4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
General : READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND PLAN THE INSTALLATION
BEFORE PROCEEDING
This appliance conforms to ANSI/UL 2021 and is certified to CAN/CSA C22.2 No.46. This ap-
pliance is approved for indoor use only. Do not use this heater outdoors or in wet environ-
ments such as bathrooms and laundry rooms.
The heater is supplied with an 8 ft [2.4 m] cord with a three prong plug that must connect to a
properly grounded 115 - 120 Vac outlet on a copper wire electrical supply circuit.
A mounting bracket is supplied with the heater, and can be mounted to a wall or post. The
heater must be mounted to this bracket during operation. Hardware to fasten the mounting
bracket to the structure is determined by site conditions, and is field supplied by the installer.
IMPORTANT: Always maintain the minimum clearances from the floor, ceiling,
side walls, and combustible materials. Refer to Table 2 and Figure 2 next page.
IMPORTANT: Avoid the use of an extension cord because the extension cord may
overheat and cause a risk of fire. However, if you must use an extension cord, the
cord shall be No. 14 AWG minimum size and rated not less than 1875 watts.
Locating the Heater :
Warning: Use of this heater in coastal salt-air regions can result in corrosion of the aluminum
body and reflector, and premature failure the heat lamp. Corrosion and failure resulting from
use in coastal areas represents normal use in that environment and is not covered by war-
ranty.
1. The heater is designed for wall or post mounting and operation with plug-in cord (8 ft [2.4
m]) connection and must be installed at least 6 feet (1.8 m) above the floor.
2. Ensure that clearances from the heater meet or exceed the minimum required clearances
in Table 2, and Figure 2 below: Above; to the Floor; to a Side wall; and to Combustible
materials.
3. The heater must plug in to a properly grounded 115 - 120 Vac outlet. Ensure the electrical
outlet is readily accessible to be able to disconnect the heater when needed.
4. The heater should never be placed nor mounted directly under a wall electrical outlet.
5. A minimum distance of 3 ft (36 inches) [90 cm] must be maintained between the front grille
and flammable items (e.g. curtains), walls and other structures.
6. Do not allow the electrical cord to pass in front of the heater or to touch any hot surface.
7. The appliance must not be mounted directly on flammable materials (no wood or similar).
8. Do not expose the heater to rain or other moisture.
9. Since the appliance radiates heat, no obstruction or object such as furniture should be
placed between the heater and the person being heated.
