CONTROL WIRING
Connect thermostat to terminals R and W for heating, R and G for air only. This can be done with a single stage heat-
cool thermostat or a single stage heat-only thermostat and a separate fan-only switch to control the fan-relay (optional)
installed on furnaces. Some models of furnace have two stage operation (optional) and are provided with terminals W1
and W2. If a single stage thermostat is used it should be connected to terminals R and W1 and a jumper wire installed
form terminals W1 to W2 (see enclosed control circuit wiring diagram). Some models of furnace have the 24 VAC power
available between terminal C and R for use with external air conditioning relay option. Never short or cross these two
terminals! The transformer will fail.

OPERATION
When control thermostat is turned up to demand heat the blower and heating elements should be energized. Furnaces
with sequences installed will have up to 30 seconds delay in start-up. When turned to cool position heat-cool thermostats
should bring on the blower only for air only.

MAINTENANCE

"CAUTION" Disconnect power at the main service panel before inspecting or cleaning this heater.

Lock or Tag breaker to prevent accidental shock.

Because of its rugged design, superior engineering and quality craftsmanship the King KFUH Unit Heater requires
little maintenance. With minimum care your electric heater should last a lifetime. King recommends changing the air
intake filter at least twice a year and checking the motor and blower for excessive dust / lint accumulation to maintain
the efficiency of the heater. While King recommends the filter be changed twice a year, your environment may require
more frequent changes.
