4 INSTALLATION
WARNING! Risk of Personal Injury or Property Dam-
age! Failure to install the appliance as instructed below
may result in damage to the equipment and or may ex-
pose the user to the risk of re, serious injury, illness or
death.
There are three options for the appliance installation:
• Recessed into a 2 x 6 in. wall - Section 4.B.
• Recessed into a 2 x 4 in. wall - Section 4.C.
• Mounted directly on the wall - Section 4.D.
The appliance can be recessed into the wall, but the
glass front must overlap the opening in the wall con-
struction. The glass front cannot be nished into the
wall, or overlapped with any nishing materials.

Figure 4.1 Framing and Wall Finishing for Recessed Installation
When installed in a recessed opening on an exterior
wall in cooler climates, a chase may be required by local
building codes to accommodate insulation. The chase
should be constructed in a manner of all outside walls
of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems. The
chase should not break the outside building envelop in
any manner. Walls, ceiling, baseplate, and cantilever
oor of the chase should be insulated. Vapor and air
inltration barriers should be installed in the chase as
per regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally,
in regions where cold air inltration may be an issue,
the inside surfaces may be drywalled and taped (or
equivalent method may be used) to achieve maximum
air tightness.
NOTICE: Insulation and other loose materials must be
secured to maintain the air clearance between the appli-
ance and interior envelope of the wall opening. This will
ensure that the appliance can circulate air to its room
temperature sensor for maximum performance of the
Thermostat function.

A. Appliance Preparation
Figure 4.3 Fixing Brackets Attachment
After determining the location and framing dimensions,
the appliance must be prepared for installation.
The appliance is shipped with its wall mounting bracket
attached. Remove the bracket by removing the two
(2) M5X10 screws on the bottom of the appliance, then
disengage the bracket from the appliance. Set the wall
mounting bracket aside for future use, if appliance instal-
lation is directly to the face of the wall. See Section 4.D.
The appliance is shipped with a two (2) in. deep pe-
rimeter skirt that remains in place when appliance is
recessed into 2 X 4 in. framed wall construction. See
Figure 4.2. If this is the installation, no further prepara-
tion is necessary. Refer to Section 4.C for installation
instructions.
If the appliance recessed is into 2 X 6 in. framed wall
construction, the two (2) in. deep perimeter skirt must be
removed and discarded. See Figure 4.2. Refer to Sec-
tion 4.B for installation instructions.
If the installation is directly to the face of a wall, the fac-
tory-installed two (2) in. deep perimeter skirt should be
left on the appliance. The wall mounting bracket should
be installed on the lower back wall of the appliance. See

D. Resetting Temperature Cutoff Switch
The heater is protected with a safety device to prevent
overheating. Should the heater overheat, an automatic
cutoff will turn the heater OFF. It will not turn ON auto-
matically without being reset. If it overheats for any rea-
son, it can be reset by:
1. Turn appliance to OFF.
2. Unplug at wall or shut-off circuit breaker.
3. Plug in or turn on circuit breaker and turn ON the
appliance.
CAUTION: If appliance overheats repeatedly, discon-
tinue use and call customer / technical support.
CAUTION: If you need to continuously reset the heater,
unplug the appliance and contact customer / technical
support.
C. Room Temperature and Thermostat
Function
The temperature display on the remote control is a set
point for the desired temperature of the room in which
the appliance is installed. The Thermostat button on the
remote can be used to set the desired room temperature.
The heater will only operate if the remote control tem-
perature set point is higher than the actual room tempera-
ture. The heater will not operate if the actual temperature
is greater than the remote control temperature set point.
This function can also be used as a thermostat, under the
following conditions:
• When the remote control display set point is selected
to be a desired room temperature, if the room tem-
perature does reach the desired temperature on the
remote, the appliance heater will turn OFF automati-
cally.
• When the remote control display set point is selected
to be a desired room temperature, if the room tem-
perature decreases below the remote control set
point, then the heater will turn ON automatically.
Note: The actual room temperature is measured by a
hidden sensor located behind the glass front of the appli-
ance. During certain situations, this sensor temperature
can be slightly different than either the remote control lo-
cation, or the overall space being heated. For this rea-
son, the remote control set point temperature may need
to be set slightly higher or lower than expected room tem-
perature for the heater function to work as desired.
