Attaching Mounting Bracket to Wall
Use holes on each end of mounting bracket to attach bracket to wall. These holes are 16 inches apart. Attach mounting bracket to wall in one of two following ways.
1.Attach to wall studs
2.Attach to wall anchor
Attaching to Wall Stud:
This way is the best providing the strongest mounting in wood frame houses.
Attaching to Wall Anchor:
This way allows you to attach mounting bracket to hollow walls (wall areas between studs) or to solid walls (con- crete or masonry).
Decide which way best suits your needs. Either method will provide a secure hold for the mounting bracket.
1.Tape mounting bracket to wall where heater will be located. Make sure mounting bracket is level. For wall stud mounting locate one end of the mounting bracket over a wall stud.
WARNING: Maintain minimum clearances shown in figure 7. If you can, provide greater clearances from the floor and joining wall.
2.Mark screw locations on wall (see figure 7).
3.Remove tape and mount bracket from wall.
