ATTENTION: Read carefully before
attempting to install, operate or service
the Baseboard Heater. Retain these
instructions for future reference.

BASEBOARD HEATER

Commercial / Residential

2900/D SERIES

LOCATION OF HEATER

Heaters should be located to provide a blanket of heat
over the coldest wall of the room, preferably on a outside
wall under a window.

CAUTIONS AND WARNING STATEMENTS

1. Wiring procedures and connections should be in

accordance with national and local codes having
jurisdiction. Note: all baseboards must be grounded
in accordance with article 250 of the N.E.C.

2. Do not install baseboard heater below electrical

convenience receptacles (outlets).

3. Do not install insulation on any inside surface of this

baseboard heater. The over temperature control
may be rendered inoperable resulting in possible
hazard in the event of abnormal operation or
blockage.

4. High temperatures are present at outlet air

openings. Keep electrical cords, drapes and other
furnishings or objects clear of these openings.

5. To reduce risk of fire, do not store or use gasoline or

other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
the heater.

6. High temperatures, keep electrical cords, drapes

and other furnishings away from the heater.

IMPORTANT: OWNER SHOULD RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DRAPE PLACEMENT
NEAR
 BASEBOARD HEATER

1. Allow minimum clearance of 1” from drapes to

ceiling and to top of floor covering to permit air
circulation (example 1, figure 2.)

2. Hang full length drapes to provide a minimum of 2”

airspace between heater front and nearest drape fold
as shown in example 1, figure 2.

3. Hang short drapes to provide minimum of 6” clear

ance between bottom of drapes and top of heater,
preferably more (example 2, figure 2).

4. Do not under any condition allow drapery to come in

contact with heater. Some fabrics discolor in time
from exposure to sunlight or warm air. Check to make
sure drapery material will not discolor, shrink, or
stretch upon extended (1000 hour) exposure to
temperatures of 200

°F.

Heaters may be mounted directly to any floor sur-
face, including carpeting. Wall to wall carpet
(maximum thickness: 3/4”)  may extend under or to
the front of the baseboard heater. This is provided the
flooring material does not obstruct air flow to the
heater.

WIRING OF BASEBOARD

Refer to the Wiring Diagrams and Figure 1 for Knockout
Locations.

1. Ensure that electrical power supply is disconnected

at circuit breaker panel.
