Step 1 Remove the mounting hardware package from its shipping
position inside the electrical compartment.
Step 2 Place the top of the wall support bracket 23 1/2" from the
floor and secure it to the wall with the lag bolts provided.
The bracket MUST be mounted so the lag bolts secure into
wood wall studs. If the wall is not a standard wood studded
structure, alternate fasteners must be used.
Step 3 Attach the wall support clips to the back of the heater.
Step 4 Set the carriage bolts aside as they will be used to attach
the heater to the wall support bracket after the field wiring
connections are made.
SecuritY BASe
120V plug-in cord models come equipped with a security base. This base must be attached to the bottom panel of the
room heating unit. It is packaged inside the shipping box on the back side of the heater.
Step 1 Remove the security base mounting hardware package from its shipping position inside the electrical
compartment.
Step 2 Gently lay the heater on its back. For ease of installation, slightly elevate the bottom of the heater.
Step 3 Align the holes in the security base with the pre-drilled holes in the bottom of the heater. Using the six #14
x 1¼" sheet metal screws and washers provided in the mounting hardware package, attach the security base
to the painted bottom panel.
The angled corners of the security base will be towards the front of the heater and the painted
side of the security base faces up.
Step 4 After the base is attached, return the heater to its upright position and place in desired location. DO NOT
energize the heater until installation is complete.
WARNING
Risk of fire. Can cause injury or death. Failure to secure the
heater can cause the heater to fall over. Properly secure the
heater by using the wall support bracket to mount it to the wall
or by installing the security base.
