CAUTION: Place furniture/objects no closer than 3ft
(91cm) in front of the heater. Ensure that the inlet and bottom
of the heater is unobstructed to allow for sufficient air flow
through the unit.
1. Unpack the heater from the carton.
2. Determine the correct mounting height for the heater.
The bottom of the heater should be mounted a minimum
of 8" (20.3 cm) from the floor. The recess box is designed
so that it can be mounted between two studs within the
wall.
3. The recess box requires an opening in the wall 13.5"
(34.5 cm) high by 8 3/8" (21.5 cm) wide (see Figure 1).
Depth of opening must be 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) minimum,
measured from finished wall surface.
!
NOTE: The sides of the recess box are marked with
guidelines to allow for ½" and ⅝" drywall thickness. When
installing the recess box before installing drywall, when
installing the recess box before installing drywall, use the
depth guidelines to mount the box at the appropriate depth
for drywall thickness, and proper grille installation.
4. Remove appropriate electrical knockout and secure
supply wire using an approved strain relief connector,
leaving 6" (15.2 cm) of wire leads in the recess box.
(Figure 1)
!
NOTE: It is only necessary to remove the knockout that
will feed the power supply wiring, keeping in mind the heater
mounting location and supply wire location on the wall.
5. The recess box can be secured using the front flanges
at the top and bottom or from the inside into surrounding
studs. Ensure that the recess box is oriented so that the
knockouts are located at the bottom and the flanges are
flush with the finished wall.
