Frequently Asked Questions - KCV2009-W KING

What voltage does the KCV2009-W heater require?

The heater is available in 120V and 240V versions. Check the rating nameplate to ensure the supply voltage matches. Using the wrong voltage can cause poor performance or damage.

How high should the cove heater be installed above the floor?

The heater must be installed a minimum of 6 feet above the floor for safety and proper operation.

Can the cove heater be recessed into the wall?

No, do not recess the heater. It is designed for surface mounting only.

How do I wire the heater for left or right side supply?

The heater can be wired from either side. Connect the supply wires on one side only. In the opposite junction box, connect the white and black element wires together with a wire nut. See Figures D and E in the manual.

What is the warranty period for this heater?

The King KCV series cove heater carries a 2-year warranty from the date of installation. Refer to the manufacturer's warranty statement for details.

How do I clean and maintain the heater?

The heater is maintenance-free with no moving parts. Periodic dusting of the front panel is recommended. Do not use water or cleaning solvents.

Can the heater be painted?

No, never paint the heater. Painting can affect performance and void the warranty.

What happens if I connect a 240V heater to a 120V supply?

Powering a 240V unit with 120V supply will reduce heater output by approximately 75%. Conversely, powering a 120V unit with 240V supply will destroy the heater and void all guarantees.

What are the clearance requirements near draperies?

Draperies should clear the front and top of the heater by 6 inches. Draperies hung below the heater should have a 2.5 inch clearance.

DANGER

ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD

READ ALL WIRE SIZING, VOLTAGE REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY DATA TO AVOID PROPERTY DAMAGE AND PERSONAL INJURY

WARNING

It is extremely important to verify the electrical power supply is the same voltage as the heater being installed. 240 and 120 Volt heaters are not interchangeable. Powering a 240 Volt unit with 120 Volt supply wires will reduce heater output by approximately 75%. Powering a 120 Volt unit with 240 Volt supply wires will destroy the heater and voids all guarantee and warranties.

CAUTION: Turn off power source supplying heater before attempting any installation, maintenance or repairs. Lock or tag circuit breaker/fuse panel door. Failure to do so could result in serious electrical shock, burns or possible death.

WARNINGS: To insure proper operation of this heater it should be a minimum of 6 feet above the floor and no closer than 2½" below drywall ceiling (6" vinyl or drop ceilings). Draperies should clear the front and the top of this heater by 6". Draperies hung below the heater should have a 2½" clearance. Do not block the heater in any manner. Never paint the heater.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Following are some general guidelines:

• Do not recess this cove heater.
• Disconnect power at main panel.

• Make certain all wiring is in accordance with all local codes and units are properly grounded.

• Voltage rating of heater should be the same as supply load.

• Do not install the heater on vinyl wall coverings.

• Remove heater from carton. Disassemble the aluminum heating panel from the back support frame. Remove knock out in junction box for electrical supply connection. See Figure A & B.

• To install the back support frame on the wall, locate the studs in the wall and use existing mounting holes or pre-drill 3/16" holes as needed. Use appropriate fasteners to securely mount to wall. See Figure B.

Fig. A

1. Temporarily hang the aluminum heating panel from the top lip of both junction boxes. This will support the heater while the electrical connections are made and allow one person to wire the heater without having to hold the panel at the same time. See Figure C.

2. Connect the supply cable grounding wire to the green wire pigtail in wiring compartment.

3. Follow the desired wiring diagram, to connect the power supply to the heater using approved wire nuts.

Instructions for left or right side wiring

1. Heater can be wired from either side - wire one side only.
   Caution: Power wires should be connected on one side only.
   In the opposite junction box, connect the white and black element wires together using an approved wire nut. See Figures D and E.

Fig. C

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. After wiring is complete, carefully press the electrical wires into the junction box, making sure not to pinch any wires between the junction box and the heating panel.
2. Install the end caps: Push the bottom edge of the aluminum heating panel towards the back panel, while installing the end caps and lightly tighten the 2 screws to secure it. Do Not Overtighten, as the aluminum heating panel will expand and contract during heating, requiring it to move freely. See Figure F.
