IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Heater Assembly

1. After removing the heater from its carton, carefully inspect

it for possible shipping damage. Return damaged units to

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

This heater is a major electrical appli-

ance and requires adequate electrical power. The outlet to

which this heater is connected must be a 120 volt (AC) circuit

protected by a 15 or 20 amp fuse or circuit breaker. No other

major electrical appliance should be operated in the same circuit

as the heater.

Care must be given in locating and using the heater to avoid

blocking the heater in any way to allow air to flow freely through

the heater. Keeping the heater clean will also help improve the

efficiency and prevent overheating.

WARNING:

The heater plug must fit tightly into outlet. A loose

fitting or worn outlet may allow for the plug connection to heat,

damage to the plug and/or outlet and may cause a fire. If outlet

is loose or worn, discontinue using heater until the outlet can be

replaced.

SPECIAL NOTE:

You may notice a new smell coming from

your heater during initial use. It should go away within the first

few hours of operation. You may also notice it does not heat up

immediately. Because of the special tubular element design, it

takes a few minutes before you can feel the warmth through the

cabinet.

1. Never place anything on top of the heater. It is recommend-

ed that a space of at least 12 inches (30 mm) be maintained

around the heater.

2. When moving heater, turn heater controls to LO or ON-OFF

switch to OFF and remove plug from outlet. Allow heater to

cool and then pick up by grasping heater cabinet along top

and back side.

3. Do not allow heater to operate in any position except as

shown in this manual.

Heater Operation

1. Heater must be properly installed before operation.

2. The FBE15002 is provided with a POSITIVE OFF thermo-

stat. In addition to the thermostat, the FBE15002 has a

LO/HI heat selection switch.

3. Operation:

a. Plug heater power supply into 120 volt outlet.

b. Move heat selection switch to the left position for LO

(1000 watts) or to the right for HI (1500 watts).

c. Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise until it stops.

4. Allow the heater to operate normally until the room tempera-

ture is comfortable to you. Then simply rotate the thermostat

knob to the left until the thermostat clicks. The thermostat

will then automatically turn your heater on and off to maintain

the room temperature.

5. To adjust the room temperature, rotation of the thermostat

knob to the right will increase the heater output while rotation

of the thermostat knob to the left will decrease the output.

The numbers on the thermostat knob are for reference only

and may help you in setting and adjusting the heater output

for your comfort.

6. To turn heater off, rotate the thermostat knob to the left until

it stops. Always unplug heater when not in use.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

For efficient and safe operation and to extend the life of your

heater it should be cleaned and inspected for damage at least

annually (preferably at the beginning of the heater season) or

more often in dirty environments. Other than cleaning, your

heaters require no other preventative maintenance.

1. Heater cabinet may be cleaned using a damp cloth to

remove dust that may have accumulated on surfaces. Do

not use harsh cleaners and waxes on surfaces since these

could damage the finish or discolor in use.

2. A vacuum cleaner and / or compressed air may be used to

remove dust and lint that may have accumulated inside

heater around element fins.

3. After cleaning and servicing, check units to make sure they

are operating properly.

THERMAL SAFETY SWITCH:

Your heater is provided with an

automatic-resetting thermal safety switch that will disconnect

power to the heating element should the heater be placed into

an abnormal condition (such as a blockage) to prevent a fire.

When the heater cools, the safety switch will reset allowing the

heater to return to normal operation.

FINS MAY CAUSE CUTS, DO NOT TOUCH

TO PREVENT A POSSIBLE ELECTRIC SHOCK, ALWAYS

UNPLUG HEATER FROM OUTLET BEFORE CLEANING OR

SERVICING.

ALLOW HEATER TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING TO
