OPERATION AND TEMPERATURE SETTING:

1. This heater is designed to maintain a comfortable room temperature. Always operate the heater in the upright position following all instructions and recommendations listed in this manual.
2. When the heater is turned on by pressing the POWER button, it will operate at 10,000W. The LED display panel will show the ambient temperature. The fan will start running about 10 seconds after initial start to push the heat out. To operate the unit on FAN ONLY setting, press the MODE button again. In FAN ONLY mode, the LED display panel will show FA to indicate the heater is in FAN ONLY mode. (See Figure 2 )
3. The temperature setting can be adjusted between 45°F (7°C) to 95°F (35°C). To change the temperature, press the TEMP+ or TEMP – buttons on either the unit or the remote. (See Figure 2 )
4. The temperature display will blink while it is being adjusted. When the desired temperature is reached, it will take about 5 seconds to accept the setting. Once the display stops flashing, the room temperature will reappear on the LED screen to indicate the desired temperature is set.
5. In any temperature mode, the unit will stay in that mode, cycling on and off to maintain the set temperature.
6. The heater can be turned OFF by pressing the POWER button. Once the unit is turned off, the fan will continue to run to cool down the unit and there will be a 90 seconds countdown on the digital display.

TIMER FUNCTION:

The Timer function allows you to set the length of operation from 1 to 12 hours. Each time the TIMER button is pressed the length of operation will increase 1 hour. The duration the timer is set for will be displayed on the LED screen in hour increments.

TO TURN THE TIMER FUNCTION OFF: Press the TIMER Button continuously until the LED screen displays “O”.

NOTE : The timer function is not an excuse to leave the heater unattended.

NOTE : Heater will cycle on and off to maintain room temperature. The first time you operate the unit, it may smoke slightly. This is due to residual cleaning agents used to clean the element when the heater is manufactured. This is normal and does not indicate a problem with the unit. This condition will stop after the heater has been in operation for a few minutes.

FAHRENHEIT OR CELSIUS DISPLAY:

To switch the display between Fahrenheit and Celsius, press the °F/°C on either the unit or the remote.

INSTALLING THE HEATER:

LOCATING THE HEATER:

Install the heater out of traffic areas, maintaining the clearances stated in Figure 1 above. The air flow from the heater must not be restricted or obstructed by any items in the room. When more than one heater is used in an area, the heaters should be arranged so that the air discharge of each heater supports the air flow of the others to provide best circulation of warm air, as indicated below in Figure 3.

BRACKET INSTALLATION FOR CZ260ER SERIES

Refer to Figure 4.

1. Locate a ceiling joist or other firm structural element or support to mount the heater and point at desired direction of air flow.
2. Drill a ¼” pilot hole in the ceiling joist for the screws.
3. Place the screws and washers as shown in the Figure 4.
4. Tighten the screws to secure the heater

HANGING THE HEATER IN THE BRACKET

1. Lift the heater into the mounting bracket and align the lower bracket holes with the threaded holes nearest the heater’s center.
2. Thread a large knob-screw through the hole on each side of the bracket.
3. Aim the heater horizontally or tilted by aligning the upper bracket holes with the top threaded holes on the heater and secure with the small knob-screws and tighten all. See Figure 5.

CONNECTING THE POWER:

1. With the power off at the breaker, remove all screws from the bottom lid for access to the electrical section of the heater.
2. Attach flexible cable through a knock-out in the side of the heater following NEC and local codes, (See Figure 6 ) and SPECIFICATIONS for recommended wiring and circuit breakers.

NOTE : For certain applications, conduit may be required (See Figure 6 ). Check local electrical codes. If you run the wiring in conduit and wish to be able to turn the heater be sure to purchase enough flexible conduit to allow the heater to be turned.

Figure 6

3. Pull enough wire into the heater and connect to wire to the Power Block located in the electrical area of the heater (See Figure 7 ).
4. Be sure to torque all terminal screws and power block lugs tight, see SPECIFICATIONS and NEC/local codes, for required torque values , failure to do so can overheat the power blocks.
5. Turn on power at the main circuit breaker panel. Notice the YELLOW Power Indicator Light on the Control Panel will glow.

Figure 7

WARNING : It is advised that at the start of each heater season, the power should be turned off at the circuit breaker and the LI & L3 lug screws checked for tightness and proper torque. The heater should be cleaned and checked for mechanical and electrical integrity. See SPECIFICATIONS and NEC/local codes.

ADJUSTING AIR FLOW:
