3.3 Electrical Connection

WARNING: All electrical wiring must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with all national and local electrical codes.

• Ensure the main power supply to the circuit is turned OFF at the breaker panel before beginning any wiring.
• Connect the heater to a dedicated 240-volt, 30-amp circuit.
• Use appropriate gauge wiring for 240V applications (e.g., 10-gauge wire for a 30-amp circuit).
• Follow the wiring diagram provided inside the heater's electrical compartment cover.
• Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
• Replace the electrical compartment cover before restoring power.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Powering On/Off

• After installation and electrical connection are complete, turn on the circuit breaker supplying power to the heater.
• Locate the main power switch on the heater's control panel. Set it to the 'ON' position.
• To turn off the heater, set the main power switch to the 'OFF' position. For extended periods of non-use, it is recommended to turn off the circuit breaker.

4.2 Setting Heat Output

The heater offers two heat output settings:

• 3000 Watts: Provides approximately 10,236 BTUs of heat.
• 5000 Watts: Provides approximately 17,065 BTUs of heat.

Select the desired heat output using the switch on the control panel. The 5000W setting will provide faster heating for larger spaces or colder conditions.

4.3 Thermostat Control

The integrated thermostat controls the ambient temperature. To set the desired temperature:

1. Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the maximum setting. The heater will begin to operate.
2. Once the room reaches a comfortable temperature, slowly turn the thermostat knob counter-clockwise until the heater turns off.
3. The heater will now cycle on and off automatically to maintain the set temperature.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your heater. Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker before performing any maintenance.

5.1 Cleaning

• Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Air Intake/Outlet: Periodically inspect the air intake (rear grille) and air outlet (front louvers) for dust and debris accumulation. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to gently remove any buildup.
• Internal Components: Do not attempt to clean internal components unless you are a qualified service technician. Dust accumulation on heating elements can reduce efficiency and pose a fire hazard.
