ATTACHING THE WALL MOUNT BRACKET OR SECURITY BASE
For cross reference to number coded components, Refer to the Exploded View Diagram
(Figure 18) and the Heater Parts List.
The room heating unit is attached in one of two ways: wall support bracket (54) or security base (51 and 52).
Follow steps 1 and 2 regardless of the method of attachment.
Step 1 Remove the screws at the lower edge of the painted front panel (18). A plastic grill guard is provided
to protect the grill from being scratched while removing the screws.
Step 2 Pull the lower edge of the front panel forward and unhook it from the top panel (19). Carefully set
the front panel aside.
If installing a unit with a wall bracket, do step 3. If the room heating unit being installed is
equipped with a security base, proceed to step 4.
Step 3 Located in the lower right side of the heater
(near the blower) is a package containing the
hardware (53) to mount the wall support
bracket (54). The wall support bracket is
shipped on the pallet under the room heating
unit. Establish room heating unit location.
Mark the location on the wall where the wall
support bracket will be attached. The top of
this should be 23
½
" from the floor. It must
attach securely to wall studs. Pre-drill two
3/16" holes on each side of the bracket. Use
the lag bolts provided to attach the wall
support bracket to the wall with the label on
the bracket facing upward. (See Figure 8.)
Use the carriage bolts to secure heater to the
bracket.
The wall bracket MUST be mounted with the label facing up and the lag bolts must attach to
wood wall studs. If the wall is not a standard wood studded structure, alternate fasteners must
be used to securely attach the wall bracket.
Step 4 (Do this step only if installing a heater with a security base.) 120V plug-in cord models may come
equipped with a security base (51 and 52) rather than a wall support bracket (54). 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. The hardware needed to mount the base to the heater is in a package
located in the lower right side of the heater (near the blower).
To install the base, gently lay the room heating unit on its back. You may find it helpful to elevate
the bottom of the room heating unit a few inches to make the installation of the base easier.
Align the holes in the security base with the pre-drilled holes in the bottom of the room heating unit.
Using the six #14 x 1
¼ inch sheet metal screws provided in the hardware package, attach the security
base to the painted bottom panel (9) of the room heating unit.
After the base is attached, return the unit to its upright position and place into room location in
preparation for brick loading.
