Install your fan heater in an unobstructed location at least
6 in. (15 cm) off the ground.
TIP: You can access the fan heater’s controls more easily
if you install it 12 in. (30 cm) off the ground.
ATTENTION: To avoid any risk of overheating, leave a
clearance of at least 36 in. (90 cm) in front of the fan
heater and 6 in. (15 cm) on either side of it.
No objects or furniture such as, but not limited to,
blankets, towels, a bed, a laundry basket, clothing,
papers, etc., should come into contact with fan heater.
Keep these items at least 36 in. (90 cm) away from it.
It is not designed to be used or stored in wet areas
or areas containing flammable liquids, combustible
materials or corrosive, abrasive, chemical, explosive
and flammable substances such as, but not limited
to, paint, gasoline, chlorine, sawdust and cleaning
products.
Make sure that objects or furniture near the heater can
withstand the heat it gives off.
Do not install the heater on a wall behind a door.
If a piece of furniture is nearby, make sure the fan heater will
not impede the opening of its drawers or doors.
To recess your fan heater in a wall, consider the following:
• Check the construction of your wall. There should be at
least 4 in. (10 cm) from the outside of your finishing and
the inside of your wall. A 2 × 4 wood stud construction
with a 1/2 in. thick finishing are considered compliant.
• Avoid installing in an exterior wall as this decreases the
wall’s insulation.
• Consider the location of the studs in your wall. One side
of the heater must be attached to a stud.
• Consider the location of pipes, electrical wires or other
components that may be present inside the wall and
damaged during installation.
