LOCATING HEATER
Install heater away from trac areas, maintaining clearances stated . The air
ow direction should not be restricted (ie. by columns or machinery). The air
ow 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 ow of the others, to provide best
warm air circulation as shown.

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE BRACKET
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 the 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 o 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.
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 gure 5)
5. Tighten the bracket screws with a wrench so the unit is securely suspended
at horizontal or vertical level.

TEMPERATURE
CONTROL SWITCH
Turn the Temperature control KNOB clockwise to the highest setting.
When the room reaches a comfortable temperature, slowly turn the
Temperature control KNOB counterclockwise until the heating element
clicks OFF (the power light will not shut OFF). This is the point where
the thermostat setting equals the room temperature. At this setting,
the thermostat will automatically turn the heater ON and OFF to
maintain the selected temperature.
HIGH POWER
High Power (5000W) is achieved when the switch is pressed to Ill and the
adjustable temperature control is turned on.
LOW POWER
The low power (3000W) is realized when the switch is pressed to I and
the adjustable temperature control is turned on.
MEDIUM POWER
The power (4000W) is realized when the switch is pressed to II and the
adjustable temperature control is turned on.

ADJUSTING AIR FLOW DIRECTION
1. To turn the unit when it has been installed with a single lag bolt, 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.
NOTE: For the heater to be tilted vertically, it must be mounted in
bottom keyhole slots of mounting brackets to maintain adequate
clearance and prevent possible overheating.
3. Adjust louvers to the desired position.
WARNING
To prevent possible electric shock, disconnect power to the heater at the
main service box before attempting to adjust the heat output of this unit.
