Cord Preparation for Chromalox Portable Heaters
3. Slide fitting onto cord and tighten knurled nut to secure fitting
to cord.
1. Determine the gage and number of conductors from the tabu-
lation below using amps and phase from the heater nameplate.
It is not recommended that cord exceed 50 feet in length.
4. Select plug to match electrical rating of cord.
5. On opposite end of cord prepare end as directed by instructions
that are provided with the plug.

OPERATION
The adjustment knob controls power to the heater and fan when
turned further in the clockwise direction, with the highest tempera-
ture setting in the extreme clockwise position.
The temperature setting in the heater mode is approximately
40°F in the low setting and 100°F at the highest setting.
Note: The adjustment knob should be turned to the fan only set-
ting after use for heating. The fan should be left on for at least 3
minutes to remove residual heat from the unit and to prevent over-
heating of the housing.
THERMOSTAT
Heaters include a bimetal thermostat for the automatic control
of the exiting air temperature. The thermostat knob controls the
heating elements and fan functions. The heater and fan are de-
energized with the knob in the extreme clockwise position.
Turning the knob clockwise from the off position to the fan
position will energize the fan only, for use in summer cooling.
