTAT

1. Locate thermostat on an inside wall away from all drafts and
approximately 4‑5 feet above the floor.

2. Route all wiring through the thermostat first and then to the
heater.

OPTIONAL (MODEL 90) UNIT-MOUNT THERMOSTAT

FIELD CONVERSION TO 120 V.A.C.

If a 120 V.A.C. circuit is to be used, make wiring changes as follows:

1. Disconnect white wire from heater element terminal “2” and

connect it to terminal “4.” The heater will now operate at 120
V.A.C., 750W, 6.3A.

2. For 120 V.A.C, 1500W, 12.5A operation, add the short red jumper

wire (provided) between terminals “1” and “2”.

3. Remove alarm light wire leads from terminals “1” and “3” of
the high temperature limit. Remove white wire lead from limit
terminal “1” and reconnect at limit terminal “3”. Secure wire leads
with wire tie so there is no interference with unit operation.

NOTE: Terminal numbers are marked on the side of the blower
housing, above the heater elements.

1. Remove the top cover from the heater.

2. Remove the 5/8” knockout located on the left side of the front
panel (use a screwdriver to remove the knockout). Also remove
the two plastic hole plugs (see illustration).

3. Install thermostat from back side of front panel and fasten in
place, from front, with two screws and washers provided (see
illustrations).

4. Attach temperature control knob by gently pushing it on to the
thermostat shaft. Flats on shaft and knob must line up for proper
installation (do not force control knob onto shaft).

5. Remove black wire from thermal fuse and attach it to thermostat
terminal marked “4”.

6. Remove white wire from temperature limit terminal marked “1”
(Note: the other end of this wire is attached to incoming field
wiring) and attach it to the thermostat terminal marked “1”.

7. Attach black thermostat wire to thermal fuse and white ther‑
mostat wire to the temperature limited marked “3”.

WIRING

Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction codes and standards.

3. Remove one
of the two
knockouts and
connect power
cable to heater
using appropri‑
ate connector.
Allow at least
six inches of
wiring inside of
wiring box.

4. Connect black
to black, white to
white and green
(or bare wire) to
ground screw,
as shown. Tuck
wires down
inside the wiring box.

5. Replace top cover.

WARNING: Do not operate heater without top cover in place.

6. Slide heater into place and secure to mounting surface.

1. Run electrical power cable to installation location. Provide two
feet of slack to allow heater to be pulled out far enough to remove
top cover for cleaning or servicing.

NOTE: It is recommended that flexible conduit be used for field wir‑
ing to the unit to protect the wires from sharp objects or hazardous
environments.

NOTE: Be sure supply voltage meets the equipment requirement.
Refer to the rating plate, unit wiring diagram and specification table.

2. Remove top cover for access to wiring box at rear of heater.

OPERATION

Before using heater, make sure heater has been properly installed
according to installation steps beginning with the “PLANNING”
section on page 1.

1. Turn thermostat counterclockwise to its lowest setting.

2. Turn on power to circuit at service entrance.

3. Turn thermostat clockwise. The heating element and fan should
come on. Set thermostat to desired temperature level. During
proper operation, the heater will cycle on and off periodically.

If heater does not come on:

1. Return the thermostat to lowest setting.

2. Shut off power at service entrance.

3. Remove the top cover. Check for proper line voltage and rein‑
spect wiring connections. Reread installation procedure making
sure all steps were followed.

4. Also check the thermal fuse. It may be open and need to be
replaced. Consult the service parts list for the part number of
a replacement fuse. Follow the procedure described in the last
paragraph of the warranty when ordering replacement parts.
