Models 3UG73E and 3UG74E

Operation Instructions

1. Heater must be properly installed before operation.

2. After heater is completely assembled, rotate thermostat knob counter clockwise until control stops. This is the minimum heat setting.

3. Turn power supply to heater “ON” at main service panel.

4. Heater should not operate. If it operates disconnect power and recheck wiring.

5. Rotate thermostat clockwise until it stops (maximum heat setting).

6. Heater should turn on after a brief delay (see “Automatic Fan Delay”). If heater and fan do not come on, disconnect power and check wiring.

NOTE: The first time you operate the unit, it may smoke slightly. This is due to the residual cleaning agents used to clean the element when the heater is manufactured. This is normal and does not indicate a problem with the unit. This condition will stop after the heater has been in operation for a few minutes.

7. Allow heater to continue to operate until room temperature reaches desired comfort level. Then rotate thermostat knob counterclockwise slowly until thermostat clicks off. (Note that the fan delay will keep the fan running until the elements cool.) Heater will cycle on and off to maintain room temperature.

8. It may be necessary to readjust thermostat until exact comfort level is attained. Rotation in the clockwise direction will increase the amount of time the heater will produce heat. Rotation in the counterclockwise direction will reduce the amount of time the heater is on.

AUTOMATIC FAN DELAY

The heaters have an automatic fan delay. When the thermostat calls for heat, fan action is delayed momentarily until the heating element warms. This prevents the circulation of cold air. When the heater raises the temperature of the room to the thermostat set point, the heating element is turned off but the fan will continue to run until the heating element cools down. This prevents exposing the unit to residual heat, provides a higher comfort level and prolonged element life.

THERMAL SAFETY LIMIT

The heaters are equipped with a thermal cutout which will automatically shut off the heater in the event of overheating. The heater will turn on when the abnormal temperature returns to normal. Should the unit overheat and cause the thermal limit to cycle, a red alarm light will illuminate to alert

the user that the heater is off and the cause of the overheating should be determined and corrective action should be taken before further operation.

Protective Grill

Fan and Motor

Figure 11

NOTE: If the unit is installed in an area

where the temperature is below 50°F, the fan may cycle on and off until the temperature in the room rises above 50°F, this is normal and does not indicate a problem with the unit. As soon as the heater warms the air in the room above 50°F, the unit will operate normally.

ADJUSTING AIRFLOW DIRECTION

1. Turning the Unit – If the unit has been installed with a single lag bolt, as shown in Figure 4a, simply turn the entire unit as needed to adjust airflow.

2. Tilting the unit – Loosen the bracket screws, tilt the heater to the desired position, and retighten the bracket screws (see Figure 5).

NOTE: To tilt the heater it must be mounted in bottom keyhole slots of mounting brackets to maintain adequate clearance and prevent possible overheating.
