How to operate your heater
1. Once installation is complete and power has been restored, turn
the thermostat knob fully clockwise.
2. When the room reaches your comfort level, turn the thermostat
knob counterclockwise until the heater turns off. The heater will
auto mat ically cycle around this preset temperature.
3. To reduce the room temperature, turn the knob counterclockwise.
To increase the room tempera ture, turn the knob clockwise.
Maintenance
As needed, or every six months minimum.
1. WARNING! Before removing grill, turn the electrical power
off at the electrical panel board (circuit breaker or fuse box).
Lock or tag the panel board door to prevent someone from
accidentally turning the power on while you are working on the
heater. Failure to do so could result in serious electrical shock,
burns, or possible death.
2. It is important that you verify power has been turned off and no
power is going to the heater before proceeding. Circuit breakers
are often not marked correctly and turning the wrong breaker off
could mean electricity is flowing to the heater, even if the heater
does not appear to be working. If you are uncomfortable working
with electrical appliances, unable to follow these guidelines, or do
not have the necessary equipment, consult a qualified electrician.
3. Once you verify the power has been turned off correctly, proceed
to the next step.
4. Remove screws and take off grill.
5. Wash grill with hot soapy water and dry immediately.
6. While holding fan (to avoid damage or bending), use a hair dryer
or vacuum on blow cycle to blow debris through the top element
(Do not touch element).
7. Vacuum fan area without touching the elements.
8. Replace grill and secure with screws.
9. Turn thermostat to desired setting.
10. Turn power back on at the electrical panel board.

About the Heater Temperature-Limiting Controls
The heater is protected by two temperature-limiting controls
(for Model CST, four controls are used). Both controls are integral
parts of the element assembly. The first is a manual power reset
limit control, designed to open the heater circuit when excessive
operating temperatures are detected. The problem must be assessed
and the limit must be reset to resume operation.
Further protection is provided by a secondary over-temperature
fuse, which will open the heater circuit in severe over-temperature
conditions, or in the event of component failure. If this occurs, the
heater must be repaired or replaced.
RESETTING THE MANUAL POWER RESET LIMIT CONTROL
If the manual power reset limit has opened the heater circuit due to
excessive operating temperatures, the heater will not work until
it is reset. This can be done at the thermostat or the circuit breaker
controlling the heater.
To Reset Heater at the Thermostat
1. Lower the temperature on the thermostat below room temperature.
2. Allow the unit to cool for at least 10 minutes.
3. Resolve the problem causing the limit to trip (typically the heater
is blocked or needs cleaning, see Maintenance Instructions).
4. Raise the temperature on the thermostat back above room
temperature. The heater should come back on.
5. The heater is now functional and the thermostat can be reset
to your comfort level.
To Reset Heater at the Circuit Breaker (recommended if room
temperature is below 45˚)
1. Trip the breaker by switching it to the OFF position.
2. Allow the unit to cool for at least 10 minutes.
3. Resolve the problem causing the limit to trip (typically the heater
is blocked or needs cleaning, see Maintenance Instructions).
4. Restore power to the heater by switching the breaker to the
ON position.
5. Raise the temperature on the thermostat above room temperature.
The heater should come back on.
6. The heater is now functional and the thermostat can be reset to
your comfort level.
Note that resetting the manual power reset control may not restore
heater operation if a severe over-temperature condition has occurred.
