Flush Mount Enclosure
The Flush Mount Enclosure is an ideal way to neatly install the HEATSTRIP® Max or Max-DC into a ceiling. They
are available for both HEATSTRIP® Max models, and are supplied as a one-piece unit for mounting of heaters.
Flush mounting can be used with plaster or wood lined ceiling materials.
An ideal mounting height is 2.4m-3.0m, with a maximum ceiling height of 3.5m in an outdoor environment. Maxi-
mum mounting heights should be strictly followed, otherwise the performance of the units may be reduced.
The facia of the enclosure is manufactured from 316 Stainless Steel and the rear casing is black zinc coated steel.
Please refer to the Installation Manual for more detailed installation information.

Safety
In operaon, this heater is VERY HOT— do not touch any part of the heater while it is turned on. Do not touch
any part unl 30 minutes aer it is turned o.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or intellec-
tual capabilies, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instrucon
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to en-
sure they do not play with the appliance.
Do not allow any cables, furnishings, ammable materials or other items come in contact with any surface of
the Flush Mount Enclosure.
If installed in wet areas, the heater switches or controls must be located so that they cannot be touched by
persons in the bath or shower.
The Flush Mount Enclosure needs to be installed as per the installaon instrucons paying special aenon to
the minimum clearances. The heater needs to be mounted on a rigid bracket or xing.
See the heater Operaons, Installaon and Maintenance Manual for the heater specic guidelines.
Maintenance
The Flush Mount Enclosure is made from durable materials, however regular care and maintenance of your
product will help prolong its life.
It is recommended that you wipe down your Flush Mount Enclosure and with a so cloth gently wipe the sur-
faces of the FME with a mild detergent to remove the built up contaminants from the environment. Then with
a clean cloth ensure all detergent is removed.
All chemicals in the atmosphere including cigaree smoke, polluon etc. will tarnish the surface of the Flush
Mount Enclosure. In this case, addional cleaning and maintenance may be required. The cleaning process at
least every three months will reduce the amount of build up and keep it looking as best it can. If the Flush
Mount Enclosure is in a corrosive environment eg. salt spray, we recommend that you clean the FME every
week.
Before cleanings or inspecon acvity, the heater must be switched o and cooled down completely.
Do not use any abrasive materials or products to clean the Flush Mount Enclosure, this includes solvents, citrus
based cleaners or other harsh cleaning products.
When handling the Flush Mount Enclosure, ensure that your hands are clean or that you use clean gloves as
grease or dirt can mark the surface of the heater.
Do not use high pressure water to clean Flush Mount Enclosure. It is not recommended to hose down the FME
and heater as water may get into the roof cavity.
