GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: This heater requires hardwire installation (no plug). The installation of this product must be carried out by a Certified Electrician and in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.

1. Use only copper wires rated for at least 60ºC.
2. Heater air flow must be directed parallel to or away from the adjacent wall.
3. Observe all wall, floor and ceiling clearance requirements.
4. All wiring must be done according to national and local electrical codes. The heater must be grounded as a precaution against possible electrical shock. Heater circuit must be protected with proper fuses.
5. The mounting structure and the anchoring hardware must be capable of supporting the weight of the heater and the mounting bracket (if used).
6. All electrical power must be disconnected at the main service box, which must be locked before connecting, inspecting, cleaning or servicing the heater. This is an important precaution to prevent serious electric shock.
7. This is heater is not suitable for use in hazardous locations containing explosive liquids or vapours. This heater has hot, arcing or sparking pads inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.
8. This heater is not suitable for use in corrosive atmospheres such as marine greenhouses or chemical storage areas.
9. This heater must be mounted at least 8 feet off the floor. For specific clearances, please see next page.

LOCATING HEATER

• Install heater away from traffic areas, maintaining clearances stated in figure 2 (below). The air flow direction should not be restricted (ie, by columns or
  machinery). The air flow should wipe exposed walls rather than blowing directly on them. When more than one heater is used in an area, heaters should be installed so that the air discharge of each heater supports the air flow of the others, to provide best warm air circulation as shown in figure 3.

INSTALLATION

MOUNTING THE BRACKET

Refer to Figures 4a and 4b.

1. Locate a wood stud in the wood ceiling joist. If you cannot locate a wood stud, you have to install a wood piece on the ceiling as this heater must be securely fastened.
2. Remove the mounting bracket from the heating unit by loosening bracket screws with a wrench and slipping the handle off over the screw heads.
3. Place a washer on screws before inserting through the holes in the mounting bracket and screw them securely into a ceiling joist.
   • NOTE: If you want to swivel the heater either to the right or left, adding a washer to both sides of the bracket is recommended. A longer lag bolt may be
     required to properly secure the unit. See Figure 4a.

HANGING THE HEATER

• 1) Attach the heating unit to the mounting bracket.
• 2) Lift the heater up and into the mounting bracket.
  3) Align the bracket screws with the keyhole slots in the mounting bracket.
• 4) If the heater is to be tilted, it must be positioned in the keyhole slots – see figure 5.
• 5) Tighten the bracket screws with a wrench so the unit is securely suspended at horizontal or vertical level.

CONNECTING THE POWER

1. Remove the screw from the front of the unit to connect the power to the heater.
2. Attach the cable connectors to the unit (See Figure 6) and slide the 10-gauge wire through the cable connector.
   NOTE: All wiring must be in accordance to national and local electrical codes in the United States. 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.
3. Connect the wire to the power block located in the base of the heater – See Figure 7.
4. Turn on the power at the main service.
   • CAUTION:
   • High temperatures – risk of fire. Keep flammable materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 ft. (0.9 m) from the front and top of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear. To reduce the risk of fire, do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: the heater must be properly installed before it is used.

SETTING THE THERMOSTAT

• 1) Rotate thermostat knob clockwise to high position, POWER INDICATOR will turn yellow.
• 2) After room reaches desired comfort level rotate thermostat knob counter clockwise until the thermostat to OFF position.
  NOTE: Heater will cycle on and off to maintain room temperature.

SELECTION SWITCH

• Using the SELECTION SWITCH, you can control the heating output: I for 3000W, II for 4000W, III for 5000W.

THERMAL CUT-OUT

• The heater will automatically shut off when parts of it overheat. The heater will turn ON again when the abnormal temperature returns to normal levels. Should the unit overheat and cause the thermal cut-out to cycle, the cause of the overheating should be determined and corrective action taken before further operation.
• NOTE: When the thermal cut-out is activated, the caution indicator will turn red. In this case, immediately turn the heater OFF and inspect for any objects on or adjacent to the heater that may cause high temperatures. DO NOT OPERATE THE HEATER WITH THE CAUTION INDICATOR GLOWING RED.

ADJUSTING AIR FLOW DIRECTION

1. To turn the unit when it has been installed with a single lag bolt (as shown in figure 4a), simply turn the entire heater as needed. The unit cannot be turned
   horizontally if it has been installed with 2 lag bolts.
2. To tilt the unit vertically, loosen the bracket screws (see figure 5).
   • NOTE: For the heater to be tilted vertically, it must be mounted in the bottom keyhole slots of the mounting brackets to maintain adequate clearance and
     prevent possible overheating
   • Adjust louvers to the desired position.
   • NOTE: The louvers are designed so they cannot be completely closed. Do not attempt to defeat this feature; damage to the unit can result.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

1. Before cleaning, make sure the power has been turned off at the circuit breaker panel and that the heating element of the heater is cool.
2. To maintain the external appearance of the radiator, it only needs to be wiped over occasionally with a dry duster. During the summer months, or at other
   times when the appliance is not in use and is completely cold, It should be the best opportunity to wipe over with a damp cloth.
3. Do not use abrasive clearing powders or furniture polish. Do not use chemical or abrasive products, metallic scourers and so on, which may deteriorate the surface, to clean the appliance.
4. All other servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel. Do not try to repair the heater yourself.
