tions. All required clearances should be maintained. In addi-
tion all electrical wiring and connections should comply with
local electrical codes.
!NOTE: It is extremely important to read all information la-

All units should be controlled by means of a regulating ther-
mostat. Certain models only are provided with built in ther-
mostats. Check the Model Key Information section for veri-
wattage of all heaters on the circuit.
All installations require the following components:
1) Recess Box (Model 1011650100)
2) HeaterAssembly (See nameplate Label)
3) Grille
An optional Surface Mount Box is available for installations
that are not recessed in wall cavity.
Step 1 – Placement
All units are designed for placement in either interior or ex-
terior walls. Care should be taken to provide a minimum of
in any way. Maintain 3’ (91.4cm) clearance of objects from the
front of unit. Maintain a spacing of 3’ (91.4cm) between heat-
ers in order to prevent re-circulation of heated air. Insulation
surrounding the back and sides of the recess mount box will
not affect performance. Ensure insulation is rated for tempera-
tures up to 185°F (85°C).
!NOTE: -

WARNING: This heater must be properly installed before it
is used.
WARNING: Disconnect power and heater has cooled be-
fore attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the
!NOTE: This heater should not be operated with an ac-
cumulation of dust or dirt on or in the unit, as this can cause
a build up of heat and eventual damage. For this reason the
heater must be inspected regularly, depending upon condi-
tions and at least at yearly intervals.
For units with built in thermostats, rotate the thermostat knob
fully clockwise. Heater should activate. When the room reach-
es the desired temperature, slowly rotate the knob counter-
clockwise until unit shuts off. The heater will automatically
cycle around this preset temperature setting.
All units contain a Manual Reset High Temperature Cutout,
which will shut the heater off in the event of abnormally high
operating temperatures. The high temperature cutout can be
-
utes before switching it to back on. In addition a Red Warn-
ing Light will activate providing a visual warning. If this condi-
tion exists, disconnect all power to the unit and call a licensed
electrician for service. Do not use heater until the problem is
determined and corrected. ENSURE POWER TO THE UNIT
IS DISCONNECTED PRIOR TO SERVICING OR PERFORM-
ING CLEANING.

in wall 14 ¼” x 8 1/8" x 3" (36.2cm x 20.6cm x 7.6cm) deep,
minimum. Care should be taken to install the recess box in the
correct orientation to accommodate grille. Note the position
of the electrical entry knockouts and orient recess box

surface. For new construction, the sides of the recess box
are marked with guidelines to allow for ½” (1.3cm) and 5/8“
(1.6cm) drywall thickness if drywall is to be added at a later
date. Secure recess box to studs with screws using holes pro-
electrical knockout and secure supply wire using an approved
strain relief connector leaving 6” (15.2cm) of wire leads in the
recess box.
Step 3 - Mounting the Heater Assembly
Insert the heater assembly into the recess box ensuring that
the tab on the heater assembly slides into the slot in the re-
cess box. Ensure the heater assembly is fully seated and se-
cure to the recess box using the captive screw provided.
Be careful not tohandle the heaterwhere the cutout is located.
Step 4 –Electrical Connections
WARNING: Hazard of severe shock.
CAUTION: Disconnect all power coming to heater at main
service panel before wiring or servicing.
Turn off power supply at the electrical panel. Route supply
wires from circuit breaker through wall thermostat to heater.
For models with built in thermostat route from circuit breaker
to heater.
Supply wire must be of variety, with a
rating capable of handling all loads on the circuit. Supply wire
should be rated for a minimum of 140°F (60°C). Make electri-
cal connection according to relevant wiring diagrams. Make
connections using approved wire nut connectors and secure
the grounding wire to the ground screw on the heater chassis.
Step 5 – Secure the Front Panel
If your unit has a built in thermostat remove the plug on the
front panel. Fasten the Front Grille using the screws provided.
It is important to note that the front grille is oriented in the
required positions shown in Figure 1 and on the Multi – Direc-
tional grille. For units with built in thermostat push knob onto
thermostat shaft through plug hole.
