8. Do not use this heater for dry out as the paint, plaster, sawdust and drywall sanding dust will permanently damage the
heater and must be kept out of the heater.
General
Location of Heater
This heater has user controls. It may be desirable to reach
these controls after installation.
The direction of air flow should not be restricted by columns,
machinery, etc., and the air flow should wipe exposed walls
rather than blowing directly at them. When more than one
heater is used in an area, the heaters should be arranged so
that the air discharge of each heater supports the air flow of the
others to provide best circulation of warm air.
Ceiling Mount
This heater may be mounted to any ceiling that will support the
weight of the heater. See Figure 2.
CIRCULAR
HOLE
USE CIRCULAR
HOLES FOR CEILING
MOUNTING. DO NOT
USE KEYHOLES.
Figure 2
1. Remove the mounting stand from the heater, then remove
four rubber grommets from stand.
2. Secure stand to structural members of ceiling with four 1/4”
diameter bolts (not provided). In wood joist use 1-1/2” long
lag bolts. In steel beams use machine bolts secured with
nuts and lockwashers. Never use bolts smaller than 1/4”
diameter.
3. Replace the heater in the stand and tighten knobs to lock in
place. Two large rubberwashers go between heater and
stand, one on either side.
TO PREVENT HEATER FROM POSSIBLY FALLING, DO NOT
USE KEYHOLE SLOTS FOR CEILING MOUNT APPLICATION.

Hardware Needed (See Figure 4)
You also will need the following hardware which you can purchase from your local hardware store or electrical supply house:
• Enough 10 gauge copper wire to run power from the service
box to the heating unit. Copper wire must have a minimum
temperature rating of 60 degrees C. DO NOT USE
ALUMINUM WIRE WITH THIS UNIT.
• Proper wire connectors for your application. (See illustration
that follows.)
Figure 4 - Connectors, cable, and hardware used to wire the MUH35D
For certain applications, conduit may be required. Check local
electrical codes. Also, if you run the wiring in conduit and wish
to be able to turn the heater, be sure to purchase enough flexible
conduit to allow the heater to be turned.
1. Loosen the two screws that secure the wiring compartment
cover to the upper right hand area of the back of the heater
and remove the cover.
2. Attach the cable connector to the cover as shown above and
slide the 10 gauge wire through the cable connector. Pull
enough of the wire through the connector for making the
connections.
3. Connect the field wiring to the heater wiring as shown in
Figure 5 - Wiring Diagram.
4. After connecting the wiring, replace the wiring compartment
cover making sure none of the wires are pinched between
the cover and the heater. Tighten the screws securely.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Heater must be properly installed before operation.
2. To operate the heater, first select either high or low position
on the heat selector switch, then turn the thermostat knob as
far as it will go in the clockwise direction. The indicator light
will come on and remain on as long as the heater is in the
operating mode.
3. When the room temperature reaches the desired level, slowly
turn the thermostat knob counterclockwise until the thermostat clicks. The indicator light will remain on. The heater will
automatically cycle OFF and ON as needed to maintain
desired temperature.
4. To shut heater off, turn thermostat knob as far as it will go in
the counterclockwise direction until the indicator light is off.
5. The fan selector switch allows continuous or cycling fan operation by selecting either the “ON” or “Auto” position, respectively.
6. It may be necessary to readjust thermostat a time or so 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: This heater incorporates an automatic
fan delay. When the thermostat calls for heat, fan action is
delayed momentarily until the heating element is warm. When
the thermostat is satisfied, the fan continues to operate until the
heating element is cool. This action prevents circulation of cold
air, and avoids exposing unit to residual heat, thus providing
higher comfort level and prolonged element life.
NOTE: For best results, the heater should be left “ON” constantly during the heating season as the thermostat, when properly
set, will maintain the desired temperature. In the full counterclockwise position the heater will remain off until the room temperature drops well below freezing.
How To Reset Over -Temperature Safety Control:
DO NOT TAMPER WITH OR BYPASS ANY SAFETY LIMITS
INSIDE HEATER.
Figure 5 - Wiring Diagram
Your heater is equipped with a manual reset safety thermal limit
control that will automatically turn the heater off and sound a
buzzer to prevent a fire if the heater overheats. This control is
located on front of the heater just above the thermostat and is
marked “PUSH TO RESET”. To reset, allow the heater to cool
then simply push the red button in until it snaps. The heater
should immediately return to normal operation.
CAUTION - DO NOT CONTINUE TO ATTEMPT TO USE THE
HEATER IF THE SAFETY CONTROL REPEATEDLY OPERATES AFTER BEING RESET. TO DO SO COULD PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE HEATER OR CREATE A FIRE OR
SAFETY HAZARD.
It is important to keep this heater clean. Your heater will give you
years of service and comfort with only minimum care. To assure
