W INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION!
Turn OFF all electrical power to install the heater

DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD
Read all wire sizing, voltage requirements, and safety data to avoid property damage and personal injury.
Selecting A Location For Your Heater:
DO NOT install less than 6” (15cm) from vertical side walls or open edge of the door. This heater must have unrestricted airflow. DO NOT select a location where it is likely to be blocked by furniture, curtains, etc. Be sure the location selected allows sufficient space for the heater as shown in Table 1. DO NOT locate this heater in an area where combustible vapors, gases liquids, or excessive lint, dust, or moisture is present.
Minimum Clearances for heater: Table 1

Zero clearance to insulation.
The wire and breaker sizing chart will give a general rule of installation size. Consult an electrician if you are not knowledgeable about wiring codes.
Wire and Breaker Sizing:
Table 2

Total Amps| Minimum AWG. Wire Size (Copper| Circuit Breaker or Fuse Size
---|---|---
0 thru 12| #14| 15 amp
12.1 thru 16| #12| 20 amp
16.1 thru 24| #10| 30 amp

WIRING: Branch Circuit Connection

1. Connect the heater only to the voltage, amperage, and frequency specified 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) grille screws aside.

4. Loosen mounting screw and remove fan heater assembly.

5. A knockout of 1/2 inch conduit size (7/8 inch / 2.2cm) is provided in the back and side of the heater for power to enter. Provide proper strain relief connectors for your wire entering the wall box.
   

6. Install wall box a minimum of 6” from vertical sidewalls and 4” above the floor. The front edge of the wall can extend 1/2” beyond the finished wall surface.

7. Secure the wall box to the 2 x 4 studs using the two (2) holes on the side of the wall box. Secure to a wall stud on the opposite side if required.

8. Connect supply wires, and attach ground feed wire to the green ground wire with wire nuts.

9. Reinstall the heater assembly into the wall box with a screw at top of the interior.

10. Install grille securely with screws provided in the packet. Do not over-tighten.

11. Test the unit by turning the thermostat up past room temperature. You will see a puff of smoke as the elements are energized and the fan turns on. This is a normal burn-off of manufacturing lubricants and will dissipate in 5 minutes.

12. The heater will continue to run until the room temperature you set is reached and then turn itself off until the temperature drops again.

CAUTION – High temperature. Risk of fire, keep electrical cords, drapery, furnishings, and other combustibles at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater as well as away from the side and rear. To reduce the risk of fire, do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the heater.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

W Series Heater
This heater is equipped with a thermal overload Smart Limit Protection which disconnects elements and motor in the event normal operating temperatures are exceeded. If thermal overload trips due to abnormal operating temperatures, thermal overload shall remain open until manually reset by turning the heater OFF for fifteen minutes. Inspect for any objects on or adjacent to the heater that may cause high temperatures. After inspecting the heater, keep the power to the heater off for 10 minutes to reset the SLP thermal protector. If the SLP thermal protector shuts the heater off again, immediately turn the heater OFF at the circuit breaker and inspect the heater for possible fan motor failure or dirt and lint on the heating element. Repeat the starting procedure. DO NOT TAMPER WITH OR REMOVE THIS DEVICE.
General information and Guidelines:
This heater must be properly installed before it is used. DO NOT tamper with or change the operating of this heater. Service Personnel refer to the Maintenance & Warranty
section for service of any type.
Operation:

1. This heater must be properly installed in accordance with the National Electrical Codes (NEC) & local electrical codes before it is used.
2. After the electric heater has been completely installed, all thermostats should be turned to LOW or NO HEAT. Turn ON breakers, wait for 3 to 5 minutes and check to see that the heaters are not operating. If operating, disconnect power and check for improper wiring. If none are operating then turn thermostats to the highest position and wait for 3 to 5 minutes. Check to see that all heaters are operating. Should any not be operating, disconnect power and check the wiring.
3. Allow the entire system to operate steadily for 1/2 hour. This should remove oily residue from manufacturing. (Some smoking may occur).
4. Select the setting for comfort on all thermostats.
5. A safety limit control is provided to turn off the heater automatically if it is blocked or otherwise overheats due to an abnormal condition. DO NOT bypass or remove this safety device from the electrical circuit-see Warning Figure 3 on page 2. During normal use, this safety control should not operate. If you find that this control is operating, make sure the heater is not being blocked. If it continues to cycle the heater off, disconnect power to the heater and have it checked and repaired by a qualified electrician.

Table 3
Troubleshooting Chart for Electric Heaters

2. Overloaded Circuit
3. Improper Voltage| 1. Find the source of the short. Trace the heater circuit and verify the heater is wired properly.
2. Reduce wattage in the circuit. Refer to the circuit sizing table for maximum wattage.
3. Verify the heater voltage matches the supply voltage.
Heater not working| 1. No Power
2. Loose Connections
3. Defective Limit| 1. Turn Breaker ON, turn the thermostat ON, and check that the breaker is positioned properly on the panel bus bar. A 2-Pole breaker must be connected to both bus bars (A6tB phase) to produce 240V power.
2. Tighten wire connections.
3. By-pass the limit to test. If the heater works, replace the limit.
Heater Smokes| 1. Oil on Element
2. Needs Cleaning| 1. It is normal for the element to burn off some light finishing oil used in the manufacturing process when first energized. Open windows and allow room to vent until it stops, usually within a few minutes.
2. Remove any dust or dirt accumulations.
The room temperature does not match the thermostat setting| 1. Thermostat is affected by another heat source.
2. Improper calibration| 1. Sunlight or other heat sources can affect the thermostat. Move the thermostat to another location or remove the heat source.
2. Remove the cover and adjust the calibration screw.

Maintenance & Warranty

Maintenance & Cleaning: Basic maintenance is listed below and should be performed annually. When necessary, any required servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel. Your heater will give you years of service and comfort with only minimum care. To assure efficient operation follow the simple instructions below.
WARNING: Turn the electrical power OFF at the electrical panel board (circuit breaker or fuse box) and lock or tag this panel board door to prevent someone from turning on power while you are working on this heater. Failure to do so could result in serious electrical shock, burns, or possible death.
Before cleaning this heater, the heating element of the heater must be cool.

1. Before removing the grille, turn the electrical power OFF. Circuit breakers are often not marked correctly and turning the wrong breaker off could mean electricity is flowing to the heater, even if the heater does not appear to be working. If you are uncomfortable working with electrical appliances, unable to follow these guidelines, or do not have the necessary equipment, consult a qualified electrician. Once you verify the power is off completely, proceed to the next step.
2. Remove screws and take off the grille. Wash grille with hot soapy water and dry immediately
3. Using a hair dryer or vacuum on the blow cycle, hold the fan in place to prevent it from turning and blow debris back through the element. Do not touch the element. Vacuums lose debris without touching the elements.
4. Replace the grille and secure it with screws.
5. Turn the thermostat to the desired setting.
6. Turn the power back ON at the electrical panel board.
