INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: Mount Heater to Wall

1.Locate wall studs closest to supply wires and position heater (See Figure 1). NOTE: Wire connection is from left side only on standard models.

2.Carefully remove front cover from heater by lifting cover up from the bottom, and then outwards.

Set aside.

3.Remove wiring compartment cover, held by one screw, from side you wish to wire. (Figure 2).

4.Remove slotted knockout closest to the supply wires and install a strain relief connector.

5.Pull supply wires through the connector and secure, leaving 6 inch wire leads for later use.

6.NOTE: If you will be installing a heater mounted EBKN thermostat, you should do so now before mounting your baseboard to the wall. See your EBKN thermostat Owner’s Guide for instructions.

7.Position the heater and fasten one end of heater to wall stud with screw in safe drill area as shown in Figure 3. Before fastening to wall stud at other end, place level across top of heater and make sure heater is level. (Figure 4).

8.After confirming heater is level, fasten other end of heater to wall stud with screw to wall.

STEP 2: Wiring Provisions / Wiring

This heating unit is designed for permanent installation. All wiring should be routed in compliance with the National Electrical Code and all local codes, where applicable. A maximum of No. 10 AWG wire may be used with this heater. All wiring should be planned and run before heating units are set in place. Standard units are wired from left end of the heater only. (See Figure 5 for internal heater wiring).

When wiring unit through rear, remove knock out and place heater on wall. Mark knockout location on wall. When running conduit or cable to unit through flooring and knock out in bottom of wiring compartment, measure 1-1/2” (38mm) from wall and 2” (51mm) from left end of unit. Cut a 7/8” (22mm) hole in floor centered on the measured location (See Figure 6).

Connect the grounding lead to the green ground screw (provided), using a connector. (See Figure 5).

From Heater

WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. TURN OFF ALL POWER AT THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BOARD SUPPLYING POWER TO THE HEATER BEFORE DOING ANY ELECTRICAL WIRING.

WARNING! Risk of Fire. Heater must be kept clear of all obstructions:

12” in front and above; 6” on both sides minimum.

IMPORTANT! It is extremely important that you verify the electrical supply wires are the same voltage

as the heater (i.e. 120 volt heater to 120 volt power supply and 240 volt heater to 240 volt power supply). If replacing an existing heater, check the labels of the old heater and replace using the same voltage. Hooking a 240 volt heater to a 120 volt power supply will drastically reduce the heater’s output. Hooking a 120 volt heater to a 240 volt power supply will destroy the heater.
