Steffes 1003 - Manual (Page 11)

PLACEMENT
The room heating unit was designed to be mounted in one of two places: on the floor or up on the wall. If
installing on the floor, normally, standard flooring systems with any type of covering, i.e. wood floor, carpet,
linoleum, will be sufficient; but, heater weight must be considered. If in doubt, consult a building contractor or
an architect. (See Table 2 for weight and physical dimensions of room heating unit being installed.) If install-
ing the heater at a height above the floor, a special wall mounting bracket must be used. This wall mounting
kit does not come standard with the heater and must be ordered special. (Order item #1190036.)
IMPORTANT: The heater must be securely attached to wall studs.
Since the intake grill for the room air is located at the bottom of the heater, caution should be exercised when
installing the heater on extremely thick carpet. Any contact with the intake grill could block the air passage
through the brick core and inhibit the heating capabilities of the room unit.
Avoid installing the heater near sources of extreme heat or cold so the built-in room temperature sensor can
sample proper room air temperature.
CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
Allow a minimum of 2 inches of clearance from the sides of the heater and a
minimum of 12 inches from the top of the heater. There is no back clearance
as the heater's back panel surface mounts to the wall. (See Figure 7.)
If enclosing the room heating unit in a wooden cabinet or recessing it into a
wall, allow 2 inches clearance on sides and 12 inches on top. Do not
enclose or otherwise obstruct access to the heater's front panel and the air
intake and discharge grills. Objects such as curtains, furniture, or bed
covers must be kept a minimum of 4 inches from all room heating unit
surfaces and 12 inches from the grills.
If there is less than a 12" clearance on the right side of the room heating unit, we recommend
installing a remote wall mounted room temperature sensor. (Order item #1302024.)
