Questions and Answers for Stiebel Eltron Wall-Mounted Electric Fan Heater

A:  The electrical cord enters from the back of the unit, upper part of the unit in the center. You could possibly slide the cord behind it but it would be better to go directly into the back of the unit. If you have specific questions, please feel free to call Technical Support at 1-800-582-8423 Ext 6 Thank you.

A:  Yes The CK 15E is a 120 Volt unit

A:  No, that would require redesigning the whole unit. The convection heaters have the discharge grill on the top if that helps you. Not a fan heater though.

A:  The main office would be the only place to get parts. If you didn't get them, we can send them to you. Please call our office at 1-800-582-8423 ext 6 so we can get your name, address and phone number to send them to you. Thank you.

A:  Yes, this has a thermostat.

A:  Yes, it's a thermostatic switch that will turn it off when all the way down, until the temperature reaches 40 degrees and then the freeze control circuit turns it on automatically.

A:  This unit is intended to be "hardwired" and should be on its own circuit at your breaker panel

A:  does this heater connect to electrical outlet NO HARD WIRING NEEDED

A:  You'll need to hard wire it with minimum 12 gauge wire and a new dedicated 15 Amp circuit breaker. If you're not a electrician you will need one.

A:  The electric fan heater has to be hard wired.

A:  No, it hangs on the upper bracket.

A:  You can call Stiebel Elton at 413-247-3380.

A:  I think it would work great for your needs. It made my area nice and toasty and is 198sqft. BTW 12'x12' is 144 sqft.

A:  Using the 1W/sq ft rule of thumb, 12 X 12 would be 144 sq ft or 1440 watts. So in a basement room with earth etc insulation the answer is yes.

A:  Yes

A:  Maybe. It requires 12 AWG wire (20 Amp) and a dedicated 15 Amp breaker, so you'll most likely need to run a new circuit to a new breaker. It draws 12.5 Amps and 1500 Watts. That's a lot of power, like running a heavy duty plug in electric heater. It has specified minimum clearances of 20 inches in front and 4 inches top, side and bottom. I'd use a plug in oil heater instead...the ones that look like little radiators. Operating this to heat a room will blow up your electric bill.
