Thank you for purchasing the Runtal Electric Baseboard. We are very proud of our workmanship and
quality, and we are certain that you will be thoroughly satisfied with your new Runtal Electric Baseboard.
We urge you to contact your local Runtal representative if you have comments or questions. This manual is
intended to show installation and care for your Runtal Electric Baseboard. The electrical wiring connections
must be made by a qualified professional electrician. Wiring procedures and connections should be in
accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC) and local codes.
The Runtal Electric Baseboard must be installed against the floor in a horizontal orientation as shown
below. The electrical wiring can connect at either end.
Note: Multiple Runtal Electric Baseboards cannot be wired in series, or significant loss of heating will result.
Owner’s Manual & Installation Instructions
1. Runtal Electric Baseboard must be properly installed before it is used.
2. Runtal Electric Baseboard must be connected to a switching device, thermostat relay switch, etc.
3. The heating element and high-limit thermostat should not be tampered with.
The Runtal Electric Baseboard junction boxes which extend down from the bottom of the radiator must be
in contact with the floor. The metal mounting clips described in Step 5 keep the radiator from tipping away
from the wall, and must be screwed to the wall near each end of the radiator and in the center on longer
lengths. The wiring can connect to either end of the baseboard, and wiring connections are made in the
junction boxes provided. (See Illustration 1).
