If the heater over temperature limits trips more than once per day, the heater must be replaced. Clean the heater at least every six months.

After allowing the heater to cool, turn the power off at the circuit breaker panel before removing the grill.
Use a hair dryer or vacuum on the blow cycle to blow debris through the top element (do not touch the element).
Install the grill before turning on the power.

WARNING:
Any other service not detailed in this Owner’s Guide should be performed by an authorized service representative

How to operate your heater
The room temperature is controlled by a line voltage thermostat located either on the wall or at the lower loft on the heater (See Page 1; In-built Thermostat).

Once installation is complete and power has been restored, turn the thermostat knob fully clockwise.

When the room reaches your comfort level, turn the thermostat knob counterclockwise until the heater turns off. The heater will automatically cycle around this preset temperature.
To reduce the room temperature, turn the knob counterclockwise. To increase the room temperature, turn the knob clockwise.

Over Temperature-Limiting Controls
If normal operating temperatures are exceeded (due to abnormal circumstances), the heater has two temperature-limiting controls (for Model CST, four controls are used). Both limiting controls are located on the element assembly. The first is a manual power reset limit control, designed to open the heater circuit when excessive operating temperatures are detected. The problem must be assessed and the limit must be reset to resume operation. Further protection is provided by a secondary over-temperature fuse, which will open the heater circuit in severe over-temperature conditions, or in the event of component failure. If this occurs, the heater must be repaired or replaced.

Resetting the Manual Power Reset Limit Control.

If the manual power reset limit has opened the heater circuit due to excessive operating temperatures, the heater will not work until it is reset. This can be done at the thermostat or the circuit breaker controlling the heater.

To Reset the Heater at the Thermostat

Lower the temperature on the thermostat below room temperature.

Allow the unit to cool for at least 20 minutes.
Resolve the problem causing the limit to trip (typically the heater is blocked or needs cleaning, see Maintenance Instructions).
Raise the temperature on the thermostat back above room temperature. The heater should come back on. If it does not come back on, reset the heater at the circuit breaker, using the directions below. An additional 20-minute waiting period is required every time the power is turned off. Restoring power, even briefly, will heat the limit even though the heater does not come on.

The heater is now functional and the thermostat can be reset to your comfort level

To Reset the Heater at the Circuit Breaker (recommended
if room temperature is below 45 °)

Trip the breaker by switching it to the OFF position.

Allow the unit to cool for at least 20 minutes.
Resolve the problem causing the limit to trip (typically the heater is blocked or needs cleaning, see Maintenance Instructions).
Restore power to the heater by switching the breaker to the ON position.

Raise the temperature on the thermostat above room temperature. The heater should come back on. An additional 220-minute waiting period is required every time the power is turned off. Restoring power, even briefly, will heat the limit even though the heater does not come on.
The heater is now functional and the thermostat can be reset to your comfort level.

Note
that resetting the manual power reset control may not restore heater operation if a severe over-temperature condition has occurred. See the Troubleshooting Guide on the next page for more information.

Troubleshooting Chart

CONSULT LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES TO DETERMINE WHAT WORK MUST BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL SERVICE PERSONNEL

Symptom	Problem	Solution
The breaker trips immediately upon energy- the heater.	1. Incorrect supply voltage.* 2. Overloaded circuit.* 3. A short circuit exists in the supply or heater wiring.* 4. Defective circuit breaker.*	1. Verify that the supply voltage matches the heater rating. 2. The total amperage of all heaters on a branch circuit must not be more than 80% of the amperage rating of the circuit breaker and supply wire ratings. Use a lower-wattage heater, or reduce the number of heaters on the circuit. 3. Shorted supply or heater wires may be accompanied by severe sparking. Inspect all supply and heater wiring insulation for damage. Do not reset the circuit breaker until all electrical shorts have been repaired. 4. Replace the circuit breaker.
The heater fan operates but does not discharge warm air.	1. Insufficient element temperature. 2. Incorrect supply voltage.* 3. Element has failed.* 4. (Model CST only) One of the heater units over temperature controls must be reset.	1. Allow a few moments for the element to reach operating temperature. 2. Verify that the supply voltage matches the heater rating. 3. Replace element. 4. CST models have two heating units with independent over-temperature controls. One of the high-temperature manual power reset controls may trip and cut power to one of the heating units, while the other remains running, resulting in only half output. Reset the heater unit (see “Operating” section for “Resetting the Manual Power Reset Limit Control”).
The heater will not shut off.	1. Heat loss from the room is greater than heater capacity.* 2. Defective thermostat. 3. The thermostat is wired incorrectly to the heater.*	1. Close doors and windows. Provide additional insulation, or install a higher wattage heater or multiple heaters if necessary. (If your circuit is rated for more capacity.) 2. Adjust the thermostat to its lowest setting. If the heater continues to run (allow two minutes for the thermostat to respond), and the room temperature is greater than 50˚; replace the thermostat. 3. Refer to thermostat documentation and correct wiring.
The heater discharges smoke or emits a burnt odor.	1. Dust, lint, or other matter has accumulated inside the heater. 2. Poor or loose electrical connections.	1. Clean the heater (see “Maintenance” section above for instructions). 2. Turn off the power at the circuit breaker. Inspect all supply and heater wire connections to make sure nothing is loose or poorly connected. Secure or reconnect all loose connections. Do not reset the circuit breaker until all connections have been checked and repaired.
Element heats for a moment without the fan turning, then immediately stops heating.	1. Defective motor or internal connection.* 2. Fan or motor jammed.	1. The heater or fan motor requires replacement. 2. Remove obstruction and follow instructions in the “Operating” section for “Resetting the Manual Power Reset Limit Control.” Test heater operation. If the heater does not run, the heater requires repair or replacement.
The heater does not run.	1. The thermostat is set too low. 2. The heater has tripped the power reset high-temperature control. 3. The heater has tripped secondary care over-temperature fuse. 4. Power is not on at the circuit breaker. 5. Broken or poorly connected wire(s) to heater. 6. Defective thermostat.	1. Adjust the thermostat to a higher temperature until the heater operates (see Problem #6 if the problem persists). 2. Follow the instructions in the “Operating” section for “Resetting the Manual Pow- er Reset Limit Control.” If the room temperature is below 45˚, see the “Reset Heater at the Circuit Breaker” instructions. 3.
