Frequently Asked Questions - WSC1215-T-B KING

Can I leave the heater unattended?

It is not recommended to leave any heater unattended. Always turn off and unplug when leaving the room.

How do I clean the heater?

Unplug the heater. Clean the exterior with a soft damp cloth. Remove and wash the air filter with mild soap and water; let it dry completely before reinstalling.

What does the tip-over switch do?

The tip-over switch automatically shuts off the heater if it is accidentally knocked over, preventing fire hazards.

Why does the heater turn off by itself?

This could be due to the overheat protection activating. Ensure the heater is on a stable surface and the air intake is not blocked. If it persists, contact customer support.

Can I use an extension cord?

It is not recommended. The heater draws high current; if unavoidable, use a heavy-duty cord rated for at least 15 amps and keep it fully uncoiled.

How do I adjust the temperature?

Turn the thermostat dial to the desired setting. The heater will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.

Is the heater safe for use in a bathroom?

No, this heater is not designed for damp or wet locations. It should be kept away from water and moisture.

Does the heater produce any odor?

A slight odor may occur during initial use due to dust burning off. This is normal and will dissipate. If odor persists, clean the filter.

How do I store the heater?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Clean the filter and ensure the unit is completely cool before storing.

Where can I find spare parts?

Contact KING customer service via the number provided in the manual or visit the official website for spare parts availability.

1. Install wallbox a minimum of 6" from vertical sidewalls and 4" above floor. The front edge of wall can MUST extend 1/2" beyond finished wall surface.
2. Secure wallbox to the 2 x 4 studs using the two (2) holes on the side of the wallbox. Secure to wall stud on opposite side if required.
3. Connect supply wires, attach ground feed wire to the green ground wire with wire nuts.
4. Reinstall heater assembly into wallbox with screw at top of interior.

6. Test unit by turning thermostat up past room temperature. You will see a puff of smoke as the elements are energized and the fan turns on. This is a normal burn off of manufacturing lubricants and will dissipate in 5 minutes.
7. Heater will continue to run until the room temperature you set is reached and then turn itself off until the temperature drops again.

CAUTION - High temperature. Risk of fire, keep electrical cords, drapery, furnishings, and other combusti-

A bles at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater as well as away from the side and rear. To reduce the risk of fire, do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the heater.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

W Series Heater

king

This heater is equipped with a thermal overload Smart Limit Protection which disconnects elements and motor in the event normal operating temperatures are exceeded. If thermal overload trips due to abnormal operating temperatures, thermal overload shall remain open until manually reset by turning the heater OFF for fifteen minutes. Inspect for any objects on or adjacent to the heater that may cause high temperatures. After inspecting the heater, keep the power to the heater off for 10 minutes to reset the SLP thermal protector. If the SLP thermal protector shuts the heater off again, immediately turn the heater OFF at the circuit breaker and inspect the heater for possible fan motor failure or dirt and lint on the heating element. Repeat the starting procedure. DO NOT TAMPER OR REMOVE THIS THIS DEVICE.

General information and Guidelines:

This heater must be properly installed before it is used. DO NOT tamper with or change the operating of this heater. Service Personnel refer to Maintenance & Warranty section for service of any type.

Operation:

1. This heater must be properly installed in accordance

with the National Electrical Codes (NEC) & local electrical codes before it is used.

1. After the electric heater has been completely installed, all thermostats should be turned to LOW or NO HEAT. Turn ON breakers, wait 3 to 5 minutes and check to see that the heaters are not operating. If operating, disconnect power and check for improper wiring. If none are operating then turn thermostats to highest position and wait 3 to 5 minutes. Check to see that all heaters are operating. Should any not be operating, disconnect power and check wiring.
2. Allow entire system to operate steadily for 1/2 hour. This should remove oily residue from manufacturing. (Some smoking may occur).
3. Select the setting for comfort on all thermostats.
4. A safety limit control is provided to turn off the heater automatically if it is blocked or otherwise overheats due to an abnormal condition. DO NOT bypass or remove this safety device from the electrical circuit-see Warning Figure 3 on page 2. During normal use, this safety control should not operate. If you find that this control is operating, make sure the heater is not being blocked. If it continues to cycle the heater off, disconnect power to heater and have it checked and repaired by a qualified electrician.

SYMPTOM PROBLEM	SOLUTION
Breaker Trips 1. Short Circuit2. Overloaded Circuit3. Improper Voltage		1. Find source of short. Trace heater circuit and verify the heater is wire properly.2. Reduce wattage in circuit. Refer to circuit sizing table for maximum wattage.3. Verify the heater voltage matches the supply voltage.
Heater not working 1. No Power2. Loose Connections3. Defective Limit		1. Turn Breaker ON, turn thermostat ON, check that the breaker is position properly on panel bus-bar. A 2-Pole breaker must be connected to both bus-bars (A&B phase) to produce 240V power.2. Tighten wire connections.3. By-pass the limit to test. If heater works, replace the limit.
Heater Smokes 1. Oil on Element2. Needs Cleaning		1. It is normal for the element to burn off some light finishing oil used in the manufacturing process when first energized. Open windows and allow room to vent until it stops, usually within a few minutes.2. Remove any dust or dirt accumulations.
Room Temperature does not match thermostat setting	1. Thermostat affected by another heat source.2. Improper calibration	1. Sunlight or other heat sources can affect the thermostat. Move the thermo stat to another location or remove the heat source.2. Remove cover and adjust calibration screw.
Room Temperature swings from too hot to too cold	1. Defective or low quality thermostat	1. Replace with a better quality thermostat. Anticipated thermostats are fairly accurate; an electronic thermostat is best.

Maintenance & Warranty

Maintenance & Cleaning: Basic maintenance is listed below and should be performed annually. When necessary, any required servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel. Your heater will give you years of service and comfort with only minimum care. To assure efficient operation follow the simple instructions below.

WARNING: Turn the electrical power OFF at the electrical panel board (circuit breaker or fuse box) and lock or tag this panel board door to prevent someone from turning on power while you are working on this heater. Failure to do so could result in serious electrical shock, burns, or possible death.

Before cleaning this heater, the heating element of the heater must be cool. Figure 2

1. Before removing grille, turn the electrical power OFF. Circuit breakers are often not marked correctly and turning the wrong breaker off could mean electricity is flowing to the heater, even if the heater does not appear to be working. If you are uncomfortable working with electrical appliances, unable to follow these guidelines, or do not have the necessary equipment, consult a qualified electrician. Once you verify the power is off completely, proceed to the next step.
2. Remove screws and take off grille. Wash grille with hot soapy water and dry immediately
3. Using a hair dryer or vacuum on blow cycle, hold the fan in place to prevent it from turning and blow debris back through the element. Do not touch element. Vacuum lose debris without touching the elements.
4. Replace grille and secure with screws.
5. Turn thermostat to desired setting.
6. Turn power back ON at the electrical panel board.
