instruction sheet contains vital information for the proper
installation, use, and efficient operation of the heater.
Carefully read the manual before installation , operation or
cleaning of the heater. Failure to adhere to the instructions
could result in fire, electric shock, death, serious personal
injury, or property damage.
2. It is recommended that drapery be kept a minimum of four
(4”) inches from the top or front of heater.
3. This heater is not intended for residential use.
4. The heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
6. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or
exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a
bed, where openings may become blocked.
7. To reduce the possibility of electric shock, it is recommended the power to the heater be disconnected during wash
down.
8. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation
or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or
fire, or damage the heater.
9. Supply voltage must be the same as heater voltage. Check
heater nameplate and supply voltage before energizing.
10. Supply wiring must be rated minimum 75ºC. Use copper
wire only.
11. Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other
use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK
OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Serious injury or death could result from electric shock.
Make sure electrical power supply circuit coming to heater
are disconnected at main disconnect or service panel
before installing this heater.
2. Wiring procedures and connections must be in accordance
with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes.
Refer to Wiring Diagram on heater and Figure 2. Make sure
all electrical connections are tight to prevent possible overheating. Use Copper Supply Wire Only.
3. Verify the electrical power supply voltage matches the voltage rating as printed on the heater nameplate.
CAUTION - Never connect a heater to a voltage greater than
the nameplate voltage as this will damage the heater and
could cause a fire.
4. Do not install the heater against combustible low-density
cellulose fiberboard surfaces, against or below vinyl wall
coverings, or below any materials that may be damaged by
heat such as vinyl or plastic blinds, curtains, etc.
5. Do not install heater below an electrical convenience receptacle (outlet).
CAUTION
6.
Electrical Cords (including telephone and computer cables),
Drapes, and Other Furnishings Away From Heater. For efficient and safe operation, we recommend maintaining a minimum of 6 inches (152 mm) clearance in front of the heater
at all times. See Clearances Chart for minimum clearance
requirements.
7. To reduce the risk of fire, do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of the
heater.
8. Do not install heater upside down or in any position other
than as shown in this manual.
9. Do not recess heater in wall or install heater inside any type
enclosure as this will cause heater to overheat and could
create a hazard.
10. When mounting heater, use care when drilling mounting
holes and mounting heater to building structure to avoid
damaging internal heater components. Be sure to loosen
mounting screws ½ turn to allow for expansion and contraction.
11. Do not remove or bypass the safety limit control(s) as this
could allow heater to become a fire hazard – see heater
wiring diagram supplied with heater and Figure 2.
12. Do not allow object to be placed on top of heater as they
may be damaged or create a fire hazard.
13. Before energizing, make sure front cover is properly

installed.
14. This heater is not approved for use in hazardous or corrosive environments such as marine, green house, or chemical storage areas.
15. Optional built-in controls are not compatible with the NEMA
4X Series slope top convectors.
– Heater Operates at High Temperatures. Keep
Clearance Information
IMPORTANT NOTE:
heater must have adequate airflow. Therefore, locate heater so
that it is not likely to be blocked or damaged and do not allow
anything to be placed against or near the front of heater. It is
recommended that at least 6 inches (152 mm) clearance be
maintained in front of the heater.
For safe and efficient operation, maintain at least the following
minimum clearances:
Bottom of Heater to Finished Floor:
- May be installed on floor. However, for best performance,
install bottom of heater approximately 3 inches (76 mm) off
floor.
Top of Heater to Bottom of Nearest Drapes or Window Sill
Above Heater:
- Minimum 6 inches (152 mm)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
as vinyl blinds) may become damaged by the heated air from
the heater and should not be installed above the heater.
Front of Heater to Full Length Drapes in Front of Heater:

(64 mm)
- Minimum between top of drapes and ceiling – 1/2 inch
(13 mm)
- Minimum between front of heater and nearest fold of drape –
3 inches (76 mm)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. This heater must be properly installed before it is used.
2. When using an external thermostat, refer to the installation
and operating instructions provided with thermostat.
3. On initial start up and check out, before heater is energized,
rotate thermostat shaft to the full counter-clockwise (lowest
heat) setting. Connect power to the heater and check to verify the heater is not heating. If heating, disconnect and
check wiring.
4. Rotate thermostat shaft to the full clockwise (CW) (max heat)
setting and allow heater to operate for at least 5 minutes and
verify it is heating.
5. Allow heater to operate until room ambient reaches desired
comfort level and then slowly rotate thermostat shaft counterclockwise (CCW) until you hear or feel a click. This will provide a set point to allow the thermostat to cycle the heater on
and off to maintain this approximate temperature. Some
slight adjustments may be necessary to fine tune the heater
to provide the most desired room comfort. To increase time
heater stays on and increase the room temperature, slightly
rotate the thermostat in the CW direction. Likewise, to
reduce the room temperature, slightly rotate the thermostat
in the CCW direction.
