There must be 10˝ minimum distance between the bottom of the heat lamp and the top of the combustible work surface and no less
than 8˝ between the bottom of the lamp and the top of a non-combustible work surface. There must be a 10˝ minimum distance
between the bottom of the heat lamp and the top surface of a steam table or heat-generating surface. There must also be a 1˝ clearance
from top of heat lamp.
Hig Wattage Heat Lamps
There must be 16˝ minimum distance between the bottom of the heat lamp and the top of the combustible work surface and no less
than 8˝ between the bottom of the lamp and the top of a non-combustible work surface. There must be a 16˝ minimum distance

CHAIN-MOUNTED UNITS
Chain supplied by Eagle Group is constructed of sufficient strength to securely hold the weight of the RedHots®Heat Lamp when properly
mounted. (Ordered separately by the foot under Eagle Group, part # 358372.)
Securely fasten the chain to surface above the area that the heat lamp will be located over. Please be sure that the chain is located so that
the heat lamp will be suspended at a safe and proper distance from any side, rear walls and working surface. (Distances provided in
“Mounting Location” section of this manual—page 3.)
Loosen the screws that hold that mounting tabs on either side of the heat lamp. Extend the tabs upward and then tighten the screws.
Use a short piece of chain between the two tabs. Attach the overhead chain to the connecting chain to form a “Y” shape (see illustration
below) and repeat for the opposite end.

UNDER SHELF MOUNT
When mounting the heat lamp under a shelf, maintain a 1˝ offset from the bottom of the shelf. The heat lamp is not to be mounted
under a shelf that is considered combustible. The shelf must be made of a non-combustible material.
If the shelf has a rolled edge or downturn, the heat lamp must be below the lowest part of the roll or flanged edge, using the adjustable
bracket (supplied by Eagle Group, part #355148). The lower set of holes accommodates a 1-1/2˝ deep shelf.
Remove the two #8-32 screws per bracket, towards the rear of the heat lamp (shown in the illustration below), and remove any
hanging clips. Align the holes in the bracket to the holes in the heat lamp, as shown below, and securely mount the screws.
Secure the heat lamp brackets using #1/4-20 bolts/screws (hardware not provided by Eagle Group) to ensure a secure installation.
CLEANING
To preserve the finish and life of your RedHots®Heat Lamp, Eagle recommends cleaning the exterior surfaces by wiping them
down with a damp cloth, making sure that the heat lamp has been turned off and has cooled down. Harder-to-remove stains may be
removed by using an aluminum non-abrasive cleaner. Abrasive cleaners can scratch and ruin the finish, making it possible for dirt
buildup to occur.
