CAUTION
INSTALLATION
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, THE APPLIANCE IS TO BE INSTALLED IN NONCOMBUSTIBLE SURROUNDINGS ONLY, WITH NO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL WITHIN 18"
(45.7 cm) OF THE SIDES, FRONT OR REAR OF THE APPLIANCE OR WITHIN 40"
(101.6 cm) ABOVE THE APPLIANCE. THE APPLIANCE IS TO BE MOUNTED ABOVE
SURFACES OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION WITH NON-COMBUSTIBLE
SURFACES AND SURFACE FINISH, WITH NO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL AGAINST THE
UNDERSIDE.
Adjustable Angle Bracket Mounting
Mounting a strip heater with angle brackets
permanently attaches the unit to the
underside of a non-combustible surface.
Units can be mounted to the underside
of a at shelf or one with a rolled/anged
edges. Adjustable angle brackets provide
the necessary gap between the unit and a
combustible surface.
Single, portable units can be mounted to a combustible surface as long as a 3"
Note:
clearance is maintained between the top of the unit and the combustible surface.
IMPORTANT
Before installation refer to the recommended clearance requirements for your specic
unit.
Flanged Shelf Mounting
In situations where the mounting surface has a anged edge, it is important that the minimum
clearance is calculated from the top of the unit to that anged edge, and not the mounting
surface. This prevents an excess of excessive heat build-up.
Installing Angle Brackets:
1. Place unit on a surface with element side down.
2. Remove the 4 screws on each side.
3. Place the adjustable angle bracket in position and re-install the screws, repeat on opposite end.
Note: make certain you maintain the required minimum clearance.
4. Place the unit into position and adhere using appropriate hardware (not included).
