King Electric Model KP - Manual (Page 2)

Operation
Set heater on a floor that is flat and level. Both feet need to lay flat on the floor for proper safe operation.
1. Locate heater near the coldest part of the room like a window, No cords or other items should touch heaters surface.
2. Plug heater into a good quality grounded outlet and turn thermostat up until it clicks which indicates it is heating.
3. A protective coating on the element will create some visible smoke for a few minutes this is normal, pre-running the
heater for 30 minutes outside in a covered dry protected area may be a better option if smoke alarms could become
a nuisance or automatically call the fire department.
4. Feel plug and receptacle after 15 to 30 minutes of operation and continue to monitor for any hot to the touch over-
heating.
5. Make sure the circuit is rated for the added load of this heater. Never add two of any type electric heaters to one
receptacle or circuit. If cord gets hot at plug end have a qualified Electrician change the receptacle to a higher quality
stronger plug clamping force receptacle. Discontinue use until proper receptacle is installed if hot or warm to the
touch.
6. Do not coil the cord up when running heater, lay cord out flat and do not cover cord with anything including throw
rugs. Covering or coiling the cord increases the heat of the cord and will melt the cord and possibly start a fire.
7. A mechanical tip over switch is part of the safe operation of this heater and will turn off the heater if it is tipped. Do
not by pass this safety device in any manor.
8. A linear high limit senses an over heat condition if the heater is blocked and will turn it off until a lower temperature
is reached and then turn back on. This is an auto sensing device so you should monitor this heater to prevent acci-
dental blockage of any type.
11. Thermostat is mounted in the junction box of this heater and can be adjusted to a comfort level. Temperature range
is from 40° F to 90°F
12. There are no user serviceable parts in this heater.
Note: Smoking and candles that are burned in the same room as this heater will cause discoloration to the finish.
