Wall Cabinet Kit, Corner Cabinet Kit or Custom Cabinet Installation

The Cabinet must provide access to the wall outlet.

For ease of electrical hookup, you may wish to install the heater near an existing outlet. A 15 amp, 120 volt circuit is required. A dedicated circuit is preferred but not essential in all cases. A dedicated circuit will be required if, after installation, the circuit trips or fuse blows on a regular basis while the heater is operating. Additional heaters on the same circuit may exceed the current rating of the circuit breaker.

If using a wall cabinet or corner cabinet, refer to the installation instructions supplied with the kit. For custom cabinets, frame and construct with the opening and depth dimensions listed in Figures 3.1 and 3.2.

Before plugging the heater into the wall outlet, make sure all control switches are in the “OFF” position.

￿• Before finishing the cabinet, the heater must be set into the cabinet and the power cord routed to the electrical outlet. If the power cord does not reach the outlet, a No. 16-AWG minimum wire size extension cord rated for a minimum of 1875 watts may be used. Use minimum length and do not coil cord.

To complete the heater installation, refer to Section 5.

Non-Cabinet or Chase Installation

Follow recommended framing dimensions in Figures 3.1 and 3.2.

Set the heater into the framed opening. Secure the heater in place using the nailing fl anges on both sides of the heater and nail to the framing.

To fi nish out the heater, follow the instructions found in Section 6.

To complete heater installation, see Section 5.
