Mounting Bracket
The mounting bracket is located in the pack-
age tray. Remove mounting bracket from

Methods For Attaching
Mounting Bracket To Wall
Only use last hole on each end of mounting
bracket to attach bracket to wall. These two
holes are 16 inches apart from their centers.
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.
WARNING: Maintain minimum
clearances shown in Figure 11. If
you can, provide greater clear-
ances from floor and joining wall.
2. Mark screw locations on wall (see Fig-
ure 11).
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.
