SAFETY

Read carefully. Use the heater only as described in
these instructions. Any other use is not recommended
and could result in fire, electric shock and personal

injury. Following these instructions will prevent injuries

that might occur during the installation and use of the

heater. Save these instructions for future use.

WARNING! Never leave heater unattended
while connected to a power source.

Fire or explosion may occur! During normal
operation the heater has hot components
and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not
use it in areas where gasoline, paint or other
flammable liquids are used or stored.

Risk of fire – To prevent a possible fire, do not
block the intakes or exhaust in any manner.
Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed where
openings may become blocked. Keep clear
of all obstructions. Maintain a 3' minimum

SAFETY CONTINUED

Risk of fire – Do not use heater with extension
cord. Plug the heater directly into a
208-240VAC receptacle.

Overheating or fire may occur. Do not place
heater behind a door.

Burn hazard – The heater is hot when in use.
To avoid burns, do not touch the case, grill or
interior parts of the heater when in use. Use
handle when moving the heater. Allow heater
to cool down before touching it.

Risk of electric shock or injury – Do not run
the power cord under carpeting, throw rugs,
runners or other similar coverings. Do not route
the cord under furniture or appliances. Keep
the cord away from a traffic area so it will not
cause a tripping hazard. Do not operate the
heater with a damaged cord or plug, after the
heater malfunctions or if it has been dropped
or damaged in any manner. Discard heater
immediately. Do not try to repair.

Risk of electrical shock – Connect the heater
to a properly grounded outlet only. Do not
insert or allow foreign objects to enter the
intake or exhaust opening of the heater, as
this may cause an electric shock or fire and
damage the heater. Unplug the heater before
performing any maintenance or when not in
use. To disconnect heater, turn thermostat
control to low, then remove plug from outlet.

CAUTION! Risk of electric shock. Do not open
heater case when plugged into an electrical
outlet.

WARNING! Prior to operating, make sure the
electrical outlet is of the configuration and
capacity appropriate for the heater.

Do not use outdoors.

Do not use heater in wet or moist locations.

Always locate heater on a stable and level
surface.

Do not place the heater against cardboard or
low-density fiberboard surfaces.

Avoid using an extension cord because the
extension cord may overheat and cause a
risk of fire.

Use only the electrical power (voltage and
frequency) specified on the model plate of
the heater.

Use a three-prong, grounded outlet only.

Always unplug the heater when not in use.

Never suspend or hang any objects from a
mounted heater.

MOUNTING TO WALL OR CEILING

1. Locate wood stud in wall or joist in ceiling.

2. Use holes in bracket to mark three holes for drilling.

3. Pre-drill three holes for screws. Be sure holes are
drilled into the wood stud in wall or joist in ceiling.

4. Secure two 66 mm screws to wall leaving 1/8" exposed.
Two screws must be attached to a wood stud (min. 1.5").
(See Figure 3)

OPERATION

1. Position the fan heater so that it stands upright on a
firm, level surface (when used as portable) and at
a safe distance from wet locations and flammable
objects.

2. Connect the fan heater to proper electrical power.
See Figure 6 for grounding instructions.

3. Set the thermostat dial to the maximum temperature.

4. Once the room reaches the desired temperature,
turn the thermostat dial back until heating element
turns off. The heater will cycle automatically
around this preset temperature. To increase
temperature, turn the thermostat knob clockwise.
To lower temperature, turn the thermostat knob
counterclockwise.

5. Low setting on thermostat does not prevent heater
from turning on. Turn power switch off or unplug
from wall to prevent heater from turning on. Before
unplugging heater, turn power switch to off position.

NOTE: When using the heater for the first time,
you may notice a slight emission of smoke. This
is normal and it stops after a short time. The
heating element is made of steel and was
coated with a layer of protective oil during
production. The smoke is caused by the
leftover oil as it is heated.

NOTE: This heater has a built-in fan delay
designed to exhaust heat from the unit until
the elements are cool (cool down cycle). This
improves energy efficiency. The fan may cycle
on/off for a few minutes after the thermostat is
set to the low position or power switch is set to
off. This is normal and required to cool down
heater and to prevent the safety limit from
tripping.

HOW TO RESET THE HEATER

NOTE: This heater is equipped with an internal
safety limiting thermostat and overheat
protection circuit.

1. If Safety Limit light illuminates, an abnormal
condition has turned off the heating elements. To
reset, wait ten minutes to allow the heater to cool
down, then insert a small screwdriver tip into the hole
on the front of the heater marked "Limit Reset" and
push firmly until you hear a click.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This heater can only be used with 240 or 208 volt outlet.
The cord has a plug as shown in Figure 6 below.

Figure 6

Plug Type

NOTE: No adapter is available for this blade
configuration, and none should be used.
When properly installed, it provides a ground
connection through the cord to the heater to
protect the operator from electric shock.

NOTE: Be sure that the electrical receptacle is
of the configuration and capacity appropriate
for the heater.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
