READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING HEATER
Unit may be a source of possible shock. NEVER attempt to service heater without disconnecting its power source.
Source of possible ignition - maintain clearances from combustible materials.
WARNING: If not installed, operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, this
product can expose you to chemicals including nickel, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer.
For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
High Temperature, risk of re, keep electrical cords, drapery, furnishings and other combustibles at least 3' [0.9m]
from the front of heater and away from sides and rear.
▪ Wall-Mounting: Do not install heater closer than 18" [45.7 cm] from adjacent walls and 6" [15.2 cm] from ceiling
and do not install less than 8' [2.4 m] from oor.
▪Ceiling-Mounting: Do not install heater closer than 18" [45.7 cm] from adjacent walls and 6" [15.2 cm] from
ceiling and do not install less than 8' [2.4 m] from oor.
- For heater angled greater than 30° from horizontal, use spacers above mounting brackets to provide
minimum 6” [15.2 cm] clearance above heater to combustible ceiling.
▪ Adjacent Heaters to be installed no less than 3' [0.9 m] apart.
▪ Do NOT operate within 25' [7.6 m] of ammable/explosive material.
▪Never block heater.
▪ Heaters greater than 240 Volts are for “Commercial Use Only. Risk of re. Do not use as a residential or
household heater.”
▪A means for disconnection of the appliance must be incorporated in accordance with local wiring codes.
▪Do not use if the heating element is damaged or cracked.

Disconnect the power at the breaker. Remove the grill by grasping it in the middle, ex grill up and lift it off.
Unscrew and remove both end reectors. Unhook element clips at each end of the heater and remove nuts from
end of element to remove the existing Quartz. Carefully install the new element. Remove one nut from end of the
new element. Install wire by sliding high temperature ring terminal onto element screw and replace nut. Use a thin
11/32" wrench to hold inside nut. Nuts must make a tight connection. Close element clips over tube, reinstall end
reectors, then snap protective grill back in place.
NOTE: Hold ceramic element rmly while
tightening nut to prevent damage to element.
Nut should be tightened snug. A loose
connection can cause the element to short
or fail prematurely.

GENERAL NOTES
electricSchwank [ES/ESD] and EL/ELD Series heaters are furnished with wall/ceiling mount swivel brackets.
These brackets may be discarded when the heater is suspended with chains, or other special bracketing.
See 'Specications' page 2 for full listing of models, voltages, and amperages. At times, especially when the
mounting height might be quite low, a greater quantity of smaller heaters can help prevent overheating.
Heaters up to 15 AMPS can be controlled with a simple INF controller. This low cost controller, which is actually
an innite switch, gently pulses the heat on and off at regular intervals when not on full power.
Dual Element Heaters can be wired with Duplex/Stack Switch, which enables the ability to operate each element
independently, providing for two-stage [half power/full power] capability.
For best comfort heat, heat from two sides rather than from just one side. However, there are site conditions where
this is not practical.
Coverage areas indicated above are typical approximate dimensions and will vary depending on outdoor
temperature, wind velocity, and personal comfort levels.
Indoor and well-protected environments will generally exceed the average chart values. Heaters will provide less
than average coverage in extremely cold/windy conditions.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Before performing any maintenance or cleaning, power must be disconnected and the heater cool to touch.
Heater housing, reectors, and heating element can be rinsed with a hose or wiped down with isopropyl
alcohol, acetone, or glass cleaner. Use a clean, scratch-free rag or paper towel. Any oxidation, surface rust, or
discoloration can be removed with a stainless steel cleaner or metal polish on the bare metal surface.
Make sure all water, solvents, or cleaners are removed and the heater is dry before reconnecting the power.

PROBLEM
Heater does not glow
Low heat output
Heater does not work
WHAT TO DO
TROUBLESHOOTING
Unless heaters are installed over 12' [3.7 m] high, it is generally recommended that all radiant heaters be mounted
on an angle to assure that radiant warmth is distributed from the sides rather than straight down on the heads and
shoulders of the people being warmed.
Install xture to heat the area from the “cold side” if possible.
This helps compensate for increased body heat losses due
to exposure. Warm oors reradiate heat. Warmer air rises
from oor. Some heat reects from oor. Mounting a heater
directly over a table or other
obstruction will block the
energy, primarily heating
the object. It is best to move
heater to the side, allowing
complete body and oor
coverage.
When outdoors, hang heater under protective roof or weather cover whenever
possible. Even though heater is all-weather construction, it will last longer and look
better if it is protected from rain and snow.
Angle xture 30º to 60º from horizontal face
down. Best angle is approximately 45º.
LOCATION SUGGESTIONS
OUTDOORS
INSTALLATION DIRECTIONRECOMMENDED POSITIONING
▪Check supply voltage to conrm it matches voltage of heating element.
▪A 240V element connected to 110V or 208V will warm, but not glow orange
or generate sufcient heat for typical applications [Matching your voltage is
extremely important]. If element is visibly orange, but there is insufcient
heat, refer to the areas covered with respect to conditions and mounting heights.
▪Replace or clean dirty or non reective reectors.
▪Disconnect power and check element with ohm meter for continuity. If there is
any continuity across the bulb, the problem is in the wiring/controls.
▪Check that there is proper voltage to the heater.
▪Check that the control/switch is working.
▪Check main power circuit breaker.
▪Check wiring for a loose connection or burned wire.
