or cloth wall covering or operating
heater where impurities (such as
tobacco smoke, aromatic candles,
cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps,
etc.) are present in the air may discolor
walls.
Locating Heater
This heater is designed to be mounted
on the wall. The heater can also be
located on a non-combustible floor,
away from a wall by using the floor
mounting stands included with the
heater. If installed on combustible
flooring such as carpeting, tile or other
combustible material other than wood
flooring, the heater must be placed on
a metal or wood panel extending the
full width and depth of the appliance.
For convenience and efficiency, install
the heater:
• Where there is easy access for
operation, inspection, and service.
• In the coldest part of the room.

mounting bracket to hollow walls (wall
areas between studs) or to solid walls
(concrete or masonry).

mounting bracket is level. For wall
stud mounting locate one end of the
mounting bracket over a wall stud.
