DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD
READ ALL WIRE SIZING, VOLTAGE REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY
DATA TO AVOID PROPERTY DAMAGE AND PERSONAL INJURY
It is extremely important to verify the electrical power supply is the same voltage as the heater being installed. 240 and
120 Volt heaters are not interchangeable. Powering a 208/240/277 Volt unit with 120 Volt supply wires will reduce heater
output by approximately 75%. Powering a 120 Volt unit with 208/240/277 Volt supply wires will destroy the heater and voids
all guarantees and warranties.
CAUTION: Keep electrical cords, drapery, furnishings and other combustibles at least 3 feet (.9m) from front of the heater
and away from side and rear. Do not block the heater in any manner. Can be installed w/zero to floor and no closer than
6 inches to the open edge of a door and adjacent wall. Never paint the heater grill.
WARNINGS: Turn off the power source supplying the heater before attempting any installation, maintenance or repairs.
Lock or tag circuit breaker/fuse panel door. Failure to do so could result in serious electrical shock, burns or possible death.
The superior quality and design of this heater will provide years of trouble-free performance. Each year the heater should be checked and cleaned for lint and/or dust accumulation. King
recommends using a soft bristle brush and vacuum to knock off contaminates. The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no oiling.
SL Slim Line Wall Heaters carry a five (5) year warranty on the elements and a two (2) year warranty on components from date of installation. This warranty requires that the owner or
his agent install the equipment in accordance with the National Electrical Code, any other applicable heating or electrical codes, and the manufacturer's installation instructions. It further
requires that reasonable and necessary maintenance be performed on the unit. Failure to properly maintain the unit will result in the warranty being voided. The company is not liable for
abuse or misuse of product as may be finally determined by the company. The customer shall be responsible for all costs incurred in the removal or reinstallation of products, including
labor costs and shipping costs incurred to return products to King Manufacturing. King Manufacturing will repair or replace, at our option, at no charge to the customer with return freight
paid by King. King Manufacturing shall not be liable for consequential damages arising with respect to the product, whether based upon negligence, tort, strict liability or contract. No other
written or oral warranty applies, nor any warranties by representatives, dealers, employees of King, or any other person. All returns require a King Return Goods Authorization (RGA);
Unauthorized returns will be refused. Do not return malfunctioning/defective products to store.
Operating voltage cannot exceed 5% of rated voltage. Operating heater above listed voltage ratings voids all guarantees and warranties.

It is extremely important that you verify that the electrical power supply is the same voltage as the heater you are installing. 240
and 120 Volt heaters are not interchangeable. Powering a 240 Volt unit with 120 Volt supply wires will reduce the heater output
by approximately 75%. Powering a 120 Volt unit with 240 Volt supply wires will destroy the heater and void warranties.
CAUTION: Turn off power source supplying the heater before attempting installation, maintenance, or repairs. Lock or tag circuit
breaker or fuse panel door. Failure to do so could result in serious electrical shock, burns, or possible death.
1. After removing the heater from the carton, check to make sure the heater has not been damaged in shipment.
2. Remove the grill by loosening and removing the two screws on the side of the front panel.
3. Remove one 7/8" knock-out and feed the supply wire into the wall box using an approved electrical fi tting to prevent
chafi ng of the supply wires.
4. Install the wall can a minimum of 6" from vertical side walls. The Slim Line heater is approved to be mounted at fl oor
level although we recommend mounting it 4" above the fl oor. This will help the heater run cleaner, thus require less
maintenance.
5. Secure the wall box to 2x4 studs (Use molly bolts if studs cannot be located) using the 4 holes provided in the back of
the surface box.
6. Select the wattage and confi gure the terminals per the wiring diagram. Connect the supply wires to the leads from the
heater. Attach the fi eld grounding wire to the green screw or pig tail.
7. Replace the front grill and secure with the two screws provided. The top fi rst louver in the grill must be open into and
between wall can and top of heater for proper circulation of air.
8. The installation is now complete and the heater is ready to be energized for use.
Must Specify 120 or 240 Volt At Time Of Order

inspecting the heater, keep the power off to the heater for 10
minutes to reset the thermal protector. If the heater thermal
protector shuts the heater off again, imme-
