Wall Mounting Installation
Fig. 1
• The heater must be mounted at four
points. Two mounting holes (keyhole
slots) are located on the upper rear of
the heater and two wall mount angle
brackets are provided for securing the
heater’s bottom to the wall.
• Fit the short edges of the angle brackets
to the heater and secure brackets with
the screws provided, ensuring the long
tabs protrude downward (see Fig. 1).
• The heater must be positioned on a wall
away from cold draughts or breezeways
which may interfere with the tempera-
ture control system (rotary thermostat).
• A clearance of at least 6" (152mm) to
BOTH sides of the heater, at least 20
inches (508mm) to the front and top of
the heater should be maintained.
• A clearance of at least 8" (205mm) must
be maintained above the fl oor or fl oor
coverings (see Fig. 2).

directly under a power outlet.

below air extraction vents.
