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

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.

right up to the ange that

surrounds the opening.

• Semi Permanent - nish

around edge using ashing

material (not included)

• Flexible - create opening big

enough to access mounting

anges and a false front that

can be removed.

WARNING: Disconnect

power before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to

reduce the risk of re, electric

shock or damage to persons.

16. The media plate that came with the Opti-myst Cassette is not required and can be discarded.

Operation

The heater can be controlled by remote, or the tethered controller through the Opti-myst Cassette. Please refer to cassette User's Guide for details.

NOTE: The Opti-myst Pro

Box Heater cannot be operated independently from the Opti-myst Cassette.
