that receptacles also deteriorate due to aging and continuous use: check periodically
for signs of overheating or deformations evidenced by the plug. Should this occur,
do not use the receptacle and CALL your electrician.
22.Check that neither the appliance nor the power cable has been damaged in any way
during transportation.
23.Make sure that no pieces of polystyrene or other packaging material have been left
between one element of the appliance and another. It may be necessary to pass over
the appliance with a vacuum cleaner.
24.When switching on the appliance for the first time, you may notice a slight odour
which is normal with new electrical appliances. Allow odour to dissipate by running

Antes del montaje:
1. En techos terminados, primero busca la viga y marca la ubicación en el techo.
2. En techos con vigas de más de 45.7 cm/18”, sigue la sección a continuación, “Creación de una placa
de montaje”.
3. Si eliges colocar el calefactor donde las vigas no coincidan con los orificios del soporte de montaje del
calefactor, sigue la sección a continuación, "Creación de una placa de montaje".
4.
Riesgo de incendio - mantén los materiales inflamables tales como muebles almohadas, ropa de
cama, papel, ropa y cortinas, al menos a 3 pies (0.9m) del frente del calefactor y completamente alejados
de los lados y de la parte posterior del aparato.
2. PARA INSTALAR EL SOPORTE DE MONTAJE
El soporte de montaje debe estar sujeto a una viga. No montar el calefactor en las vigas puede resultar en
lesiones y/o riesgo de incendio.
Creación de una placa de montaje (si no es necesario, continúa con la instalación de montaje 2a o 2b)
Querrás crear una placa de montaje para cualquiera de estas situaciones:
- Cuando las vigas estén separadas por más de 45.7 cm (18");
- Si el calefactor debe montarse en ángulo con las vigas en una esquina o;
- Si el calefactor debe montarse en un techo suspendido.
La placa de montaje debe medir aproximadamente 2.54 cm/1” de grosor y 5.1 cm x 45.72 cm/2” x 18” o lo
suficientemente larga como para abarcar dos vigas. Procede a continuación y elige entre la instalación de
montaje 2a o 2b para asegurar la placa de montaje en la posición deseada en la viga. Continúa con la
instalación siguiendo las instrucciones para la instalación de montaje del soporte del calefactor deseada.
a. Instalación de montaje giratorio
1. Con una broca de 3.2 mm (1/8 de pulgada), taladra un orificio en el centro de cada ranura tipo ojo
de cerradura marcada.
2. Usando el orificio central en el soporte de montaje, pasa el tirafondo (incluido) a través del orificio y
coloca la arandela de protección (incluida) en el perno.
3. Levanta el conjunto hasta el orificio de la viga perforado e inserta el perno en el orificio.
4. Con una llave de dados, aprieta el perno hasta que el soporte esté ajustado contra el techo.
b. Instalación de montaje en la ranura tipo ojo de cerradura
El soporte de montaje se puede unir a una sola viga (Fig. B) o abarcar dos vigas (Fig. C). En un cielo raso
terminado, las vigas pueden cubrirse con drywall. Si se fija al cielo raso sin terminar con vigas
expuestas, continúa con el paso 3.
1. Ubica y marca la localización del centro de las vigas en el área de montaje. Las vigas suelen tener 3.8 cm
(1½ pulgada) de ancho y estar a 40.6 cm o 45.7 cm (16 o 18 pulgadas) de separación. Por lo general,
corren paralelas a la dimensión estrecha de la habitación.
2. Usando el soporte de montaje como guía, alinea una de las ranuras tipo ojo de cerradura en cada
extremo del soporte con una o dos vigas y marca las aberturas ranuradas. Si no puedes alinear los
orificios en el soporte con las vigas, tendrás que utilizar otros métodos de montaje (prueba con “Montaje
giratorio o Creación de una placa de montaje”).
3. Con una broca de 3.2 mm (1/8 de pulgada), taladra un orificio en el centro de cada ranura tipo ojo de
cerradura marcada.
4. Instala los dos tornillos (incluidos), dejando un espacio de aproximadamente 6.4 mm (¼ de pulgada)
entre la cabeza del tornillo y la superficie de montaje.
5. Desliza el soporte de montaje sobre las cabezas de los tornillos y desliza el soporte para encajar los
tornillos en las ranuras.
6. Aprieta firmemente los tornillos.
