Operation and Maintenance

How To Operate Your Heater

knob counter clockwise until the heater shuts off. One or
two minor adjustments may be necessary as the heat becomes
better distributed throughout the area.

3. To reduce the room temperature, turn the knob counter clockwise .
To increase the room temperature, turn the knob clockwise .

Continuous Fan Operation

In order to activate the continuous fan feature, set rocker switch
to the “ON” position. The elements will continue to cycle according
to the thermostat setting. For no heat, turn the thermostat knob to
full counterclockwise position . With fan in “AUTO” position, fan
will cycle with the thermostat.

Maintenance, Cleaning, & Storage

The motor is permanently lubricated. This heater does not require
routine maintenance other than the occasional cleaning of the
intake grill opening to prevent clogging.

WARNING WHEN CLEANING HEATER, BE SURE TO
DISCONNECT HEATER CIRCUIT.
To disconnect heater, turn thermostat control knob to full
counterclockwise position, then remove plug from electrical
outlet before cleaning or performing any maintenance. Allow
heater to cool. IMPORTANT: Heater must be unplugged before
performing any maintenance.

To clean air intake grill use vacuum with brush attachment or high
pressure air. If the heater malfunctions or has been damaged, or

if the cord or plug has been damaged, repairs must be made by a
qualified electrician or authorized service facility. Do not operate
until repairs have been made.

For dusting, use a soft cloth. For cleaning, use only a damp rag and
nonabrasive dish detergent. Do not use abrasive or chemical
cleaners as these may damage the finish. If heater is used in a
dusty location, use a vacuum cleaner dust brush to remove dust
and other foreign particles from the grill. Always unplug cord and
wind it around heater handles when not using. Keep heater in a
safe location for storage.

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized
service representative.

When the heater is not in use, unplug and store in a clean, dry
environment. The handle may also be used to wrap the power
cord around for safe storage.

Temperature Limiting Device

All heaters are equipped with thermally actuated auto reset limit
protection which automatically disconnects heating element
and motor in the event normal operating temperatures are
exceeded. If heater should fail to operate with thermostat turned
clockwise to its limit, disconnect heater and wait a few minutes
allowing heater to cool. Operation of the safety thermal limit
control invariably indicates that the heater has been subjected to
abnormal conditions, such as a partial or complete blockage of the
air intake or exit. Be sure to keep these areas clear in order to allow
proper air circulation. It is recommended that the heater be
checked by a qualified electrician or repair service to insure the
heater has not sustained any damage.
