Methods For Attaching Mounting Bracket

To Wall

 

 

Only use last hole on each end of mounting bracket

to attach bracket to wall. These two holes centers are

13 inches (33 cm) apart. Attach mounting bracket to

wall in one of two ways:

 

 

1.Attaching to wall stud

2.Attaching to wall anchor

Attaching to Wall Stud: This method provides the strongest hold. Insert mounting screws through mounting bracket and into wall studs.

Attaching to Wall Anchor: This method allows you to attach mounting bracket to hollow walls (wall areas between studs) or to solid walls (concrete or masonry).

Decide which method better suits your needs. Either method will provide a secure hold for the mounting bracket.

Marking Screw Locations

1.Tape mounting bracket to wall where heater will be located. Make sure mounting bracket is level.
