2. Heater air flow must be directed parallel to or away from the adjacent wall.

3. Observe all wall, floor, and ceiling clearance requirements.

4. All wiring must be done according to national and local electrical codes. The heater must be grounded as a precaution against possible electrical shock.
   The heater circuit must be protected with proper fuses.

5. The mounting structure and the anchoring hardware must be capable of supporting the weight of the heater and the mounting bracket (if used).

6. All electrical power must be disconnected at the main service box, which must be locked before connecting, inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the heater. This is an important precaution to prevent serious electric shock.

WARNING

IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

LOCATING HEATER

Install heater away from traffic areas, maintaining clearances stated in figure 2 (below). The airflow direction should not be restricted (ie. by columns or machinery). The airflow should wipe exposed walls rather than blowing directly on them. When more than one heater is used in an area, heaters should be installed so that the air discharge of each heater supports the airflow of the others, to provide the best warm air circulation as shown in figure 3.

PRE-INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

MOUNTING THE BRACKET
Refer to Figures 4a and 4b.

1. Locate a wood stud in the wood ceiling joist. If you cannot locate a wood stud, you have to install a wood piece on the ceiling as this heater must be securely fastened.
2. Remove the mounting bracket from the heating unit by loosening bracket screws with a wrench and slipping the handle off over the screw heads.
3. Place a washer on screws before inserting them through the holes in the mounting bracket and screw them securely into a ceiling joist.
   NOTE: If you want to swivel the heater either to the right or left adding a washer to both sides of the bracket is recommended. A longer lag bolt may be required to properly secure the unit. See Figure 4a.

Figure 4a. Single-Screw Mounting  Figure 4b. Double-Screw Mounting

HANGING THE HEATER

1. Attach the heating unit to the mounting bracket.
2. Lift the heater up and into the mounting bracket.
3. Align the bracket screws with the keyhole slots in the mounting bracket.
4. If the heater is to be tilted it must be positioned in the keyhole slots – see figure 5.
5.  Tighten the bracket screws with a wrench so the unit is securely suspended at horizontal or vertical levels.

ADJUSTING AIRFLOW DIRECTION

1. To turn the unit when it has been installed with a single lag bolt (as shown in figure 4a), simply turn the entire heater as needed. The unit cannot be turned horizontally if it
   has been installed with 2 lag bolts.

2. To tilt the unit vertically, loosen the bracket screws (see figure 5).
   NOTE: For the heater to be tilted vertically, it must be mounted in the bottom keyhole slots of mounting brackets to maintain adequate clearance and prevent possible overheating.

3. Adjust louvers to the desired position (see Figure 6).
   NOTE: The louvers are designed so they cannot be completely closed. Do not attempt to bypass this feature; damage to the unit can result.

THE HEATER MUST BE PROPERLY INSTALLED BEFORE IT IS USED.

Check that the garage heaters outlet grill is not covered or obstructed in any way, and make sure the power to the unit is switched on.
The garage heater control functions can be accessed in two (2) ways:

• Using the touchpad control panel, located on the front of the garage heater below the air guide plates.
• Using the multifunction remote control unit.

1. Main Power Button:
   This button supplies power to all of the garage heaters’ functions. It must be turned on for the garage heater to work

2. Heater Control Button:
   This button adjusts the 3 heating stages: OFF Fa (Fan Only) LOW (5000W displays “L”), and High (7500W displays “H”).

3. Temperature/Timer Display:
   This LED display shows the set point for the temperature and timer functions. When either of these functions is activated, the display reflects the set point for five seconds and then fades to black. Any change to the set point of the temperature or timer will reactivate the display, which again fades after five seconds.

4. DOWN Control Button:
   This button is used to decrease temperature or timer setting. It adjusts the temperature range between 10°C – 35°C (50°F – 95°F) in 2°F (/1°C) increments.

5. UP Control Button:
   This button is increasing the temperature or timer setting. It adjusts the temperature range between 10°C – 35°C (50°F – 95°F) in 2°F (/1°C) increments.

6. Timer Button:
   This button controls the Timer ON/OFF and 8 settings from 1 hour to 8 hours. When the Timer is first turned on, it will come on at the shortest time setting (1 hour).  Each time the Timer button is pressed, the time increases by 1 hour, up to the longest setting (8 hours). Once the set time expires, all garage heaters’ functions will be automatically turned off.

7. Fahrenheit/Celsius Button:
   REMOTE:
   This button displays F (Fahrenheit) or C (Celsius) depending on how the temperature mode is set. When the garage heater is turned on, the Fahrenheit (F) temperature will
   be displayed.
   GARAGE HEATER :
   To switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius, or vise-versa, when the garage heater is ON, hold the HEATER CONTROL button for 5 seconds. Unless the power to the unit has been  interrupted, the garage heater will remember the last temperature mode setting will start at that setting,

MAINTENANCE

1. Before cleaning, make sure the power has been turned off at the circuit breaker panel and that the heating element of the heater is cool.
2. To maintain the external appearance of the heater, the unit occasionally needs to be wiped with a dry duster. During the summer months, or at other times when the appliance is not in use and is completely cold, it should be wiped over with a damp cloth.
3. Do not use abrasive cleaning powders or furniture polish. Do not use chemicals or abrasive products, metallic scourers, and so on, which may deteriorate the surface, to clean the appliance.
4. During the summer months, or at other times when the appliance is not in use, disconnect the power supply. Keep the appliance in a dry and cool place.
5. All other servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel. Do not try to repair the heater yourself.
