THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
If heater fails to operate when thermostat is turned to its high-
est setting: Turn power off at service entrance. Remove grille
and press button marked "RESET".

cleaner. Remove large accumulations of dust, lint, etc., that
might impede the flow of air through the heater. Such block-
age will lower its efficiency and create a possible over-heat-
ing condition.

household window cleaner.

NEVER BE IMMERSED IN WATER.
1. Attach grille.
Fasten grille to heater with two (2) screws from parts bag.
2. Check operation.
Turn on power at service entrance. Turn thermostat to its
highest setting and make sure heating element and blower
come on. Then turn it to its lowest setting and make sure
element and blower shut off.
