DANGER
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD
KCV SERIES
Cove Heater
Read all wire sizing, voltage
requirements and safety data
to avoid personal injury and
property damage.
WARNING
It is extremely important to verify the electrical power supply is the same voltage as the heater being
installed. 240 and 120 Volt heaters are not interchangeable. Powering a 240 Volt unit with 120 Volt supply
wires will reduce heater output by approximately 75%. Powering a 120 Volt unit with 240 Volt supply
wires will destroy the heater and voids all guarantees and warranties.
CAUTION: Turn off power source supplying heater before attempting any installation, maintenance
or repairs. Lock or tag circuit breaker/fuse panel door. Failure to do so could result in serious
electrical shock, burns or possible death.
WARNINGS: To insure proper operation of this heater it should be a minimum of 6 feet above the
fl oor and no closer than 2½" below drywall ceiling (6" vinyl or drop ceilings). Draperies should clear
the front and top of this heater by 6". Draperies hung below the heater should have a 2½" clearance.
Do not block the heater in any manner. Never paint the heater.
MAINTENANCE & WARRANTY
Following the guidelines herein listed will result in a maintenance-free heater. There are no moving parts or motors to
maintain. Periodic dusting of the front panel is all that is suggested.
The KCV Cove Heater carries a one (1) year warranty from date of installation. Please refer to the manufacturer’s warranty statement for further information.
Sectional heaters are completely assembled and pre-wired. To prepare the heater for installation, carefully check the voltage to be used is the same as stated on the rating nameplate. Operating voltage can not exceed 5% of nameplate voltage.
Operating heater above listed voltage ratings voids all guarantees and warranties.

Following are some general guidelines:
• Do not recess this cove heater.
• Disconnect power at main panel.
• Make certain all wiring is in accordance with all
local codes and units are properly grounded.
• Voltage rating of heater should be the same as
supply load.
• Do not install the heater on vinyl wall coverings.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove heater from carton. Disassemble the
aluminum heating panel from the back support
frame. Remove knock out in junction box for
electrical supply connections.
2. To install back support frame on the wall
locate provided studs and pre-drill 3/16" holes
as needed. Use appropriate fasteners to securely
mount to wall.

3. Place each end of the aluminum heating panel
into the slots in corresponding junction boxes
(as shown). This will support the heater while
the electrical connections are made. Use the
appropriate amperage size insulated wiring
connectors for the electrical circuit load.
4. After wiring is complete, install the aluminum
heating panel by hanging the top edge onto the
top edge of the back support panel. Carefully
press the electrical wires into the junction boxes
making sure to not pinch any wires between the
junction box and the heating panel. Lightly
tighten the junction box cover screws provided.
Do not over tighten as the aluminum heating
panel will expand and contract during heating,
requiring it to move freely.
CAUTION
The heater should not be covered or blocked in any manner.
