Methods For Attaching
Mounting Bracket To Wall
Only use last hole on each end of mounting
bracket to attach bracket to wall. Attach
mounting bracket to wall in one of two ways
1. Attaching to wall stud
2. Attaching to wall anchor
Attaching to wall stud: This method pro-
vides the strongest hold. Insert mounting screws
through mounting bracket and into wall studs.
Attaching to wall anchor: This method
allows you to attach mounting bracket to
hollow walls (wall areas between studs) or to
solid walls (concrete or masonry).
Decide which method better suits your needs.
Either method will provide a secure hold for
the mounting bracket.
Marking Screw Locations
1. Tape mounting bracket to wall where
heater will be located. Make sure
mounting bracket is level.
Figure 7 - Mounting Bracket Clearances
WARNING: Maintain minimum
clearances shown in Figure 7. If
you can, provide greater clear-
ances from floor and joining wall.
2. Mark screw locations on wall (see Fig-
ure 7).
Note:
Only mark last hole on each end
of mounting bracket. Insert mounting
screws through these holes only.
3. Remove tape and mounting bracket
from wall.

For thick walls (over 1/2" thick) or solid
walls, do not pop open wings.
