Brick Loading - 2100 Series

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.

IMPORTANT

The heater MUST be securely mounted to the wall or to its security base prior to brick loading.
To properly seal the brick core, make sure all bricks are installed correctly.
Install bricks carefully to avoid damage to the bottom and back insulation panels of the storage cavity.
Maintain an even horizontal line across the brick core during brick installation so air flow through the heater is not obstructed.

Check Brick Quantity

Verify you have the correct number of bricks for your application. Ceramic bricks are shipped separately and come two bricks per package.

Check Power

Verify that the heater is not energized.

Attach Heater to Wall

Place the heater against the wall support bracket (240V heaters only). Use the carriage bolts to secure the heater to the wall.

Protect Floor

Place shipping box in front of the heater for ease in cleanup of brick debris.

Remove Cover

Remove the screws on the right side of the galvanized front panel. Rotate the panel to the left to remove. Carefully set the panel aside to avoid damage to the front insulation panel which is secured to the back side.

Remove Shipping Material

If installing a Model 2104, 2105, or 2106, remove and discard the cardboard spacer(s) from the brick core.

Load Bottom Row

Install the first brick face up and slide to the far right side of the heater’s storage cavity. Verify the grooved side of the brick is up and fits tight against the right air channel and the back insulation panel. Continue loading the bricks for Row 1. The insulation on the left side may need to be compressed to install the last brick on each row.

Continue Loading

Continue the brick loading process one row at a time. All bricks in rows one through seven must be loaded with the grooved side up. (See Brick Loading diagram below.)

Install Top Row

Install the eighth (top) row of bricks with the grooved side of the bricks facing down. A 3" x 11" metal brick installation tool is enclosed in the information package to assist with loading the top row of brick. Lay the metal tool over the far right brick in row 7. Slide a brick over the metal piece and into position. Pull the metal piece out. Continue this procedure until the entire top row of brick is installed.

Check Flatness

Once all bricks are installed, make sure they are pushed back in a manner which allows the blanket insulation to stick out past the face of the bricks. This helps to ensure that the brick core is sealed properly.

Install Cover

Reinstall the galvanized front panel.
