Installation and Setup
IMPORTANT: Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all local and national electrical codes. Incorrect installation can lead to fire, electric shock, or injury.
- Choose Location: Select a wall location that is clear of obstructions and combustible materials. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the heater as specified in local codes and the heater's labeling. The heater is designed for indoor use.
- Prepare Wall Opening: Create a wall opening suitable for the heater's dimensions (refer to specifications). Ensure the opening is structurally sound to support the heater's weight.

Operating Instructions
The King W2020-W Electric Wall Heater features adjustable temperature control for personalized comfort.
- Turning On/Off: The heater is typically controlled by a wall-mounted thermostat (sold separately or integrated, depending on model variant). Turn the thermostat to the desired setting to activate the heater. Turn it to the lowest setting or "OFF" to deactivate.
- Adjusting Temperature: Rotate the thermostat dial (if present) or use the thermostat controls to set your preferred room temperature. The heater will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.
- Dual Wattage (if applicable): If your unit is wired for dual wattage, ensure the correct wattage (2000W or 1000W) is selected during installation based on your heating requirements. This setting is typically fixed during wiring and not user-adjustable during operation.
For optimal performance, avoid placing objects directly in front of the heater that could obstruct airflow.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures efficient and safe operation of your heater. Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker before performing any maintenance.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the heater and the grille with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the heater is completely dry before restoring power.
- Dust Removal: Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to gently remove dust and lint from the grille and internal components. Avoid touching the heating element.
- Inspection: Annually inspect the heater for any signs of damage, loose connections, or unusual wear. If any issues are found, contact a qualified technician for repair.
