SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please read all instructions before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product.

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,

and injury to persons, including the following:

• This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces.

• Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, etc. and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m)

from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.

• Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the heater is left

operating and unattended.

• Always turn off the power of heater when not in use.

• Do not operate any heater after it malfunctions. Disconnect power at the service panel and have the heater inspected

by a reputable electrician before reusing.

• Do not use outdoors.

• This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor locations. Never locate the heater

where it may fall into a bathtub or other water container.

• This heater is not suitable for use in corrosive atmospheres such as marine greenhouses or chemical storage areas.

• To disconnect the heater, turn off the controls and power to the heater circuit at the main disconnect panel.

• Heater air flow must be directed parallel to or away from the adjacent wall.

• Observe wall, floor and ceiling clearance requirements.

To express our appreciation, we are giving you a warranty extension. All you need to do is to register your new product

at https://www.turbro.com/warranty. After registration, you'll get a 1-year extension on the 1-year manufacturer warranty

for a total of 2 years. It's that easy!

When using this heater for the first time, or after a long period of storage. The product may produce a 'new product' smell.

Please turn on the heater and run it for at least 15 minutes at the maximum heat level to remove the smell. The smell will

dissipate after a few minutes of use.

Tip for First-Time Use

During the initial use of this heater, or after prolonged storage, it may produce fumes resulting from moisture and dust.

These fumes are not harmful and will dissipate within a few minutes. However, to prevent any distress to birds and small

pets who are sensitive to fumes, we advise against using the heater around them during this period.

PET OWNERS WARNING

• Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or

fire, or damage the heater.

• To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do not use it on soft surfaces, like a bed,

where openings may become blocked.

• Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire,

electric shock, or injury to persons.

• If you use the mounting bracket, make sure that both the mounting structure and anchoring hardware can reliably

support the weight of the heater.

• This heater may display ‘ER’ on screen which means the parts of the heater are getting excessively hot. Please turn off

the heater immediately and check for any objects on or near the heater that might be obstructing the airflow or causing

high temperatures.

DO NOT OPERATE THE HEATER WHEN DISPLAYING 'ER’ ON SCREEN.

Any attempt to disassemble or modify the product may cause damage.

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

This heater requires hardwire installation (no plug). The installation of this product must be carried out by a Certified

Electrician and in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.

• Use only copper wires rated for at least 167℉(75ºC).

• Connect to properly grounded outlets only.

• All wiring must be done according to national and local electrical codes in the United States and the heater must be

grounded as a precaution against possible electric shock. Heater circuit must be protected with proper fuses.

• All electrical power must be disconnected and the main service box must be locked before inspecting, cleaning or

servicing the heater. This is a precaution to prevent serious electric shock.

WARNING

Improper installation or failure to follow the procedures outlined in this instruction manual can result in serious electrical

shock.

• 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, as indicated in Figure 3.

Figure 3

INSTALLATION

Locate a ceiling joist or other firm structural element or support to mount the heater and point at the desired direction of

airflow.

A. Mount the bracket with the wood joist. Refer to Figures 4a and 4b.

1. Drill a 0.25” pilot hole in the wood joist for the 3/8” lag bolt(s).

2. Place the bolt(s) and washers as shown in the Figures 4a or 4b.

Figure 4a: For Single-Bolt Mounting (center bracket hole only).

(If you want to swivel the heater, a longer Lag bolt may be required to properly secure the heater. This bolt is ot included.)

run the wiring in conduit and want the flexibility to adjust the heater's position, make sure to purchase sufficient

flexible conduit that allows for easy turning of the heater.

3. Pull enough wire into the heater and connect the wire to the Power Block located in the electrical area of the heater

(See Figure 7).
