not be restricted by anything and the air flow should not blow directly at exposed walls. When more than one
heater is used in an area, the heaters should be arranged so that the air discharge of each heater supports the air
flow of the other heater(s) to provide optimal circulation of warm air

OPERATION
NOTE: The first time you operate this heater, it may emit a slight odor and some smoke. This is due
to the residual cleaning agents used to clean the element during manufacturing. This is normal op-
eration and will cease after the heater has been used for a few minutes.
ADJUSTING THE AIR FLOW DIRECTION
1. Rotating the unit - if the unit has been installed with a single lag bolt, simply rotate the entire unit
as needed to adjust the direction of the air flow.
2. Tilting the unit - Loosen the bracket screws, tilt the heater to the desired position, and re-tighten
the bracket screws. NOTE: To tilt the heater it must be mounted in bottom keyhole slots of
mounting brackets to maintain adequate clearance and prevent possible overheating.
3. Adjust the louvers to the desired position. NOTE: The louvers are designed so they cannot be
completely closed. Do not attempt to close the louvers completely as this may damage the unit.

To prevent possible electric shock, disconnect the power to the heater at the main service box be-
fore attempting to adjust the heat output of the unit.

Remove the protective grille from the rear of the heater. This provides access to the fan and motor. Wipe off
the fan and motor with a soft cloth or brush. The fan motor does not require lubrication. Replace the protective
grille when finished.
