The Heat-Zone® 240V kit is tested and safe when installed
in accordance with this installation manual. This kit is
carefully engineered and must be installed only as speci-

ed. Modifying the kit or any of its components will void
the warranty, and may possibly cause a re hazard.

CAUTION: Installation of this appliance should only be

carried out by an authorized person. All relevant codes

and regulations laid down by the gas piping authorities,
municipal building regulations, electrical wiring regula­tions and the requirements of the AS5601 Gas Installation
code must be observed.

Preliminary Preparation

1. Plan the location of the heater and the warm air duct
run(s). See Figure 1 for potential installation options.

Venting Guidelines:

MAXIMUM Duct Run = 6 m for useful heat output.

Insulated duct included with kit will not lose signicant heat.

MINIMUM Duct Run = None: For runs out from the heater

to adjacent room OR down to the room below.

MINIMUM Duct Run = 787 mm top of heater to room above.

• Maintain smooth turns in duct to ensure maximum heat

output.

• If using optional non-insulated pipe, as described in

Step 6, heat loss will occur and shorter duct runs will
yield higher heat output.

Installation

1. Remove the cover plate or knockout from the side or

top of the heater and discard it.

2. Center the duct collar around the exposed hole and

attach it to the heater with 3 screws. NOTE: Do this

BEFORE nal positioning of the heater. See Figure 2.

See MEZZO-AU Installation
Manual for full instructions.

3.

Determine the location for the air register/fan housing

as-

sembly. Cut a 127 x 346 mm hole between framing

members (wall studs or oor joists).

4. Mount and secure the fan housing assembly to framing

members so the front surface is 6 mm below the n­ished wall or oor surface. Use the adjustable mounting

brackets and screws provided in the kit. See Figure 4.
NOTE: The brackets can be rotated 180º and mounted
to the back side of the framing member if necessary.
