PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED AND
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL. ALL
INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY
WITH ALL LOCAL CODES AND
BY-LAWS, AND INSPECTED AND
APPROVED FOR OPERATION BY
LOCAL GOVERNING AUTHORITY
PRIOR TO USE.
WARNING: Construction and
electrical wiring must comply with
local building codes and other
applicable regulations to reduce the
risk of re, electric shock and injury
to persons.
Opti-myst Cassette
The Opti-myst Pro Box Heater works
exclusively with the

PRO). Controls for the heater are
found on the cassette.
New Construction
When determining a location for
the Opti-myst®Pro Box Heater,
ensure that the unit will not be
susceptible to drafts, vents, ceiling
fans and other air currents. Similar
to a candle, large movements of
air will affect the unit's ability to
create and maintain the ame effect.
Hardwire Installation
The Opti-myst Pro Box Heater is
supplied in an assembled state
and is designed to be permanently
installed. The unit comes ready for
hardwire installation.
WARNING: Do not attempt
to wire your own new outlets or
circuits. To reduce the risk of re,
electric shock or injury to persons,
always use a licensed electrician.
!
NOTE: Please read all
instructions before installing.
1. For rough in framing, the
opening should follow the
recommended dimensions
located in Figure 1.
!
NOTE: Dimensions provided
are minimum clearances and will
vary depending on type of support
framing and nishing options.
!
NOTE: Framing should be
constructed to support 160 lbs
(73 kg)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
re, do not store or use gasoline or
other ammable vapours or liquids
in the vicinity of the unit.

meet local and national electrical
codes for rated power.
10. Connect the black wires (live)
from the Opti-myst Cassette and
Opti-myst Pro Box Heater to the
live from the power supply.
11. Connect the white wires
(neutral) from the Opti-myst
