SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
The heater must be properly installed before it is used.
HEATER OPERATION
Fan Delay
Some models (5 kW and less) are designed with a fan delay that
allows the elements to heat-up before the fan turns on, reducing
the "cold blast" effect normally felt with non-fan delayed heaters.
On a call for heat from either the remote (floor level)
thermostat or the unit mounted thermostat the elements
will be energized.
After the elements get warm, a short period of time,
the fan will come on (5 kW and less).
When the thermostat is satisfied the elements will
be deenergized.
The fan will continue to run until the residual heat is
removed from the heater. Then the fan will stop.
Automatic Reset Thermal High Limit
The heater has an automatic reset thermal high limit that will
deenergize the heating elements if the interior temperatures of heater
exceed its setting. The limit will automatically reset when the heater
interior temperatures fall below its setting.
MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
The heater motor is permanently lubricated.
Occasional cleaning of the inlet grille will prevent clogging.
Use a vacuum with a brush attachment.
Cleaning should be done while the heater is disconnected
from the main service panel. Wait until the housing and
heating elements cool before performing maintenance.
Any other servicing should be performed by a qualified
technician.
