Locating Wall Heater and Thermostat
Consider the following points before attempting to install the
heater:
1. Heater may be surface-mounted or recessed on any
interior or exterior wall if you are not using the optional rear
outlet.
2. If you are using the optional rear outlet, you must install on
an interior wall.
3. Maximum depth of recess is 5-3/8 inches.
4. Check the clearances needed. The side of the heater must
be at least 6-inches from a corner or wall divider (Figure 2).
5. Try to place the heater near the center of the space to be
heated for good air circulation. Do not install where a door
or draperies could swing over heater or optional rear outlet.
Do not put in a closet, alcove, hallway or other confined
space.
6. Be sure that electrical wiring can be brought to the heater.
7. To provide adequate clearance and service access, the
front of the heater must face the open room.
8. Choose a location for the thermostat about 5-feet above the
floor on an inside wall. The thermostat wire supplied with
your heater is 13 feet long, which should be enough to run
up through the attic so the thermostat can be a maximum of
16 feet from heater measured in a straight line, or
approximately 12 feet from the heater if the wire is run
under the floor. The thermostat should be sensing average
room temperature, avoid the following:
HOT SPOTS:
COLD SPOTS:
Concealed pipes or ducts Concealed pipes or ducts
Fireplaces
Stairwells-drafts
Registers
Doors-drafts
TV sets
Unheated rooms on
Radios other side of wall
Lamps
DEAD SPOTS:
Direct sunlight
Behind doors
Kitchen
Corners and alcoves
9. After picking a location that meets the requirements,
inspect the wall. Make sure there are no pipes, wiring, or
anything else that would interfere with heater or thermostat
installation. If required, move them or pick a new location.
