WHFC Series INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

It is extremely important you verify the electrical power supply is the same voltage as the heater you are installing. 240 and 120
Volt heaters are not interchangeable. Powering a 240 Volt unit with 120 Volt supply wires will reduce the heater output by approximately 75%. Powering a 120 Volt unit with 240 Volt supply wires will destroy the heater and voids all warranties.

Ceiling Installation: King recommends this ceiling heater be installed adjacent to outside walls to direct warm air fl ow toward outside walls. The heater should be operated with a quality wall thermostat – for optimum performance locate thermostat on an inside wall. Heaters should be placed a minimum of 6 feet from the floor and a minimum of 16″ from any adjacent vertical wall surface. Heater may be installed 12″ above doors. Do not install where any combustible items will be within 24″ immediately below the heater.

  1. Connect heater only to the voltage, amperage and frequencyspecified on the nameplate.

  2. Wiring procedures and connections shall be in accordance with all National and local codes having jurisdiction.

  3. Set the bag containing the grille and packet with two (2) grillescrews aside.

  4. Loosen mounting screw and remove fan heater assembly.

  6. Install wallbox a minimum of 16″ from adjacent vertical sidewalls and minimum of 6 feet above floor. The front edge of\ wall can MUST extend 1 /2″ beyond finished wall surface

  7. Secure the ceiling wallbox to 2″ x 4″ frames or adequate
    WHFC – HEATER WIRING DIAGRAM support in the ceiling using the 4 holes provided on each side of the wallbox. The face of the wall can must be ½” from the finished ceiling face
