an exterior or interior wall. The heater may be recessed up to 5-
3/8 inches with studs spaced 16 inches center-to-center, or may
be mounted directly to the wall surface.
Air is drawn in through a grille at the top of the heater by a single
speed fan pushing it down over the heating element and
discharged into the room through a grille near the floor.
The heating element uses 240V line voltage to produce a heating
output of 31,400 Btu/hr.
The heater is fully automatic by utilizing a wall mounted
thermostat for temperature control.

baked-on finish.
