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 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 heaterfor power to enter. Provide proper strain relief connectors for your wire entering the wallbox.

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

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

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

9. Reinstall heater assembly into wallbox with screw at top of interior.

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

11. Test unit by turning 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. 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

WHF 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
OR REMOVE THIS THIS DEVICE.

3. Using a hair dryer or vacuum on blow cycle, blow debris back through the element. Do not touch element.
   Vacuum or use a soft brush and remove lose debris without touching the elements. The fan motor does not require lubrication.

4. Re-attach grill and secure with screws.

5. Turn thermostat to desired setting.

6. Turn power back ON at the electrical panel board.

WARNING: All other servicing should be performed by an authorized service personnel.
