User questions & answers

Question:	can this heater be aimed vertically ...ie have the fan blowing directly upward
Answer:	This can be used in a vertical position.
Question:	Does this have a tip-over shut-off protection feature
Answer:	It does not offer a tip over switch
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	Heater elements draw a lot of amps which will cause the circuit breaker to trip. Most likely you have other loads drawing amps on your circuit which is overloading
Question:	Can the temperature be set at a specific temperature (130 degrees
Answer:	1) I wish it could be set at one temp setting. It heats up to 174 F and then cycles off. I bought controls for mine, but I have not torn it apart to connect the controller.2) I have no idea as to the BTU's but its low. 1500W isn't much. It keeps my work space at 55 F when its in the teens outside.3) CFM is around 300 to 400. At 8' it feels like a strong draft.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the coils glow? i purchased one and returning it because the coils does not glow and it puts out a cool not hot air
Answer:	The coils do not glow at 1300 watts. I haven't tried it yet on 1500 watts. It doesn't seem to put out as much heat as I thought it would. Still evaluating.
Question:	Will this be sufficient for a small (4'X6') greenhouse during Norhwestern Oregon winters
Answer:	So your talking about winters that average a high of 40 during the day and a low of 20-30 at night? I think this heater would do the job. It's not the quietest space heater but it does a good job of kicking out heat. It would also depend on how well your greenhouse was insulated as well.

Answer:	12.5 Amps
Question:	prong or 3-prong plug

User questions & answers

Question:	Can heater be installed in floor
Answer:	The heater is designed to be installed in the wall 4" above the floor. It would not be recommended being installed in the floor.
Question:	I just received my new heater. Are the interior components supposed to be connected to the can with just one screw? It seems a bit insecure
Answer:	there are a couple tabs down on the bottom of the unit that hold that part in- seems to be solid
Question:	How do you wire this up for 250 or 500 watts? i only need it to pul between 250-500 as the space i am heating is small and power is very limted
Answer:	This can be wired for several wattages during installation, including 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250 and 1500 watts. Please see installation guide included with the heater for requirements.
Question:	How long do these typically last? i have an older dec2422 from 2009 that i may need to replace already
Answer:	I have five of these that I installed as part of room by room remodels starting in 1998-99, replacing old baseboard heaters. One is a 120v and the rest are this model. We vacuum them occasionally, and twice a year we pull the grills off and clean them more thoroughly. All but one are doing fine. The one that is starting to fail is in our main bathroom. We think it's failing due to all the moisture in there since we have three teens lined up every morning for hot showers. Even then, that one's lasted 14 or 15 years, and we're replacing it with another just like it as part of a larger remodel (along with better ventilation). All the other heaters are working fine, including the ones we bought in the late 90's. I'm happy with these heaters, and plan to stick with the King brand.

User questions & answers

Question:	I cannot hear or feel a difference on high (2) or low (1) fan speed. Do I have a defective unit
Answer:	It would depend what the amps/voltage of your current thermostat are. I would suggest purchasing with one of King's electric line voltage thermostats to get the full benefits of a ceramic baseboard heater. When combined with an electronic thermostat, you are able to feel comfortable at a lower thermostat setting which will help you save on your energy bill and enjoy reduced temperature swing.
Question:	Does this heater have an automatic shut-off if tipped over
Answer:	The major difference is in the heating element. The ceramic heating element has a ceramic core. The core holds heat, slowing the on/off cycling of the unit. The more expensive unit is a bit more rugged in construction. Both will provide the same heat for the same wattage; both should last a long time. Generally the cheaper heaters are used in apartments and commercial construction where every penny counts.
Question:	does anyone know the rough CFM of this fan
Answer:	You will need to install a thermostat (sold separately) to turn the unit on or off. The BKT1A/BKT1BW or BKT2A/BKT2BW are our baseboard thermostats which are designed to work with this model are offered in a single or double pole configuration and available in colors white and almond.
Question:	Does this have a grounded (3 prong) plug
Answer:	This heater does not have a running fan. It is designed to run quietly and efficiently using convection heat.
