SAFETY

Read carefully. Use the heater only as described in these instructions. Any other use is not recommended and could result in fire, electric shock and personal injury. Following these instructions will prevent injuries that might occur during the installation and use of the heater. Save these instructions for future use.

WARNING! Never leave heater unattended while connected to a power source.
Fire or explosion may occur! During normal operation, the heater has hot components and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or other flammable liquids are used or stored.

Risk of fire- ­ To prevent a possible fire, do not block the intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed where openings may become blocked. Keep clear of all obstructions. Maintain a 3′ minimum clearance from front and 1′ from sides and rear. Heaters must be kept clean of lint, dirt and debris.

Minimum Clearance From Combustibles

Front| 3′
Top| 1′
Sides| 1′
Rear| 1′

Risk of fire- ­ Do not use heater with extension cord. Plug the heater directly into a 208-240VAC receptacle.
Overheating or fire may occur. Do not place heater behind a door.
Burn hazard- ­ The heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not touch the case, grill, or interior parts of the heater when in use. Use handle when moving the heater. Allow heater to cool down before touching it.
Risk of electric shock or injury- ­ Do not run the power cord under carpeting, throw rugs, runners, or other similar coverings. Do not route the cord under furniture or appliances. Keep the cord away from a traffic area so it will not cause a tripping hazard. Do not operate the heater with a damaged cord or plug, after the heater malfunctions or if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Discard heater immediately. Do not try to repair.
Risk of electrical shock- ­ Connect the heater to a properly grounded outlet only. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter the intake or exhaust opening of the heater, as this may cause an electric shock or fire and damage the heater. Unplug the heater before performing any maintenance or when not in use. To disconnect heater, turn the thermostat control to low, then remove plug from outlet.
Never suspend or hang any objects from a mounted heater.

CAUTION! Risk of electric shock. Do not open heater case when plugged into an electrical outlet.
**

WARNING!**  Prior to operating, make sure the electrical outlet is of the configuration and capacity appropriate for the heater.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not use heater in wet or moist locations.
Always locate heater on a stable and level surface.
Do not place the heater against cardboard or low-density fiberboard surfaces.
Avoid using an extension cord because the extension cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire.
Use only the electrical power (voltage and frequency) specified on the model plate of the heater.
Use a three-prong, grounded outlet only.
Always unplug the heater when not in use.

FEATURES

INSTALLATION

WALL OR CEILING MOUNT APPLICATIONS
NOTE: Hardware package is located in styrofoam packaging.

ATTACHING HEATER TO WALL BRACKET

1. Line up hole on bracket with hole on the heater handle. Attach heater to bracket with 20 mm bolt, lock washer, 10 mm washer and 10 mm nut. (See Figures 1-2)
   

WARNING! Be certain adjustment knobs are tightened firmly to secure heater to bracket.

MOUNTING TO WALL OR CEILING

1. Locate wood stud in wall or joist in ceiling.

2. Use holes in bracket to mark three holes for drilling.

3. Pre-drill three holes for screws. Be sure holes are drilled into the wood stud in wall or joist in ceiling.

4. Secure two 66 mm screws to wall leaving 1/8″ exposed. Two screws must be attached to a wood stud (min. 1.5″). (See Figure 3)
   

5. Attach bracket to wall by inserting screws through keyholes on bracket and pushing down to lock in place. (See Figure 4).
   

6. Tighten screws against bracket to secure.

7. Insert the third 66 mm screw with a washer through the middle hole on bracket. Tighten screw against bracket to secure. (See Figure 5)
   

WARNING! Heater must be attached to a joist with a minimum of two screws in opposing holes.
WARNING! Use appropriate fasteners. The screws included are for installing in wood studs only and are not intended for metal joists.

OPERATION

1. Position the fan heater so that it stands upright on a firm, level surface (when used as portable) and at a safe distance from wet locations and flammable objects.
2. Connect the fan heater to proper electrical power. See Figure 6 for grounding instructions.
3. Set the thermostat dial to the maximum temperature.
4. Once the room reaches the desired temperature, turn the thermostat dial back until heating element turns off. The heater will cycle automatically around this preset temperature. To increase temperature, turn the thermostat knob clockwise. To lower temperature, turn the thermostat knob counterclockwise.
5. Low setting on thermostat does not prevent heater from turning on. Turn power switch off or unplug from wall to prevent heater from turning on. Before unplugging heater, turn power switch to off position.
   NOTE: When using the heater for the first time, you may notice a slight emission of smoke. This is normal and it stops after a short time. The heating element is made of steel and was coated with a layer of protective oil during production. The smoke is caused by the leftover oil as it is heated.
   NOTE: This heater has a built-in fan delay designed to exhaust heat from the unit until the elements are cool (cool down cycle). This improves energy efficiency. The fan may cycle on/off for a few minutes after the thermostat is set to the low position or power switch is set to off. This is normal and required to cool down heater and to prevent the safety limit from tripping.

HOW TO RESET THE HEATER
NOTE: This heater is equipped with an internal safety limiting thermostat and overheat protection circuit.

1. If Safety Limit light illuminates, an abnormal condition has turned off the heating elements. To reset, wait ten minutes to allow the heater to cool down, then insert a small screwdriver tip into the hole on the front of the heater marked “Limit Reset” and push firmly until you hear a click.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This heater can only be used with 240 or 208 volt outlet. The cord has a plug as shown in Figure 6 below.

NOTE: No adapter is available for this blade configuration, and none should be used. When properly installed, it provides a ground connection through the cord to the heater to protect the operator from electric shock.
NOTE: Be sure that the electrical receptacle is of the configuration and capacity appropriate for the heater.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Before cleaning the heater, disconnect it from the power outlet and let it cool down.
