IMPORTANT
-
To properly seal the brick core, make sure all bricks are installed correctly.
-
Maintain an even horizontal line across the brick core during brick installation so air flow through the heater is not obstructed.
WARNING
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE: Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death. Heater may be connected to more than one branch circuit. Disconnect power to all circuits before servicing. DO NOT remove the painted front panel while energized. Equipment must be serviced by a qualified technician.
Securely Mount the Heater
The heater must be securely mounted to the wall or to its security base (if equipped) prior to brick loading.
Use Shipping Box to Catch Debris
To catch brick debris, to protect the flooring, and for easy clean-up upon completion of the installation, place the room unit's shipping box in front of the room heater before loading the brick.
Remove Galvanized Front Panel
Remove the screws on the right side of the galvanized front panel. Rotate this panel to the left and remove.
Discard Cardboard Spacers
If installing a Model 2004, 2005, or 2006, remove and discard the cardboard spacer(s) that secured the heating elements during shipment.
Begin Brick Loading
Begin the brick loading with row one by installing the first brick face-up in the far left side (as you face the heater) of the room heater's storage cavity. Be sure the grooved side of the brick is up, and that it fits tight against the right aluminized steel air channel.
NOTE: Install bricks carefully to avoid damage to the bottom insulation panel and to the back insulation panel inside the brick cavity.
Install Rows 1 through 7 of Brick
Continue the brick loading process installing the remaining brick in row one from right to left. Load remaining rows, one row at a time, beginning with left brick, then loading from the right to left. All bricks in rows one through seven must be loaded with the grooved side up.
NOTE: Avoid loading bricks in a fashion that would cause an uneven horizontal line across the brick core. Bricks should line up side-to-side.
Install 8th Row of Brick
Install the eighth (top) row of bricks with the grooved side of the bricks facing down as shown. A 3" x 11" metal brick installation tool is enclosed in the Owner's Manual packet to assist with loading the top row of brick. Be careful if using this tool as the edges are sharp. To use, be sure to bend one end down to avoid contact with the sharp edge. Lay the metal tool over the far right brick in row 7 with the bent end out. Slide a brick over the metal piece and into position. Pull the metal piece out. Continue this procedure until the entire top row of bricks are installed.
NOTE: The top bricks (row 8) must face downward.
Close Galvanized Front Panel
Once all bricks are loaded, replace the galvanized front panel.
