Unpack & Inspect Your New Heater
Location of Heater
The heater should be installed out of the reach of persons. The
direction of air flow should not be restricted by machinery, beams,
etc., and the air flow should wipe exposed walls, rather than
blowing directly at them. When more than one heater is used in an
area, the heaters should be arranged so that the air discharge of
each heater supports the air flow of the others to provide best
circulation of warm air. (See Air Flow Chart)

verify the power supply voltage is the same as the
nameplatevoltageoftheheater. Improper installation
or failure to follow the procedures as outlined in this

and therfore must be derated by 20%. For example a 20 amp heating circuit
cannot have more than 16 amps of load connected. If heater is operated at
208V it will draw 13% less amps and produce 25% less wattage.
