INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

READ & SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Heat-Light Combination

(with Night Light)

MODEL: 9960-R03

FOR BEST RESULTS

In a new construction site, install the housing (complete

with heater) during rough-in construction of the building. The
light assembly and the grille should be installed when the
finished ceiling is in place.

Installation in an existing, finished building requires an

accessible area (attic or crawl space) above the planned
location. See “INSTALLATION IN EXISTING
CONSTRUCTION.”

Do not install closer than 12 inches to a vertical surface.

Do not install over tub or shower enclosure.

For installation in sloped ceilings up to 12/12 pitch.

Ductwork must point up.

UNIT DIMENSIONS

Refer to Figure 1

for housing's dimensions.

NOTE: If there will be a finished second floor above,

the Model 9960 housing requires a minimum of 2" x 8"
joist construction for mounting.

WIRING AND DUCTWORK

1. Run the required wiring during rough-in stage of

construction.

2. Total connected load: 1680 watts.
3. Plan to run 120vAC, 60 Hz wiring (with ground) on a

separate 20 Amp circuit from a power source, through
the provided wall switch, to the housing’s junction box.
See wiring diagram.
