WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS:
CAUTION: PLEASE MAKE SURE THE HEATER IS UNPLUGGED AND COOLED
DOWN TO ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE WALL MOUNTING THIS UNIT.
This unit has the unique feature of using the base as the wall mount
bracket. (Wall mounting hardware is not supplied.) Refer to Figure 2. To
install the heater on the wall, follow these easy steps:
Note: If your unit has casters attached, you’ll need to remove them. If the
base is still attached to the bottom of the heater, you’ll need to remove it
(follow step 5 in assembly instructions).
1. Select a location on the wall where you would like to have the
heater mounted.
2. Use the base as a template for hole locations
3. Use appropriate hardware for different mounting surfaces (see below).
Selected hardware must be able to support a minimum of
twenty-pound weight.
4. When securing the base/wall mount to the wall, keep the lock tab
to your left.
5. Once the base/wall mount is in place, align the mounting tabs on the
back of the heater with the holes in the base/wall mount and slide the
heater to the right until it stops and is secure.
6. To remove the heater, simply slide it to the left.
NOTE: This unit is not to be mounted in ways other than shown in Figure 2.
There are many ways to attach your heater to vertical walls if desired.
Please, use the applicable section of this manual to safely install
your heater.
For wood walls
You’ll need a 1/8" drill bit and two #10-12 x 1 1⁄2" screws
1. Use the base of the heater as a template to outline the hole location
2. Using 1/8" drill bit, drill 1 1⁄4" deep pilot holes
3. Protrude the screws through the two outer holes in the base and secure
the base to the wall
4. Slide the heater onto the base
For drywalls with studs
We recommend that you use wooden studs behind the drywall for better
support and performance of your heater. Remember that in most
American homes, studs behind the wall are spaced 16" apart and the
drywall is 1⁄2"-5/8" thick. Note that the distance between the two farthest
holes of the base is 16" as well.
1. Find studs behind the drywall.
2. Use the base of the heater as a template to center the holes on studs
3. Using 1/8" drill bit, drill 1 3⁄4" deep pilot holes
4. Protrude #10-12 x 2" screws through the two outer holes in the base
and screw them into pre-drilled holes
5. Slide the heater onto the base
For drywalls without studs and other solid walls
1. Use the base of the heater as a template to outline the hole location
2. Using 1⁄4" drill bit, drill pilot holes through the wall
3. Insert 1⁄4" plastic anchors into the holes
4. Protrude #10-12 x 1 1/2'’ screws through the two outer holes in the
base and screw them into the anchors
Slide the heater onto the base
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Unless wall mounted, place heater on a firm level floor surface.
2. For heater operation, please set the Thermostat all the way to HI.
(See Figure 1)
3. Turn the Selector Control to desired heat setting
(LO for 750W or HI for 1500W).
4. The Power Light will remain lit during operation
Note: This unit does not have a fan. It warms the air by natural
convection.
THERMOSTAT INSTRUCTIONS:
1. You need to set thermostat on HI to start heater (See Figure 1).
Allow heater to operate and warm up the room.
2. When the desired temperature/comfort level is reached, lower the
thermostat setting until the heater stops operating.
3. The control will now automatically maintain the pre-set temperature
level by turning the heater ON and OFF. The Temperature Range
Display can be used as guidance, but will not provide exact
measurement.
Note: It is normal for the heater to cycle ON and OFF as it maintains the
preset temperature. To prevent the unit from cycling, you need to raise
the thermostat setting.
Note: The LED Display shows approximate temperature settings.
