Description – Fostoria portable and suspended electric heaters provide clean, quiet, odor-free, fan-forced heat. They are
designed to circulate room air continuously; gradually heating a confined space. The best results will be obtained when using these
heaters in smaller, insulated spaces. Features include a safety-yellow enclosure with front and rear safety screens; reliable stainless
steel finned heating elements; a high-limit temperature switch with automatic reset; an automatic thermostat control with fan-only
option; and a long-life motor and fan assembly with sealed bearings. The portable (FES) models come mounted on a two-wheele
d
cart with wheels designed to be easily pushed or pulled over uneven surfaces.

The range receptacle you choose to use may have
a
blade configuration compatible with the plug shown
in fig. 2 (3-wire circuit). This is an older branch
circuit design that does not include a separate
equipment grounding conductor (green wire). The
configuration in fig. 1 has been implemented o
n
newer branch circuit installations for increase
d
safety, and is now the required circuit configuratio
n
by the National Electric Code. Changing a 3-wire
branch circuit and receptacle to 4-wire design may
involve changes to your range and must only be done
by
a licensed electrician.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
