Installation

WARNING: ANY

INSTALLATION AND
SERVICE WORK SHOULD BE
PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED AND
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL. ALL
INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY
WITH ALL LOCAL CODES AND
BY-LAWS, AND INSPECTED AND
APPROVED FOR OPERATION BY
LOCAL GOVERNING AUTHORITY
PRIOR TO USE.

WARNING: Construction and

electrical wiring must comply with
local building codes and other
applicable regulations to reduce the

risk of re, electric shock and injury

to persons.

Opti-myst Cassette

The Opti-myst Pro Box Heater works
exclusively with the
Opti-myst Cassette (CDFI1000­PRO). Controls for the heater are
found on the cassette.

New Construction

When determining a location for
the Opti-myst® Pro Box Heater,
ensure that the unit will not be
susceptible to drafts, vents, ceiling
fans and other air currents. Similar
to a candle, large movements of
air will affect the unit's ability to

create and maintain the ame effect.

Hardwire Installation

The Opti-myst Pro Box Heater is
supplied in an assembled state
and is designed to be permanently
installed. The unit comes ready for
hardwire installation.

WARNING: Do not attempt

to wire your own new outlets or

circuits. To reduce the risk of re,

electric shock or injury to persons,
always use a licensed electrician.

!

NOTE: Please read all

instructions before installing.

1. For rough in framing, the
opening should follow the
recommended dimensions
located in Figure 1.

!

NOTE: Dimensions provided

are minimum clearances and will
vary depending on type of support

framing and nishing options.

!

NOTE: Framing should be

constructed to support 160 lbs
(73 kg)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

re, do not store or use gasoline or
other ammable vapours or liquids

in the vicinity of the unit.

2. Allow at least 4 ft. (122 cm) of
service cable for connecting

Installation

a power supply wire to the
Opti-myst Cassette when installing before

nishing wall.

!

NOTE: A 15 amp, 120 volt alternating

current (VAC) circuit is required. A dedicated
circuit is preferred but not essential in all
cases. A dedicated circuit will be required if,
after installation, the circuit breaker trips or the
fuse blows on a regular basis when the heater
is operating. Additional appliances on the
same circuit may exceed the current rating of
the circuit breaker.

around edge using ashing

material (not included)

• Flexible - create opening big

enough to access mounting

anges and a false front that

can be removed.

required and can be discarded.
After completing installation, place
the media tray that came with the
Opti-myst Pro Box Heater in position
over the Opti-myst Cassette. The
tray can be used to hold a variety
of media. Please note that the tray
gets warm, so choose materials
appropriately.
