It is ALWAYS recommended to order your unit with or without the thermostat for your particular application. If your unit has 
been ordered incorrectly please contact the factory and we can exchange it for the proper unit. Adding a built-in thermostat 
after installation is complicated and could result in creating wiring errors and shorting out the unit.

Instructions for wall mount heater with built-in thermostat

It is

 extremely important

 to verify the electrical power supply is the same voltage as the heater you are installing. 

208, 240, 

277 and 120 Volt heaters are not interchangeable.

 Powering a 208, 240 or 277 Volt unit with 120 Volt supply wires will 

reduce the heater's output by approximately 75%. Powering a 120 Volt unit with 208, 240 or 277 Volt supply wires will destroy 
the heater and voids all warranties.

NOTICE

: For heaters without built-in thermostats, using remote or wall-mounted thermostats: the power 

must

 be brought to 

the heater first (not to the wall-mounted or remote thermostat). This is necessary to provide power for the fan to cool down the 
element after the thermostat has opened. Use only a single pole line voltage wall thermostat or switch to control this heater.

CAUTION: Open the circuit breaker supplying the heater before attempting installation, maintenance, or repairs. Lock 
or tag circuit breaker panel door. Failure to do so could result in serious electrical shock, burns, or possible death.

1.  Remove heater contents from carton and check for shipping damage.

2.  Remove grille by loosening the four mounting screws along the sides
 

of the front panel.

3.  Detach interior assembly from the wall can by removing the four
 

screws along each side of the interior panel. Lift and tilt assembly

 

away from the top of the wall can. Free the bottom edge from the

 

metal lip inside the wall can. Place the interior assembly in a safe    

 

location until the wall can is mounted.

4.  Remove one knockout from the wall can and thread supply wires
 

through the hole. Use an approved cable connector to prevent wires

 

from chafing. Connect groundwire to green pigtail.  

5.  Mount heater wall can on wall studs a minimum of 6" from side wall
 

and 4" from floor, using the holes provided in the sides of the box.

 

The face of the box should be flush with the finished wall. Installation

 

of the interior and grille to the wallbox cover an approximate 5/8"  

 

 

periphery along the outer area of the opening.  

  
6.  After wall can is secured interior assembly leads may be attached    
 

to supply wires and interior secured to wall can. 

NOTE:

 The LPW    

 

wall heater is equipped with two steel elements having a capacity of

  

2250 Watts each, for a combined capacity of 4500 Watts. The heater is factory- 

 

wired at 4500 Watts. To adjust the heater for lower wattages remove the appropri 

 

ate colored wire according to the illustration and wattage diagram provided on the  

 

back side of this sheet. Be sure to insulate and secure the unused lead.

7.  Reinstall interior assembly on wallbox using screws provided.

8.  Mount grille to interior with screws provided.  

9.  Installation is now complete and the heater ready for use.
