WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

This heater is heavy and awkward to lift. It is recommended and safer to install the heater with two people. Use caution as to not drop the heater which could cause personal injury. Verify that the heater is securely mounted before leaving the heater unsupervised.

The wall must be vertically plumb and capable of carrying the weight of the Munchkin Contender and its related components.

The building frame (studs) must be 16" on cen- ter. If not, you must use 1/2" minimum plywood 24" x 48", fastened with at least (14) #12 x 3" (3/16" x 3") round head tapping screws to the frame of the building to provide proper support for the heater. Alternate methods of mounting must not be used. (ex. toggle bolts, hollow wall anchors) or any other fastener other than #12 x 3" (3/16" x 3") round head tapping screws.

CAUTION

D.INSTALLATION STEPS

1)Prior to lifting the Munchkin Contender Heater onto the wall, use the enclosed template to level and locate the 2 primary screws (#12 x 3" [3/16" x 3"]) round head tapping screw leaving about 1/4" under the screw head to the wall surface to allow for access to the keyway slot which is located in the back of the heater panel. It is extremely important that the line on the template is level when locating the first 2 screws. Failure to do so will result in an uneven or out of level installation.

2)Remove the Munchkin Contender cover and locate the 2 keyway slots over the screws, then lower the heater onto the smallest part of the keyway slot.

3)Once the heater is mounted on the first 2 screws, finish tightening the first two screws to the back panel, then install the 6 additional screws of the same size to the back panel holes. This will provide additional strength and support to the Munchkin Contender Heater.

If the Munchkin Contender is not vertically plumb, improper and unsatisfactory operation may occur. This will cause excessive condensation build-up causing unnecessary maintenance and nuisance fault codes.
