For Your Safety/Warning
Do not place objects in front of infrared wall units that have been mounted lower than
those parameters suggested in the installation instructions. Doing so will cause the unit
to overheat, which will trigger the high temperature limit switch, resulting in a potential
service call to reset/replace the switch.
For Best Performance
It is recommended that the air flow pattern in the room becomes circular. This is
accomplished by mounting the heater to one side of the room, as per the illustration, in
order to create a circular flow around the room.
Where multiple units are installed in larger rooms, this circular pattern can be
maintained by positioning the units to complement the air flows. This is accomplished
by positioning them in opposite corners of the room.
Operating Instructions
The units are self‐regulating. Temperature is controlled via a low‐voltage thermostat
located preferably on the opposite wall from the heating unit. The heater fans will turn
on when the power to the infrared heating elements turn on. After the heating
elements have come up to full temperature, a third fan will turn on to increase the
airflow into the room. This third fan will remain running even after the heating
elements have been shut down by the thermostat, in order to distribute the remaining
heat in the heating elements into the room.
Temperatures can be regulated from a central control (sold separately) or the heating
units can also be independently turn on or off from a remote location via a central on/
off switch for each unit. The switch is connected between the low‐voltage thermostat
control and one of the lead wires to the thermostat from the thermostat contact on the
heater.
Maintenance
Routinely inspect the air registers on the infrared unit to make sure that there is no dust
accumulation. Vacuum as you would any conventional heat or air conditioning duct.
It is suggested that an annual dusting of the ceramic plates be performed in order to
eliminate any residual accumulation of dust during the summer months. Other than
this, there are no maintenance requirements involved. In order to accomplish this, the
front plastic panel must be removed by removing the four screws and lifting up to
release the panel from the top clip.

Installation Instructions for 1000 watt unit
Required outlet opening: The heater cut‐out must have a minimal size of 12.5 in.
W x 16 in. H x 3.5 in. D in order to accommodate the heater.
Mounting the Heater
The heater comes with two sets of mounting brackets. Using the appropriate
set of brackets for the mounting conditions, attach the heater unit to the wall
preferably 6 ft. above the floor to eliminate obstructions to air flow. The
heater can be mounted lower if preferred. The higher location of the heater
also insures that obstacles in the room such as furniture will not encumber the
circulation of the infrared heat waves being generated from the heater. This
assures even heat distribution and prevents cold‐pockets of air. The infrared
heat will flow evenly from floor to ceiling so the location of the heater on the
wall is not pre‐empted by normal in‐wall heater considerations.
Note: Each CZ Infrared™ heater comes with two sets of mounting brackets. One
set is for mounting the unit prior to sheet rock installation, and the second set is
for mounting the unit after sheetrock installation, as in the case of a remodel.
