verify the power supply voltage is the same as the
nameplate voltage of the heater. Improper installation
or failure to follow the procedures as outlined in this
manual can result in damage to the heater. Note that
the KBP2406 will operate at 208 volt but will produce
25% less wattage and draw 13% less Amps. Discon-
nect all power from the heater at the main service
panel before attempting to install or service this unit.
All electrical wiring must conform to local electrical
codes. Heater circuit must be properly protected.

-Proper wire connectors for your application
-Appropriate size fasteners to mount heater.
In certain applications conduit may be required by code.
Check local electrical codes. If you want to be able to turn the
heater be sure to use flexible conduit.
Mounting Height
When the air flow of the heater is directed vertically or
horizontally the minimum mounting height is 6 feet in USA
and 8 feet in Canada. Mounting heights depend upon building
utilization and heater kW capacity.
Distance From Walls
Maintain 6" minimum clearance to side walls and 2" to ceiling
in back of the heater (air intake side). Maintain 18" clearance in
front of the heater (discharge side).
Mounting Heater
Locate a stud in ceiling or wall and securely fasten bracket with a
minimum of two #12 fasteners 1-1/4" long. Attach heater to bracket
with 3/8" x 1" wingnut & lock washer supplied. Install the lock washer
between the bracket and heater. Do not put lock washer on the plastic
wingnut. After desired air discharge position has been determined
tighten wingnut so heater will not pivot.
Location of Heater
The heater should be installed out-of-reach of persons. The direction
of airflow should not be restricted by machinery, beams, etc. and
the airflow should wipe exposed walls, rather than blowing directly
at them. When more than one heater is used in an area the heaters
should be arranged so that the air discharge of each heater supports
the airflow of the others to provide best circulation of warm air. (see
airflow chart)
