• Unit requires a minimum of two (2) wall studs in order to ensure

a secure installation

Three possible installation

methods:

• Installation method: Surface mount; In-wall Recessed; or

Flush mount

• Hardwired or plug-in method

WARNING: Ensure the power

cord is not installed so that it is pinched or against a sharp

edge and ensure that the

power cord is stored or secured
