Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and effective operation of your kickspace heater. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.

Location Requirements:

• Install the heater in a kickspace area, such as under a kitchen or bathroom cabinet, or in a stair riser.
• Ensure adequate clearance around the heater for proper airflow. Do not block the air intake or exhaust vents.
• The heater must be installed in a dry, indoor location.

Electrical Connection:

• The Dayton 2YV10 operates on 120V AC. Ensure the power supply matches the heater's requirements.
• Connect the heater to a dedicated, properly grounded circuit protected by a circuit breaker or fuse of appropriate rating (e.g., 15 Amp for 750W, 20 Amp for 1500W).
• All wiring must comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes.
• Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.

Mounting:

• Secure the heater firmly within the kickspace opening using appropriate fasteners.
• Ensure the front grille is flush with the cabinet or wall surface for optimal appearance and airflow.

Operating Instructions

The Dayton 2YV10 Kickspace Heater features a manual thermostat for temperature control and selectable wattage settings.

Power Settings:

• This heater offers two wattage settings: 750W and 1500W.
• Select the desired wattage based on the heating requirement and circuit capacity. The 1500W setting provides more heat output.

Manual Thermostat:

• Locate the manual thermostat control, typically a rotary knob, on the unit.
• Turn the knob clockwise to increase the desired temperature setting and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
• The heater will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.

Initial Operation:

• Upon first use, a slight odor may be present. This is normal and will dissipate quickly as the heater burns off manufacturing residues. Ensure adequate ventilation during initial operation.
• Allow the heater to operate for a few minutes to ensure proper function and heat output.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your Dayton 2YV10 Kickspace Heater.

Cleaning:

• Always disconnect the power supply to the heater before cleaning.
• Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces of the heater. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Periodically vacuum the air intake and exhaust grilles to remove dust and debris. Accumulated dust can impede airflow and reduce heating efficiency.
• Do not immerse the heater in water or allow water to drip into the interior.

Storage:
