Installing an electric radiator generally involves mounting it securely to the wall and then connecting it to a power source. Here's a simplified breakdown based on the provided reference:
-
Mark and Drill Mounting Points: Use the provided template to position the radiator on the wall where you want it installed. Mark the locations for the mounting brackets and drill pilot holes.
-
Insert Wall Plugs and Attach Brackets: Insert wall plugs (also called anchors) into the drilled holes. These provide a secure base for the screws that will hold the brackets. Then, attach the mounting brackets to the wall using screws. Make sure the brackets are level.
-
Mount the Radiator: Carefully hook the radiator onto the installed mounting brackets.
-
Secure the Radiator: Once the radiator is in place, tighten the safety screws (usually located on top) to prevent it from accidentally being dislodged.
Important Considerations:
- Power Connection: This simplified installation focuses on the physical mounting. You'll still need to connect the radiator to a power source, which can involve plugging it into an outlet or, for hardwired models, connecting it directly to the electrical circuit. Consult a qualified electrician for any electrical work. Incorrect wiring can be dangerous.
- Types of Electric Radiators: There are different types of electric radiators (e.g., plug-in, hardwired). This simplified process is geared towards a standard wall-mounted radiator.
Disclaimer: These instructions are a general guide. Always refer to the specific manufacturer's instructions that come with your electric radiator for detailed steps and safety information.
