KING ELECTRICAL LPW2045C (01) PDF MANUAL

Power must be brought to the heater first, not to the wall mounted or remote thermostat. This is necessary to provide power for the fan to cool down the element after the thermostat has opened.

It is extremely important to verify that the electrical power supply is the same voltage as the heater you are installing. 208 / 240 / 277 and 120 Volt heaters are not interchangeable! Powering a 208 / 240 / 277 Volt unit with 120 Volt supply wires will reduce the heater’s output by approximately 75%. Powering a 120 Volt unit with 208 / 240 / 277 Volt supply wires will destroy the heater and voids all warranties.

Open the circuit breaker supplying the heater before attempting installation, maintenance, or repairs. Lock or tag circuit breaker panel door. Failure to do so could result in serious electrical shock, burns, or possible death.

1. Remove heater contents from carton.

2. Remove grille by loosening the four mounting screws along the sides of the front panel.

3. Detach interior assembly from the ceiling case by removing the four screws along each side of the interior panel. Lift and tilt assembly away from the top of the ceiling case. Free the bottom edge from the metal lip inside the ceiling case. Place the interior assembly in a safe location until the ceiling case is mounted.

4. Mount heater enclosure can on ceiling joists a minimum of 6″ from side wall, using the holes provided in the sides of the case. The face of the case should be flush with the finished ceiling surface. Installation of the interior and grille to the ceiling case will cover an approximate 1/2″ periphery along the outer area of the opening.

6. After the ceiling case is secured, interior assembly leads may be attached to supply wires and the interior secured to the ceiling case.

7. Reinstall interior assembly on ceiling case using screws provided.

8. Mount grille to interior with screws provided.

9. Installation is now complete and the heater is ready for use.

Mount heater wall installation case on wall studs a minimum of 6″ from side wall or open edge of a door and a minimum of 4″ from floor (10″ recommended), using the holes provided in the sides of the case. The face of the case should be flush with the finished wall. Installation of the interior and grille to the ceiling case covers an approximate 5/8″ periphery along the outer area of the opening.

Use a single pole line voltage wall thermostat or switch only to control this heater.

The heater is shipped from the factory wired for a maximum wattage of 4500 Watts. To adjust the heater for lower wattages, remove the appropriate colored wire by unplugging (disconnecting) an insulated push-on terminal and wrapping it with electrical tape to prevent the possibility of electrical contact with other parts. The available wattages in one unit include 2250, 2750, 3000, 3250, 3750, 4000, and 4500 Watts.

The wire color coding for disconnecting elements is as follows:

Once yearly the heater should be checked for lint or dust accumulation, but no further maintenance is required. The motor is permanently lubricated and sealed.

The light may illuminate periodically during normal operation for 10 to 45 seconds. This flashing is not a hazard.

If the light stays on steadily for 1 to 5 minutes, an over-temperature condition probably exists and the heater should be examined. This heater includes a visual alarm to warn that parts of the heater are getting excessively hot. If the alarm flashes, immediately turn the heater off and inspect for any objects on or adjacent to the heater that may cause high temperatures.
