be grounded in accordance with article 250 of

the National Electrical Code.

2. Do not install baseboard heater below electrical

convenience receptacles (outlets).

3. Do not install heaters against combustible low

density cellulose fiberboard surfaces.

openings. Keep electrical cords, drapes and

other furnishings or objects clear of these

openings.

5. To reduce risk of fire, do not store or use

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liguids

in the vicinity of the heater.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DRAPE

PLACEMENT

NEAR BASEBOARD HEATER

1. Allow minimum clearance of 1” from drapes to ceiling

and to top of floor covering to permit air circulation

(Example 1, Figure 1).

2. Hang full length drapes to provide a minimum of 2”

air space between heater front and nearest drape

fold as shown in Example 1, Figure 1.

3. Hang short drapes to provide minimum of 6”

clearance between bottom of drapes and top of

heater, preferably more (Example 2, Figure 1).

4. Do not under any condition allow drapery to come

in contact with heater. Some fabrics discolor in time

from exposure sunlight or warm air. Check to make

sure drapery material will not discolor, shrink, or

stretch upon extended (1000 hour) exposure to

temperatures of 200

Heaters may be mounted directly to any floor

surface, including carpeting. Wall to wall carpet

(maximum thickness 3/4”) may extend under or to

the front of the baseboard heater. This is provided

the flooring material does not obstruct air flow to

the heater.

5. Do not install vinyl curtains, drapes or blinds above

the heater as they may discolor or deform.
