Wiring

The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, if an external electrical source is utilized. This appliance is equipped with a three-prong [grounding] plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. For an ungrounded receptacle, an adapter, which has two prongs and a wire for grounding, can be purchased, plugged into the ungrounded receptacle and its wire connected to the receptacle mounting screws. With this wire completing the ground, the appliance cord plug can be plugged into the adapter and be electrically grounded.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

WARNING:

Unplugging of blower accessory will not stop the heater from cycling. To shut heater off:

1. Turn temperature dial or thermostat to lowest setting.

2. Turn knob on gas control to “OFF”, depressing slightly. Do not force.

Cleaning

The blower wheel will collect lint and could require cleaning once a year. If the air output decreases or the noise level increases, it indicates a dirty wheel. Complete removal of the wheel and scrubbing it with a brush under flowing water is recommended.

Oiling

The blower motor has an oil hole located on each end of the motor. Use #20 motor oil only. It is best to oil the motor several times during the heating season using 2 or 3 drops each time. If the motor fails to start and hums, it could be a tight bearing due to lack of oil. This may be corrected by pouring kerosene in the oil holes, allowing to stand for a few hours and then oiling properly.
