INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Locate the power supply leads behind the planned location of the heater. Recommended clearance below heater base to floor is 4 in. (102 mm) minimum. Allow 4 in. (102 mm) minimum clearance between sides of heater and any adjacent walls and 12 in. (305 mm) above. The leads shall be at the right of the wall bracket.
2. Lean the bottom of the wall bracket on the floor and mark with a pencil the height desired (of the heater bottom) using the holes with inches written on the side.
3. Secure wall bracket with the 4 screws supplied. Use drywall anchors (not supplied) if required. The bottom of the key holes shall be in line with the previous marks. Triangle mark on horizontal bar is the center of the heater. Before installing wall support, align center of heater with support center mark and make sure the heater sides are at least 4 in. (102 mm) from any adjacent walls.
4. Untighten wire holder (for Loomex cable) and make electrical connections by having the heater the nearest possible to the electrical wire. For BX cable, remove one of the two knock-outs, install a connector (not furnished) and have 6 to 8 in. (15 to 20 cm) of free wire and get them out of the hole of the wire holder in order to make connections from outside. Do not forget to connect the green wire to ground wire in order to have a safe grounded heater.
5. Once connections completed, place bottom T slots in the base part of support, and clip the upper side of the body in the upper Ushape U shape part of the support.
6. Do not let the excess of the supply wire come in contact with the back of the heater, as well as any other object.
7. Put the main power on.

CAUTION:

• High temperature, risk of fire, keep electrical cords, drapery, furnishings, and other combustibles at least 36 in. (915 mm) from the front of the heater and away from the sides. To reduce the risk of fire, do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of the heater.
• In addition to ensuring that the clearance distances set out above are respected, ensure that the framing materials, insulation and finishing which are likely to be in contact with or close to the device can withstand temperatures of at least 90 °C (194 °F).

IMPORTANT
Do not obstruct the front of the heater for at least 48 in. (1200 mm).

OPTIONS:
All heating equipment and options must be installed in accordance with local and national codes.
Built-in relay:

• Refer to the diagram included with the relay option for connections.
• Refer to instructions supplied with the option for mounting.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• The heater must be properly installed before it is used.
• Turn the power on at the circuit breaker panel.
• Electronic thermostat: Set the thermostat temperature at the wanted room temperature.

CONTROL:
Model with built-in electronic thermostat:
The electronic thermostat shall keep the room temperature in a range of ± 1 °C (± 2 °F) unless the room is not well insulated or the heater is too or not enough powerful for the room.
Model without control:
Maintain room temperature by a line-voltage wall thermostat approved for residential heating. Even if it is not mandatory, an electronic thermostat gives better performance than a conventional thermostat.
