ATTACHING THE HEATER TO THE WALL
For cross reference to number coded components, refer to the Exploded View Diagram (Figure
15) and the Heater's Parts List.
Step 1 Remove screws at the lower edge of the painted front panel (12). Caution should be taken to assure that
the screws are removed without scratching the painted surfaces.
Step 2 Pull the lower edge of the front panel forward and unhook it from the top panel (1). Carefully set the
front panel aside.
Step 3 Remove the galvanized front panel (18) by removing the screws that attach it to the heater.
Step 4 With the heater placed in its desired location, mark the wall through the two mounting holes in the
painted back panel (26). The mounting holes that are chosen MUST correspond to wall studs.
Step 5 Move the heater to the side. Drill 3/16" holes into the studs where the wall is marked and move the
heater back into place.
Step 6 Located in the lower right side of the heater is a package containing hardware to mount the heater to the
wall. Using a 7/16” socket and a long extension use the lag bolts (46) to attach the heater to the wall.
Proceed to the Brick Loading section of this manual.
The lag bolts must attach to wood wall studs. (If the wall is not a standard wood studded struc-
ture, alternate fasteners must be used to securely attach the wall bracket.) If the heater is being
installed at a height above the floor, a special wall mounting bracket must also be used in addi-
tion to the lag bolts. This wall mounting kit does not come standard with the heater and must be
ordered special. (Order item #1190036.)
BRICK LOADING
For cross reference to number coded components, see the Exploded View Diagram (Figure 15)
and the Heater's Parts List. Refer to Table 3 for the number of bricks required for each heater
model.
IMPORTANT:
The heater must be securely mounted to
the wall prior to brick loading.
Step 1 To catch brick debris, to protect the flooring, and for easy
clean-up of the installation, place the room unit's shipping box
in front of the heater before loading the brick.
Step 2 To facilitate loading brick row 1, pull the heating element up
and lay it down so it hangs out the front of the heater (leave
the wires attached).
Step 3 Install brick row 1 with the indented side of the brick facing
the front. (See Figure 9.)
Step 4 Adjust the heating element so that it is in its original vertical
position.
Step 5 Install brick row 2 with the indented side of the brick facing the back of the heater. (See Figure 9.)
Install bricks carefully to avoid damage to the base insulation panels (39, 40, and 41) and to the
insulation (37) on the back side of the brick cavity.
Step 6 Reassemble the heater except for the painted front panel.
Proceed to Setting the Method of Brick Core
Charge Control section of this manual.
