GAS-FIRED HEATER Installation Manual
PART 4: PREPARE MUNCHKIN CONTENDER
(CONTINUED)
D. INSTALLATION STEPS
1) Prior to lifting the Munchkin Contender
Heater onto the wall, use the enclosed
template to level and locate the 2 primary
screws (#12 x 3" [3/16" x 3"]) round head
tapping screw leaving about 1/4" under the
screw head to the wall surface to allow for
access to the keyway slot which is located in
the back of the heater panel. It is extremely
important that the line on the template is level
when locating the first 2 screws. Failure to do
so will result in an uneven or out of level
installation.
2) Remove the Munchkin Contender cover and
locate the 2 keyway slots over the screws,
then lower the heater onto the smallest part
of the keyway slot.
3) Once the heater is mounted on the first 2
screws, finish tightening the first two screws to
the back panel, then install the 6 additional
screws of the same size to the back panel
holes. This will provide additional strength and
support to the Munchkin Contender Heater.

anchors) or any other fastener other than #12 x
3" (3/16" x 3") round head tapping screws.
