Operating Instructions
Once properly installed and connected to power, the KING W2420-W Wall Heater is ready for operation. This heater requires an external thermostat for temperature control.
- Power On: Ensure the circuit breaker supplying power to the heater is in the "ON" position.

- Initial Operation: During the first few minutes of operation, the heater may emit a slight odor. This is normal and will dissipate quickly as manufacturing oils burn off.
- Airflow: Do not obstruct the air intake or exhaust grilles. Maintain clear space around the heater for optimal performance and safety.
The patented Smart Limit Protection technology will automatically shut off the heater if it senses potential hazards such as a clogged element or blocked airflow, ensuring safe operation.
