INSTALLATION - Cont’d.

STEP 4. INSTALLING THE BASEBOARD HEATER

a)Use only factory supplied parts. Do not modify in any way.

b)Using a measuring tape, measure the thickness of the wall. See Figure 5.

c)Using a tube cutter, cut the air intake pipe 1.5” [3.8 cm] longer than the wall thickness (no less than 5-1/2”). Measuring from the threaded end, cut the vent exhaust pipe 3.0” [7.62 cm] longer than the wall thickness (no less than 7.5” {19.05 cm}). After cutting, check the inside of both pipes for burrs. Both pipes must be smooth and clean without any reduction to the inside diameter. NOTE: Correct pipe length is critical to proper operation.

d)Attach vent exhaust tube to heater by screwing threaded end into inducer outlet. See Figure 5.

e)Attach air intake pipe to back of heater using six #8 screws provided. See Figure 6.

f)Slide the indoor intake gasket over the air intake pipe and against the back of the heater.

g)Place the vent tubes into center of the hole cut through wall and slide the entire heater towards the wall, feeding the 115 V. line and thermostat wires through the appropriate holes in the rear, bottom, or right side of the heater.

h)Level and secure heater to wall with screws (not provided) through mounting holes in back of heater. Anchors (not provided) may be required. See Figure 7.

NOTE: Mounting the heater on a wall that is not plumb or over tightening mounting screws may cause undue stress which may result in excessive noise during warm-up and cool-down.

i)From outside the house, slide weather seal over air intake pipe and against outside wall. See Figure 8.

STEP 5. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

If this heater is replacing a 220 volt electric baseboard heater, the circuit must be converted to 115 volt by a licensed electrician. This appliance must only be connected to a properly grounded 115 V. electrical circuit. DO NOT CONNECT TO 220 VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT.

USING FACTORY INSTALLED POWER CORD

a)Unwrap power cord and plug directly into nearest 115 volt electrical outlet. Do not use extension cord.

HARD WIRING HEATER

a)Remove junction box cover. See Figure 9.

b)Disconnect factory wired power cord, remove power cord from junction box and discard.

c)Install electrical wiring into junction box through appropriate knockout. Secure with strain relief fitting supplied.

d)Connect wires to factory installed wires in junction box. Secure with wire nuts provided.

e)Secure ground wire under screw holding junction box to heater back. See Figure 9.

f)Replace and secure junction box cover.

CAUTION:	Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors could cause improper or
	dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

STEP 6. THERMOSTAT CONNECTION

a)This heater is designed to operate on a 24 V. thermostat (supplied). Do not connect to existing line voltage thermostat.

b)Connect thermostat wire to purple and white wire in control compartment (labeled thermostat wire). Secure connection with wire nuts.

CONTROLLING MORE THAN ONE HEATER WITH A SINGLE THERMOSTAT

c)Up to a maximum of three baseboard heaters may be controlled by a single thermostat, provided all heaters are in the same room with the wall thermostat.

d)If more than one baseboard heater is being controlled from a single thermostat, the 115 V. supply must be supplied from the same circuit. When wiring more than one baseboard heater to a single 24 V. thermostat, the baseboard heaters must be hard wired in parallel. Do not use individual cord sets. See Figure 10.
