The green grounding lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.

REPLACING HALOGEN LAMP

This model heater features an exclusive, replaceable halogen lamp system. In the event that a halogen lamp in this heater should break, burn-out or become inefficient, you can purchase replacement halogen lamps. Halogen lamps (use only type G9,120V., 60Hz., 25Watt) are available at most hardware and home center stores.

NOTE: Never touch Halogen lamp with bare hands. Oil residue from bare hands will cause lamp failure.

   Warning: Replacement bulb rating must not exceed 25-watts.
5. Close lampshade and re-install screw. Snap heater onto properly installed mounting bracket before use

GETTING STARTED:

FIRST CHOOSE A MOUNTING INSTALLATION OPTION

WARNING: This unit is intended for use ONLY as a ceiling mounted heater. Mounting on a wall or sloping surface such as a roof is a risk of fire due to possible overheating of the unit or igniting nearby combustible materials.

KEY SLOT

MOUNTING INSTALLATION

1. Locate a desired position on your ceiling in the area to be warmed. (Heater should be at least 3 feet (0.9m) away from the nearest wall or other combustible material)
2. The mounting bracket may be attached to a single joist (Fig. A) or span across two joists (Fig. B) Failure to mount heater to joists can result in injury and or fire hazards.
3. If you are installing the bracket to an unfinished ceiling with exposed joists, proceed to step 4. On a finished ceiling the joists are hidden behind the ceiling dry wall or plaster. You must locate and mark the location of the center of the joists in the mounting area. Joists are typically 1-1/2 inch (38mm) wide and 16 inch (406mm) or 18 inch (457mm) apart.
   They usually run parallel with the narrow dimension of the room. A “Stud Finder” available at most hardware stores may help in locating the center of these hidden joists.
4. Using the mounting bracket as a template, line up one of the key slots at each end of the bracket with one or two joists and mark the slotted openings. If you cannot line up the holes in the bracket with the joists you will have to use other mounting methods. See “Installing a Mounting Board.”
5. Using a 1/8 inch (3.2mm) drill bit, drill a hole in the center of each marked key slot. Install the two screws provided leaving about 1/4 inch (6.4mm) between the head of the screw and the mounting surface. Slip the mounting bracket over the screw heads and slide the bracket to engage the screws in the slots. Tighten screws securely.

INSTALLING A MOUNTING BOARD (If required)

If your joists are more that 18 inch (457mm) apart, or you have chosen to mount the heater at an angle to the joists as in a corner or to a suspended ceiling, a mounting board will be needed to provide a surface to attach the mounting bracket (Fig. C). The mounting board should be a board measuring approximately 1 inch (25.4mm) thick by 2 inch (50.8mm) and 18 inch (457mm) in length or long enough to span two or more joists (For Suspended Ceiling installations make the length 23.75 inch (603.25mm) exactly). For swivel or key slot installations, securely bolt or screw the mounting board into desired position. Continue with the installation following the instructions for the desired heater bracket mounting installation.

SUSPENDED CEILING

MOUNTING INSTALLATION

1. Select a ceiling tile in the desired location and a mounting installation option (either Swivel or key Slot installation. See previous page for option descriptions). (Note: heater should be at least 3 feet (0.9m) away from the nearest wall or other combustible material)
2. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark the tile with the appropriate hole locatlon(s).
3. Construct a Mounting Board. See “Installing a Mounting Board” on the previous page. Note the length of the board should be exactly 23.75 inch (603.25mm) long.
4. Remove the marked tile from the ceiling. Position the mounting board behind the tile and behind the marked hole location(s). Make sure the ends of the mounting board and the tile are aligned.
5. Drill 1/8 inch (3.2mm) hole(s) THROUGH THE TILE AND MOUNTING BOARD WHERE MARKED.
6. Using the hardware supplied, attach the mounting bracket to the mounting board with the ceiling tile sandwiched in between. (See Fig. D below)
7. Reinstall assembled heater bracket/ceiling tile/mounting board in ceiling. Refer to “Attaching Heater to Mounting Bracket” in these instructions.

ATTACHING HEATER TO MOUNTING BRACKET

(Warning: Always remove screw from each arm first before attaching heater to mounting bracket. Do not forget to replace the screws back to each arm after attaching heater, otherwise heater could slide out of mounting bracket and cause injury or damage.)

1. Your heater is equipped with rotating arms at each end of the unit. To conserve space in shipment these arms are in line with the heater body and must be repositioned before installation. With your heater laying face down, rotate each arm slowly upward until they are perpendicular to the body. For safety reasons, once rotated, the arms cannot be returned to their original position.
2. Remove screw from both arms, then holding the heater by the arms (one in each hand) slide the arms onto the mounting bracket until it locks into place.
3. Replace the screws back to each arm after attaching heater (Do not forget to replace the screws back into each arm and nut after you finish attaching it to the heater, otherwise would cause heater to slide out of mounting bracket and cause injury or damage.)
4. Plug the heater into a 120V A.C. grounded outlet. Keep the cord away from the front of the heater. Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip). Always unplug heater/fan when not in use.
5. Adjust the angle and rotation of the heater to direct the heat where needed.

CAUTION: Do not adjust the heater while it is operating. Do not adjust the halogen lamp while it is operating. The metal parts of the housing and the lampshade get very hot and can cause a burn. Always turn your heater off and allow time for it to cool before adjusting.

REMOVING HEATER FROM MOUNTING BRACKET

1. Unplug heater and allow to cool.
2. Remove screw from each arm.
3. Push-in the two tabs on the outside of each arm
4. Grasp both arms and simultaneously pull the unit down while holding the tabs in.

WARNING: Do not attempt to remove the heater one arm at a time as this could cause damage to the heater cabinet.
NOTE: The rotating arms on this heater will not fold flat with the body of the heater for safety reasons. Attempting to fold this heater flat could cause damage to the heater housing.
