PLANNING

This heater is intended to be used to supply supplemental heat from a wall location in new or existing construction.
Choose a location where the edge of the heater will be at least 12” from the floor or any adjacent vertical surface.
The heater can be operated using its built-in thermostat or a remote thermostat (such as the Model 86W Line-Voltage thermostat or an appropriate low-voltage thermostat and
transformer/relay). The Model 85 Kit is available for surface-mount applications. Purchase these accessories separately.
Plan to supply the heater with proper line voltage and appropriate power cable.
NOTE: Power can be tapped from a nearby circuit depending on the heater wattage required and the amperage rating of the circuit. The heater can be converted to half-wattage to avoid overloading such circuits.

Bold ratings are factory wired.
See the “OPTIONAL WIRING CONVERSIONS” section for wattage conversion instructions.

Follow these basic steps when installing this heater:

1. Nail housing to studs.
2. Connect the power cable.
3. Fasten heater assembly and grille to housing.

INSTALLATION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the heater.
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 and away from the side and rear.

1. Remove heater assembly from the housing. Take out the four (4) screws shown and set heater assembly aside.
   

2. Attach housing to wall studs.

NOTE: Locate housing at least 12” from the floor on any adjacent walls.
Use the measuring guides on the sides of the housing to position housing so that it will be flush with the finished wall. Nail the housing to studs through the hole and slot on both sides of the housing.
NOTE: In 24”-on-center stud construction, framing in between studs is necessary.

WIRING

Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards.

1. Connect the power cable to the housing. Attach the electrical power cable to the housing using an appropriate connector. Allow 6” of wire inside the housing.
2. Wire the heater assembly. Connect wires from heater assembly to power cable wires. Follow the wiring diagram. If the heater is wired direct, use the built-in thermostat for temperature control.

OPTIONAL WIRING CONVERSIONS

When using a separate wall control, simply turn the heater’s built-in thermostat to its highest setting. There is no need to disconnect the built-in thermostat:

a) Turn the built-in thermostat to the highest setting.
b) Remove knob.
c) Fasten security cover to the grille.
LINE-VOLTAGE THERMOSTAT

If wall-mounted control is desired, use the Model 86W Line-Voltage Thermostat. Purchase thermo- stat separately.
Cut the blue wire. Strip ½” of insulation from each end. Connect wires from wall control to each stripped wire.
If wall-mounted control is desired, use a transformer/relay with an appropriate low-voltage thermostat (purchase separately). Follow the mounting and wiring instructions packed with the controls.

HALF-WATTAGE CONVERSION

The heater will produce less heat and use less electricity if converted to half-wattage. Remove the black jumper wire from the heating element and discard the wire.

COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION

1. Install housing mask. A housing mask has been provided to keep construction dust, drywall spray, paint, etc., from damaging the heater. Bend the flap on the mask and push it into the heater housing.
   NOTE: Mask can be put into place before or after heater assembly is reinstalled. Remove mask before operation.

2. Reinstall heater assembly. Secure heater assembly to housing with four (4) screws. Check the thermal overload button marked “RESET”. The heater will not operate unless this button is depressed.
   

3. Install grille. Place grille over the heater and attach with four (4) screws. Push knob onto thermostat stem.

4. Attach security cover to grille (optional). When the heater is installed in a public area without a separate wall control, it is recommended that:
   a) Built-in thermostat be set to desired temperature level.
   b) Thermostat knob be removed.
   c) Security cover be attached to grille with two (2) screws, provided.

5. Check operation. Turn on power at the service entrance. Turn the thermostat to its highest setting and make sure the heating element and blower come on. Then turn it to its lowest setting and make sure the element and blower shut off.

NOTE: The fan delay prevents the fan from coming on until the element is hot. Likewise, it keeps the fan running until the element cools down.

OPERATION

Before using the heater, make sure the heater has been properly installed according to installation steps under “INSTALLATION” on page 3.
The heater can be operated using its built-in thermostat or a remote thermostat (such as the Model 86W Line-Voltage thermostat or an appropriate low-voltage thermostat and transformer/relay). The Model 85 Kit is available for surface-mount applications. Purchase these accessories separately.

THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
Your heater is equipped with a manual reset thermal overload protector. If the heater fails to operate when the thermostat is turned to its highest setting:

1. Turn off power at service entrance.
2. Remove knob and grille.
3. Press the button marked “RESET”.

This type of device is particularly useful (compared to automatic reset devices) because it encourages the user to find and correct the cause of overheating unit when resetting the protector.

TO AVOID PROPERTY DAMAGE WHEN USING THIS HEATER TO PREVENT FREEZE-UPS:
Make sure the heater functions properly before leaving it unattended. A tripped protector will prevent the heater from operating.

MAINTENANCE

The following maintenance and cleaning tasks can be performed by the user. All other servicing must be performed by an authorized technician If you have any questions,  lease consult with our customer service department at: 800-558-1711.
LUBRICATION
The heater is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling or disassembly.
CLEANING
Clean heater once a month as follows:

1. Turn off power at the service panel.
2. Make sure the heating element is cool.
3. Use a soft brush attachment to gently vacuum grille openings or wipe the grill clean with a soft cloth.
4. Restore power.

CAUTION: METAL AND ELECTRICAL PARTS SHOULD NEVER BE IMMERSED IN WATER.
