The thermostat sensing bulb has been placed inside the heater for
protection during shipping.
Locating Thermostat Sensing Bulb (for thermostat
applications)
1. Remove front panel of heater [for 10,000 Btu/Hr (2.9 KW) heater,
see Figure 11 page 9 or for 20,000 Btu/Hr (5.9 KW) heater see
Figure 14, page 10].
2. Locate thermostat sensing bulb just under burner assembly.
IMPORTANT:
Attach thermostat sensing bulb to back of heater for
proper operation.
Attaching Thermostat Sensing Bulb
1. Remove thermostat sensing bulb from holders inside heater.
Route through slot opening in bottom of heater.
2. Place clamp on thermostat sensing bulb as shown in Figure 5.

Attaching to wall stud method
For attaching mounting screw to wall stud
1. Drill hole at marked location using 9/64" drill bit.
2. Insert mounting screw into wall stud.
3. Tighten screw until 1/16" (1.6 mm) space (thickness of penny)
is between screwhead and wall.
Attaching to wall anchor method
Follow instructions below to attach mounting screws to hollow walls
(wall areas between studs) or solid walls (concrete or masonry).
1. Drill holes at marked locations using 5/16" drill bit. For solid
walls (concrete or masonry), drill at least 1
1
/4" (3.2 cm) deep.
2. Fold wall anchor (see Figure 7).
3. Insert wall anchor (wings first) into hole. Tap anchor flush
to wall.
4.
For thin walls [1/2" (1.27 cm) or less], insert red key into wall
anchor. Push red key to “pop” open anchor wings (see Figure 8).
IMPORTANT:
Do not hammer key! For thick walls [over 1/2"
(1.27 cm) thick] or solid walls, do not pop open wings.
