By turning the thermostat knob clockwise, this will increase the temperature setting of the Hound Heater. When you turn the thermostat clockwise you will hear a faint click. The unit will turn on and run at maximum power until that chosen temperature is reached. Approximate settings are as follows: LOW - MEDIUM is approximately 35F-50F (1C - 10C) MEDIUM - HIGH is approximately 50F-80F (10C - 26C) The Hound Heater™... - Page 3 Installation & Maintenance Installation: Tools Required: 1. Measuring device 2. Drill 3. 1-1/8” wood drill bit 4. Screw driver 5. Three wood screws (not included). Make sure Pet is removed from pet house prior to installation. Step 1… The Hound Heater™ must be mounted on a vertical wall of your pet house. Do not mount on the ceiling or floor. Place the heater as high as possible with a minimum of at least 3 inches from the ceiling. Do not place heater near floor of pet house. Step 2..Using the 1-1/8” drill bit, drill a hole through the wall of your pet house (a minimum of 9” from the ceiling) where the center of the Hound Heater will be placed and the power cord will go through. Step 3..Carefully feed the cord all the way through the previously drilled hole making sure the cord is not kinked. Step 4..Mount the heater with the temperature control knob towards the ceiling and the slant towards the floor using three wood screws or nuts and bolts. Lightly tuck the filter (included in box) in the space between the heater and the wall - behind the temperature control knob. This will help dog hair, dirt and dust from getting in the heater and improve functionality. Step 5 ... Plug the unit into a GFI outlet and you are done. If you are using an extension cord, it must be a 3 wire, 18 gauge (outdoor rated) grounded plug cord. Be sure the connection is elevated off any surface and not near water. Maintenance: Regular maintenance is important to the functionality and safety of the unit. 1. The filter must be cleaned at least once per month to keep unit in safe and operable condition. To clean the filter, remove it from the unit and blow air or water through the filter until it is clean. Return the filter once it is dry to the unit. 2. During regular maintenance, remove front cover and inspect for hair, dust, and debris. Ensure the fan is free from hair, dust, and debris and is able to move freely. To clean, we recommend wiping it out with a lint free towel and/or a soft bristled brush.
