Heating Element & Air Channel Installation - 5100 Series

WARNING

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE: Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death.

Insert Heating Elements

After all brick are loaded, insert the heating elements between the brick layers, sliding them in until the element ends embed into the side cutouts of the brick cavity. Elements MUST be installed with the threaded screw tabs on the wire connection terminals pointing forward and down to ease the installation of the element-to-wiring harness.

Refer to the Element Installation drawing:

Install Front Air Channel

Install the front air channel by placing the bottom in first, with the air deflectors (arrow shaped pieces) facing inward. Refer to Air Channel Placement and the Exploded View Diagram for proper placement and installation of the front air channel.

Air Channel Placement:

Lower Insulation into Place

Lower the insulation blankets back into position, one at a time. Carefully tuck the sides of this insulation into the edges, corners, and around the exposed portions of the heating element to ensure maximum efficiency.

Reinstall Galvanized Front Panel

Reinstall the galvanized front panel by sliding the bottom of the panel inside the lower lip of the brick cavity and resting the top of the panel on the outside of the brick cavity. Secure it to the system using the screws that were originally removed.

Connect Element Harnesses

Carefully route the element wiring harnesses and connect them to the heating elements, using the screws provided in the hardware package. Connections should be made with the screw heads up and the threads pointing down. Element screws should be tightened to 14 inch-lbs.
