How do I insert the heater assembly into the wall can?
STEP 2
Install Heater Assembly
Turn heater assembly upside down (Element down with motor facing you).
Connect the supply wires to the heater wires with connectors (See Figure 7).
Now rotate the heater so the element and the fan are facing you.
For VERTICALLY MOUNTED units the element should be at the top. Insert the bottom edge of the
heater assembly into the half round slots (tabs) in the bottom lip of the wall can (See Figure 8a).
[IMPORTANT: Push wires into bottom of wall can during insertion. Be sure that supply wires are
not caught between motor and wall can.] Attach assembly at top with screw provided.
For HORIZONTALLY MOUNTED units the element should be to the left. Insert the right edge of the
heater assembly into the half round slots (tabs) on the right side of the wall can (See Figure 8b).
[IMPORTANT: Push wires into right side of wall can during insertion. Be sure that supply wires
are not caught between motor and wall can.] Attach assembly at left with screw provided.
STEP 3
Install Grill
Secure grill with the screws provided. If you have a built-in thermostat model, slide thermostat knob
onto shaft. Turn power on at the electrical panel board.
Warranty is void if any material is sprayed on the element or blower. Use a paint mask to cover
any exposed areas of the heater if walls are to be textured or painted after heater is installed.
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 automatically cycle around this preset temperature.
3. To reduce the room temperature, turn the knob
counterclockwise. To increase the room temperature, 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.

Operation & Maintenance
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 Manual Reset Temperature Limit Control
The heater is protected by a temperature-limit control. The manual
rest temperature limit control is 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.
Resetting the Manual Reset Temperature Limit Control
If the manual reset limit control has opened the heater circuit due
to excessive operating temperatures, the heater will not work until
the manual reset limit button is pressed. After allowing the unit to
cool for at least 10 minutes and resolving the problem causing the
limit to trip (typically heater is blocked or needs cleaning), use a
narrow object such as a ball-point pen to access the manual reset
button through the heater grill. Press FIRMLY, and be sure to listen
and feel for a click, indicating it has been reset.
