SMART LIMIT PROTECTION
This heater is ecuipped with a thermal overload SMART LIMIT PROTECTION which
disconnects elements (fan delay & fan only function still workst in the event
normal operating temperatures are exceeded. If thermal overload trips due to
abnorma operating temperatures, thermal overload remains open until manually
reset by turning the heater Off for 15 minutes. Inspect for any objects on or
adjacent to the seater that may cause high temperatures. After inspecting the
heater, keep the power to the heater off for 15 minutes to reset the SLP
thermal protector. If the SLP thermal protector
PROTECTION shuts the heater off again, immediately turn the heater OFF at the
circuit breaker and inspect the heater for possible fan motor faiure or dit
and lint on the heating element. Repeat the sarting procedure
