DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD
READ ALL WIRE SIZING, VOLTAGE REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
DATA TO AVOID PROPERTY DAMAGE AND PERSONAL INJURY
WARNING
It is extremely important to verify the electrical power supply is the same voltage as the heater being installed. 240 and
120 Volt heaters are not interchangeable. Powering a 208/240/277 Volt unit with 120 Volt supply wires will reduce heater
output by approximately 75%. Powering a 120 Volt unit with 208/240/277 Volt supply wires will destroy the heater and voids
all guarantees and warranties.
DO NOT INSTALL
VERTICALLY
CAUTION: Keep electrical cords, drapery, furnishings and other combustibles at least 3 feet (.9m) from front of the heater
and away from side and rear. Do not block the heater in any manner. To insure proper operation of this heater it should be a
minimum of 4 inches above the fl oor (zero clearance to fl oor for SL Slimline series only) and no closer than 6 inches to the
open edge of a door and/or adjacent wall. Never paint the heater grill.
WARNINGS: Turn off the power source supplying the heater before attempting any installation, maintenance or repairs.
Lock or tag circuit breaker/fuse panel door. Failure to do so could result in serious electrical shock, burns or possible death.
MAINTENANCE & WARRANTY
The superior quality and design of this heater will provide years of trouble-free performance. Each year the heater should be checked and cleaned for lint and/or dust accumulation. King
recommends using a soft bristle brush and vacuum to knock off contaminates. The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no oiling.
PAW Wall Heaters and SL Slim Line Wall Heaters carry a fi ve (5) year warranty on the elements and a two (2) year warranty on components from date of installation. The DEC Wall
Heater carries a ten (10) year warranty on the motor and element from date of installation. This warranty requires that the owner or his agent install the equipment in accordance with the
National Electrical Code, any other applicable heating or electrical codes, and the manufacturer’s installation instructions. It further requires that reasonable and necessary maintenance be performed on the unit. Failure to properly maintain the unit will result in the warranty being voided. The company is not liable for abuse or misuse of product as may be fi nally
determined by the company. The customer shall be responsible for all costs incurred in the removal or reinstallation of products, including labor costs and shipping costs incurred to
return products to King Manufacturing. King Manufacturing will repair or replace, at our option, at no charge to the customer with return freight paid by King. King Manufacturing shall not
be liable for consequential damages arising with respect to the product, whether based upon negligence, tort, strict liability or contract. No other written or oral warranty applies, nor any
warranties by representatives, dealers, employees of King, or any other person. All returns require a King Return Goods Authorization (RGA); Unauthorized returns will be refused. Do not
return malfunctioning/defective products to store.
Operating voltage cannot exceed 5% of rated voltage. Operating heater above listed voltage ratings voids all guarantees and warranties.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
Following are installation guidelines:
• Disconnect power at main panel.
• Make certain all wiring is in accordance with any/all local codes.
• Ensure units are properly grounded.
• Heater voltage rating should be the same as supply load.
1. Remove two screws on front grille. Remove grille. Loosen mounting screw.
Remove fan heater assembly.
2. Remove a 7/8" knockout. Thread supply wire into wallbox. Use an approved
strain relief bushing to prevent chafi ng of supply wires through the opening in
wallbox.
3. Install wall can a minimum of 6" from vertical sidewalls and 4" above fl oor
(zero clearance to fl oor for SL series). The front edge of wall can must be
½" beyond finished wall.
4. Secure wallbox to the 2x4 studs using the two (2) holes on each side of
wallbox. Secure twist lock to wall stud on opposite side.
5. Select heater wattage (see diagram). King recommends the installer indicate
the selected heater wattage by circling the wattage listed on the nameplate.
To prevent the heater from being rewired to a higher wattage, cut the push on ¼" female terminal off the disconnected wire (orange, blue or yellow).
Tape all exposed wires. By disabling the heater in this manner there is no
need to size the circuit beyond the actual connected load. (For future fl exibility
to increase wattage, size circuit for the maximum 2250 Watts per heater for
208/240 Volt , 1500 Watts per heater for 120 Volt).
6. Reinstall heater assembly at top of wallbox with mounting screw.
Connect supply and ground wires. (see diagram)
7. Reinstall grille securely with screws provided. For proper air circulation, the
top louver in grille must open into and between wall can and top of heater.
FIELD WIRING – 120/277 VOLT:
1. Connect power supply L1 (white neutral wire) to white heater wire.
2. Connect power supply L2 (black hot lead) to black heater wire.
3. Connect groundwire to green wire on wall can.
FIELD WIRING – 208/240 VOLT:
1. Connect power supply L1 (hot lead) to a black heater wire.
2. Connect power supply L2 (hot lead) to a black heater wire.
3. Connect groundwire to green wire on wall can.
NOTE: The two black leads on the heater can be connected to either hot lead.
There is no polarity. The 208/240 Volt heater does not require a neutral wire from
the power panel.
