INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK
OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Serious inj ury or deat h could result f rom elect ric shock.
Make sure elect rical power supply circuit coming t o heat er
is disconnect ed at main disconnect or service panel bef ore
inst alling t his heat er.
2. Wiring procedures and connect ions must be in accordance
wit h t he Nat ional Elect rical Code (NEC) and local codes.
Ref er t o Wiring Diagrams Figure 5. Make sure all elect rical
connect ions are t ight t o prevent possible overheat ing. Use
Copper Supply Wire Only.
3. Verif y t he elect rical power supply volt age mat ches t he
volt age rat ing as print ed on t he heat er nameplat e – see Fig-
ure 1.
CAUTION - Never connect a heater to a voltage
greater than the nameplate voltage as this will
damage the heater and could cause a
4. Do not inst all t he heat er against combust ible low-den-
fi
sit y cellulose
berboard surf aces, against or below vinyl wall
coverings, or below any mat erials t hat may be damaged by
heat such as vinyl or plast ic blinds, curt ains, et c.
5. Do not inst all heat er below an elect rical convenience re-
cept acle (out let ).
6. CAUTION – Heat er Operat es at High Temperat ures. Keep
Elect rical Cords (including t elephone and comput er cables),
Drapes, and Ot her Furnishings Away From Heat er. For ef
cient and saf e operat ion, we recommend maint aining a mini-
mum of 6 inches (152 mm) clearance above and in f ront of
t he heat er at all t imes. See Figure 2 f or minimum clearance
requirement s f or drapery.

8. Do not inst all heat er upside down or in any posit ion ot her
t han as shown in t his manual. Caut ion label wit h word " TOP"
must be at t he t op when heat er is inst alled.
9. Do not recess heat er in wall or inst all heat er inside any
t ype enclosure as t his will cause heat er t o overheat and
could creat e a hazard.
10. When mount ing heat er, (see Figure 4), make sure screws
do not damage crossover wiring or t he saf et y limit in t he
heat er.
11. Do not remove or bypass t he saf et y limit cont rol as t his
could allow heat er t o become a
12. When using Transf ormer Relay Accessory, supply wiring
provided in compart ment where t his accessory is inst alled,
must be rat ed 90 ° C minimum.

2. The air inlet of the heater cannot be obstructed by the
finished floor materials such as carpet, tile or hardwood. The
installer, must make allowance for the finished floor materials
when installing the heater during rough-in construction on a
subfloor. For example if thickness of the padding and carpet
to be installed is 3/4", then the heater must be mounted 3/4"
above the subfloor.
