ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
For best results and your safety, please follow the
instructions carefully. DO NOT modify this product in any
way as the distributor will accept no liability for improper
use.
Remove all package material (including anti-vibration
object on the lamp) and check the heater, supply cord
and plug for signs of damage.
Pay attention to the mounting place and all mounting
material (dowels, screws). See figure 1. Ensure they are
suitable and stable enough for mounting and holding the
heater securely.
Before mounting, the minimum safe mounting distances
and tilt angles shown in the figures below must be strictly
followed.
• The distance between the bottom edge of the
heater and the floor must be at least 1.8m. See
figure 2.
• There must be a distance of at least 0.25m between
the heater and the ceiling, roof or other overhangs.
See figure 2.
• There must be a distance of at least 0.5m on each
side of the heater and walls or the like. See figure 2.
• Recommended degree of tilt of the heater to the
mounting surface is 45°. See figure 3.
Pay attention that the heater is not installed in
excessively windy locations.
Fix the mounting bracket to the wall first.
1. Take the wall bracket and select the position on
the wall
2. Mark the holes for the wall bracket and drill
