PLACEMENT: For best results install the NLW heater on an inside wall. Headers and bracing are not necessary.
NOTE: The wall can must be installed in the TOP UP (vertical) position only. Heater is not approved for ceiling mount.
THERMOSTAT: A built-in double pole thermostat is included.
REQUIRED MINIMUM distance of 6 inches from adjacent surfac-
es and 6 inches from the floor (See Figure 3). However, Cadet
RECOMMENDS 12 inches from adjacent surfaces and floor for
longer and cleaner performance. The maximum distance from the
floor to the bottom of the heater is 24 inches. Heaters must be
spaced at least 3 feet apart.
Secure the wall can to the studs with screws through the larger
(3/16 inch) holes. (See Figures 1 and 2).
Cut a hole 14 1/4 inches wide by 19 1/4 inches high next to a wall
stud. REQUIRED MINIMUM distance of 6 inches from adjacent
surfaces and 6 inches from the floor (See Figure 3). However, Ca
-
det RECOMMENDS 12 inches from adjacent surfaces and floor
for longer and cleaner performance. The maximum distance from
the floor to the bottom of the heater is 24 inches. Heaters must be
spaced at least 3 feet apart.
