NOTICE
CAUTION
WARNING
Dual Mounting
When mounting units side-by-side, a space not less
than 3″ (76 mm) must be maintained between units.
Dual units ordered from the factory are shipped with
a pre-assembled 3″ (76 mm) or 6″ (152 mm) spacer.
Installation of two or more separate units with
less than 3″ (76 mm) between housings may
result in premature failure of component parts.
Failure to provide proper spacing may result in
heat damage to electrical components.
Under Shelf Mounting
When mounting a unit under a shelf, use adjustable
angle brackets to assure proper spacing. Remote
control enclosures are recommended to keep
switches out of the heat zone and prevent premature
failure.
Pass-Through
If pass-through area is 12″ to 16″ (305 to 406 mm)
deep, a single unit can be used. For a 20″ to 24″ (508
to 610 mm) deep pass-through area, a dual unit is
recommended. Installation of multiple units must
have a minimum spacing of 3″ (76 mm) between
heaters.
Over Steam Table
When mounting over a steam table, a remote control
enclosure must be installed.
