Setup and Installation

This heater requires hard-wired installation to a 240V power supply. Due to the electrical requirements, it is highly recommended to have a qualified electrician perform the installation.

Mounting Instructions:

1. Select a suitable mounting location, ensuring sufficient clearance from walls and other objects (at least 24 inches from discharge, 8 feet from floor).
2. Attach the mounting bracket to the ceiling or wall using appropriate hardware (not included).
3. Secure the heater to the mounting bracket. The bracket allows for multiple mounting angles (45°, 67.5°, 90°) to optimize heat direction.
