To reduce fire risk, do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near the heater.

2.1 Installation Clearances – Wall Mount

[!] DANGER FIRE HAZARD

Observe minimum clearances indicated on the nameplate and in the manual. Keep combustibles at least 6 feet (1.8m) from the front, sides, and rear of the heater.

Wall Mounted Clearances Diagram Description: Shows clearances for wall mounting: 0.2m (8") from the wall, 0.45m (18") to adjacent walls. Also shows floor clearances: 2.1m (6'7") for USA and 2.4m (8') for Canada.

2.2 Installation Clearances – Ceiling Mount

For best performance, install 8' in Canada and 7' in USA (measured to bottom of heater). Minimum mounting height is 8' in Canada and 6'7" in USA. For outdoor environments, do not mount above 8'. Heater includes standard 4" brackets. When installed directly on a ceiling with provided brackets, the heater MUST be installed parallel to the ceiling.

Ceiling Mounted Clearances Diagram Description: Shows clearances for ceiling mounting: 0.1m (4") from the ceiling, 0.45m (18") to adjacent walls. Also shows wall mount clearance of 0.2m (8").

2.3 Installation on High Ceilings

For high ceilings, suspend the heater for optimal heating. For outdoor use, do not mount the bottom of the heater above 8' in Canada and 7' in USA. Chains may be used for indoor hanging.

2.4 Electrical Installation

Safety Precautions:

• Each power supply circuit must be properly grounded.
• Use a certified ground fault protection device for wet environments.
• Use a proper electrical connection box.
• Supply voltage and frequency must match the unit's information plate.

2.5 Wall-Mounted Installation

NOTE: Use overhead cover for outdoor installations. Not recommended for northern climates or high wind areas.

1. Unpack the heater and remove protective foam.
2. The heater includes standard 4" brackets. Spacing between brackets: 3200W: 48" to 30" (1.2m to 0.75m); 1500W: 18" to 10" (0.45m to 0.25m).
3. Select wall location by identifying studs or structural beams for secure attachment. Ensure minimum clearances from section 2.1 are met.
4. Securely fasten brackets to the mounting surface. Wall bolts/anchors are not supplied; select appropriate size for unit weight and wind load.
5. Mount heater to brackets with the terminal box on the right side, using provided screws.
6. Adjust heater to desired angle and tighten fixing bolts on the back of the heater.
7. Secure the electrical supply cable so it does not contact the heater body or obstruct air vents. Follow electrical codes.

Diagram Description: Shows bracket mounting dimensions (3.5mm [.1in], 92mm [3.6in]) and indicates to tighten screws to lock the angle.

2.6 Ceiling Mounted Installation

[!] WARNING: Heater should be hung using rigid mounting brackets, unable to swing. Chain mounting is for indoor use only.

1. Secure heater to mounting brackets with nuts and washers.
2. Select ceiling location by identifying studs/beams for secure attachment. Note: ceiling bolts/anchors are not supplied. Select appropriate size for unit weight and wind load conditions.
• Model # MES15A01 – 12.5lbs
• Model # MES32A11 - 22lbs
• Model # MES32A12 - 22lbs
3. Attach unit to ceiling using ceiling brackets and user-selected bolts.

5. NOTICE: NEVER direct infrared heat at an adjacent wall.
6. Secure electrical supply cable away from heater body and air vents.

2.7 Adjusting Directional Positioning

[!] WARNING: Never attempt to move or adjust the heater angle while it is running. Personal injury could result.

1. Turn off the heater's electrical supply from the main power supply.
2. Allow the heater to cool before adjusting the angle.
3. Loosen fixing bolts on the brackets at the back of the heater, adjust as desired, then re-tighten.

Notice: The unit produces radiant heat. Install at an angle pointing the front face at the target area. Do not point at windows or vacant spaces.
