Methods For Attaching Mounting Bracket
To Wall
Only use last hole on each end of mounting
bracket to attach bracket to wall. These two
holes are 14" (35.6 cm) apart from their cen-
ters. Attach mounting bracket to wall in one
of two ways:
1. Attaching to wall stud
2. Attaching to wall anchor
Attaching to Wall Stud:
This method pro-
vides the strongest hold. Insert mounting
screws through mounting bracket and into
wall studs.
Attaching to Wall Anchor:
This method al-
lows you to attach mounting bracket to hollow
walls (wall areas between studs) or to solid
walls (concrete or masonry).
Decide which method better suits your needs.
Either method will provide a secure hold for
the mounting bracket.

heater will be located. Make sure mount-
ing bracket is level.
