General
THERM-Max Salamanders are shipped with most components
pre-assembled. Care should be taken when unpacking the
shipping carton to avoid damage to the unit and the
components enclosed. The salamander can be placed on a
countertop or mounted to a brick or cement wall. The following
installation instructions must be performed before operating the
salamander.
ELECTRIC SHOCk HAzARD:
• Unit must be installed by a qualified electrician.
Installation must conform to all local electrical codes.
Installation by unqualified personnel will void unit
warranty and may lead to electric shock or burn, as well
as damage to unit and/or its surroundings.
• Unit is not weatherproof. Locate unit indoors where
ambient air temperature is a minimum of 21°C (70°F)
and a maximum of 29°C (85°F).

• Install unit on and around non-combustible surfaces
with non-combustible construction only. Ensure
surface construction has no combustible material
against underside. In all cases, such construction
shall extend at least 305 mm (12″) beyond equipment
