Heater Location Instructions:Arrange the heater so the hot discharge air is:1. Free of interference from any items that could block or disrupt theairflow reaching the farthest point of the area being heated.2. Direct the airflow along the coldest part of the garage area withoutblowing the heat directly at the wall or warming the items in any way.Typically a distance of 3 to 4 feet is away from walls or cabinets isacceptable.3. Do not blow directly on stationary people in the room or workareas.4. Smaller rooms will be comfortably heated with one unit. Largerrooms may require multiple heaters Moves the air in a circular, wallwiping pattern around the room. This configuration aids in pre-heating the incoming air of the next heater and will raise the roomtemperature faster. See Fig 3.4 and 3.5Thermostat:The inbuilt thermostat has a range of 40 to 90 degrees F and whenset will keep the room at a comfortable temperature. We recommendexperimenting with settings to determine ideal room temperaturewhile occupied and unoccupied. Once those ideals are identified,mark the settings on the label with a felt tip marker.If a remote line voltage thermostat is used it should be rated forhigher than the amp load of the heater connected.
