Selecting A Location For Your Heater:
DO NOT install less than 6” (15cm) from vertical side
walls or open edge of door. This heater must have an
unrestricted airflow. DO NOT select a location where it
is likely to be blocked by furniture, curtains, etc. Be
sure the location selected allows sufficient space for the
heater as shown by Table 1. DO NOT locate this heater
in an area where combustible vapors, gases liquids, or
excessive lint, dust or moisture is present.
The wire and breaker sizing chart will give a general rule
of installation size. Consult an electrician if you are not
knowledgeable about wiring codes.

WIRING: Branch Circuit Connection
1. Connect heater only to the voltage, amperage and
frequency specified on the nameplate.
2. Wiring procedures and connections shall be in ac-
cordance with all National and local codes having
jurisdiction.
3. Set the bag containing the grille and packet with
two (2) grille screws aside.
4. Loosen mounting screw and remove fan heater as-
sembly.
5. A knockout of 1/2 inch conduit size (7/8 inch /
2.2cm) is provided in the back and side of the heater
for power to enter. Provide proper strain relief con-
nectors for your wire entering the wallbox.
6. Install wallbox a minimum of 6” from vertical side-
walls and 4” above floor. The front edge of wall
can MUST extend 1/2” beyond finished wall sur-
face.
7. Secure wallbox to the 2 x 4 studs using the two (2)
holes on the side of the wallbox. Secure to wall stud

normal burn off of manufacturing lubricants and will
dissipate in 5 minutes.

ture you set is reached and then turn itself off until
the temperature drops again.

cal cords, drapery, furnishings, and other combusti-
bles at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the
heater as well as away from the side and rear. To
