WARNING

Improper installation or failure to follow the procedures

outlined in this instruction manual can result in serious electrical shock.

LOCATING HEATER

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

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 off 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.

INSTRUCTIONS IN NORMAL MODE

POWER INDICATOR YELLOW	The power indicator lights up when the product is powered on.
CAUTION INDICATOR RED	When the internal temperature of the product is too high and the temperature limiter is disconnected, the fault lamp lights up
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 III 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.

The CAUTION indicator is on: In this case, immediately turn the heater OFF and inspect for any objects on or adjacent to the heater that may cause high temperatures. DO NOT OPERATE THE HEATER WITH THE CAUTION INDICATOR GLOWING RED.

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.
