Installation Guide
Only proceed with installation if your heater is compatible with our Electric
Baseboard Cover Kit. (Refer to the baseboard heater owner’s manual for the risks
associated with electric baseboard heaters .) If it does not meet the compatibility
requirements, then do not use our kit. For questions regarding your electric
baseboard heater’s instructions and safety warnings, please refer to the owner’s
manual provided by the manufacturer.
Step 1: Remove Front Panel (Optional)
Some electric baseboard heaters have front panels that are removeable, which
will need to be removed before you can proceed. To determine if your unit has a
removeable front panel, please refer to the manufacturer’s owner manual. If your
unit does have a removable panel, then remove it per the manual’s instructions;
otherwise, proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: Place Wall Brackets
Creating space around your electric baseboard heater is important. Our Electric
Baseboard Cover Kit is designed to sit 9-1/2 inches from the fi nished fl oor to the
top of the cover. To achieve this height, wall brackets (included with Kit) need to be
attached to the wall for the cover to be installed.
Note:
The cover is designed to have a ¾ inch gap between the fl oor and the bottom
of the cover for unrestricted air intake. A portion of the electric heater may be visible
from underneath the cover.
Step 2.1
Ensure the wall behind the baseboard heater is patched and painted up to 10” above
the fi nished fl oor.
Step 2.2
Locate the nearest stud (or some solid material behind the sheetrock) at both ends
of the heater.
Step 2.3
To make the job easy, locate and drill a pilot hole
9” above the fi nished fl oor.
Step 2.4
Using the screws provided, secure one wall
bracket at each end of the heater. A 6’ panel
requires three wall brackets (shown in image).
Step 2.5
There will be a thin gap between the wall
bracket and the wall. This is intentional. This
gap will receive the lip on the back side of the
Baseboarders® panel (shown in image).
