have a clearance of 4 to 8 in [100 to 200mm] for ease of installation and service
Front clearance of 80in [2000mm] is required for steam absorption.
A top clearance is required of 24in [600mm] for access and for steam absorption to avoid any
condensing on the ceiling.

the Space blower.
2. Mark the wall or support according to the above holes location, and drill 2 holes to the
wall or support as per the size of anchors and/or screws.
3. Use anchors of sufficient size (at least 1/4in [6mm]). Insert those anchors and the 2
screws, ensure that the screw heads extends 1/4in [6mm] from the wall, so that the
Space box will be able to be hung on those 2 screws.
4. With Top cover removed, hung the Space blower onto the 2 screws.
Ensure that the Space blower is properly levelled.
Tighten the 2 screws. Re verify the level in the 2 direction X and Z axis.
5. Re-install the top cover to the Space blower.
Ensure that the mounting bracket is properly levelled.
1. With front cover removed, hung the IER electric steam humidifier onto the mounting
bracket.
2. Insert the bottom screw through the back plate of the humidifier and into the anchors
in the wall.
