IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
BRZ Brands Far Infrared Heaters are very versatile. They feature an elegant design, simple installation, and easy operation.
WARNING: Covering the glass surface causes overheating danger! May cause damage to the heating element. WARNING: The glass heater must not be used if the front glass is broken.
This guide provides important information on safety, installation, use and maintenance of the equipment. Please read this information carefully.
Do not use the heater outdoors.
The manufacturer is not liable if the instructions are not followed.
To disconnect heater, turn off power to heater circuit at main breaker panel. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the heater. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner.
ATTENTION: Operation of the heater causes high temperature on the glass surfaces. Prolonged contact may cause burns.
Do not use unit in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable vapors or liquids are used or stored.
This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, curtains, et cetera, at least 20” (0,5m) from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear (sides and rear restrictions apply to location dedicated heaters only).
Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fi re, electric shock, or injury. OVERHEATING AND OVERLOAD PROTECTION The heater contains overheat protection technology.
Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children and whenever the heater is left operating while unattended.

INSTALLATION AND USAGE INSTRUCTION4 FOR ELECTRICIAN
WALL MOUNTING: The mounting brackets on the back of the unit have four + shaped holes designed to allow screws to enter and slide up or down. The spacing allows the installer flexibility when choosing a mounting location. Please note the required minimum clearance distances from flammable materials (SEE Fig 2) when choosing your mounting location. Ideally, if the studs in the room are 16” on center, this bracket will allow the unit to be attached to at least one stud and optimally 2 studs. This bracket design also allows for the unit to be mounted horizontally or vertically.
IMPORTANT NOTES: • Installation and service work must be carried out by a licensed professional or a qualified person. Verify that the electrical installation complies with the applicable local codes. The responsibility of the manufacturer is limited to the supply of the device. • The devices are designed for wall mounting (vertical or horizontal) or ceiling with the appropriate accessories (see included part list). • Wall mounting of the glass radiators corresponds IP24 Protection. • When installing the unit in a bathroom, follow local building and electric code regulations. • Specified minimum distances must be respected.
1. At this time, gather any needed items including a pencil, screw driver, screws, washers, hammer, tape measure, stud finder, wall anchors, and an assistant. Verify correct number of supplied parts are present. 2. Choose a location desired for mounting. Choose an area in compliance with local building and electrical codes.
INSTALLATION AND MINIMUM DISTANCES:
3. Use a stud finder to locate the studs present in the area. If this is not possible, choose a location where 4 screws on each bracket will land in studs. If this is not possible, we suggest at least 2 of the screws on each bracket land in a stud.
5IFIFBUFS can be mounted horizontally or vertically on the wall. *Umust CFpositioned so that flammable items can not be ignited. Ensure the required minimum distances, particularly to flammable objects like curtains, and upholstered furniture are correct. Please make surethat the glass IFBUFS can radiate freely into open space. (See Fig. 2)
4. Use Heavy-duty anchors rated to 50 lbs. (included) for this application. If mounting into concrete or other materials, use appropriate anchors suitable for that application. We recommend using four screws in each mounting bracket. PLEASE VERIFY ACCESS OF ELECTRICAL BOX IS NOT BLOCKED BY INSTALLED MOUNTING BRACKET.
ATTENTION: Don’t lean items against the glass or lean the heater against other objects. ASSEMBLY: Please verify that no shipping or handling damage occurred before inserting the power cable.
5. Use a level and a pencil to mark the location of the first bracket on the wall. Using the bracket, mark the hole locations. Drill and install the appropriate screws and/or anchors.

The heater is designed for permanent connection to a suitable room thermostat. Please refer to the instructions of the room thermostat.
HEATING The heater is controlled by the externally mounted thermostat.
ATTENTION: If the power cord of the unit is damaged, it must be replaced immediately.
GROUNDING The heater is for use with 120 volts. The green-yellow grounding of the cord must be connected to a permanent ground inside the junction box.
Fix mounted thermostats should be mounted next to the heated room’s entry door at 4’ or 1.3m height from floors. An alternate location is on an interior wall, not subject to direct sunlight.
