Comfort-Aire IR15S - Manual (Page 3)

To provide additional protection against fire and
injury, the installation of a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFI) is strongly recommended.
WARNING: For outdoor installation only!
1. Remove the heater from the packaging, and
remove all packing materials including the anti-
vibration foam around the emitter/lamp. Check
the heater, power cord, and plug for any signs of
damage. Do not install if damage is apparent.
2. Check the mounting materials (dowels and screws)
to ensure that they are suitable to ensure a stable
and secure mounting of the heater.
3. Select a location for mounting following these
guidelines:
WARNING
SAFETY HAZARDS
The minimum safe mounting clearances and tilt
angles must be strictly followed. See below and
Figures 1 and 2.
a. The distance between the bottom edge of
the heater and the floor must be at least 6' 7"
(2.0m). See Figure 1.
b. The distance between the top of the heater and
the ceiling/roof/overhead material must be at
least 1' 6" (0.5m). See Figure 1.

INSTALLATION & OPERATION
c. The distance between each end and adjoining
walls or surfaces must be at least 5' (1.5m).
See Figure 1.
d. DO NOT mount the heater at any angle greater
than 45 o up or down from the horizontal
position. See Figure 2.
e. The maximum swing rotation from side to side
(right to left/left to right) is 90 o .
4. Check to be sure the installation of the heater does
not add excessive wind load.
5. Attach the mounting bracket to the wall, making
sure that it is secure to support the weight of the
heater. Keep in mind that mechanical bearing
pressure and oscillation due to wind or rain could
lead to loosening.
6. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
7. Turn the unit on. The heater has a red ON/OFF
switch located on the side of the unit.
8. Observe the operation for 10 to 15 minutes to be
sure the unit is working properly.
If there is an operation problem, immediately turn
OFF the heater and disconnect the power cord
from the electric outlet.
9. Do not leave the heater unattended while
operating. Turn the unit OFF when use is not
desired.
