How to Install an Ember Radiant Heating Panel

Hello, I'm Scott from WarmlyYours, and today we're going to cover the installation of the Ember Radiant Panel on your wall. To complete this task, you'll need some simple tools, the installation template, and the Ember Radiant Panel itself. We'll start by taking the template, using the self-adhesive stickers on the back to position it on the wall where we want the Ember to be. After marking the location of the holes, we'll install the screws and wall anchors, and then hang the unit on the wall.

Now that we have a clear idea of where we want the product to be in the room, we can proceed with placing the template on the wall. The advantage of this template is that it is the same size as the unit, allowing you to visualize how the Ember will appear once installed. It's important to pay attention to the location of the power connection box, which is situated in the lower left-hand corner. This is where the power cord will exit, so we need to consider its placement carefully.

As we set up the template on the wall, the green bar at the top indicates that we will be aiming for the green holes on the template to mark our spots for the screws and wall anchors. If we decide to mount the unit horizontally, we must first determine the desired location of the power box—whether we want it in the upper left-hand corner or the lower right-hand corner. If we choose to have the yellow section at the top, we will need to mark the mounting holes according to the yellow spots on the template.

To ensure that the unit is level when mounted, a helpful trick is to pin one end of the template in the left-hand corner. We can then use a level to adjust the right end as needed. By carefully centering the template, I will hold it in place to keep it level. Once the level is positioned correctly, I will use a piece of tape to secure it temporarily and make faint pencil marks on the wall to indicate where the template rests. After marking these locations, I can remove the tape and pull the template back to expose the double-sided tape on the back of the unit.

Next, we will remove the covers from the double-sided tape and attach the unit to the wall. As I do this, I will ensure a tight fit along the wall. Ideally, it is best to secure one or two screws into a wall stud for added stability. However, if centering the unit over a stud is not possible, the kit includes four wall anchors that can be used instead. Once we have determined that we will be using the green holes for mounting, I like to take one of the screws from the kit and position it directly on the crosshairs of the green dot.

Using a small hammer, I will make a mark through the paper into the wall to indicate where my drill tip will go. After marking the exact locations for the drill holes, I can remove the template. With the four spots marked on the wall, I will insert the wall anchors and screws. It is crucial to ensure that the screws protrude from the wall by 15 millimeters, or 19/32 of an inch. The hardware kit that comes with the Ember includes four felt pads with self-stick adhesive on the back. These pads should be peeled off and placed on the unit at the crosshatch on the mounting base to prevent scratching the wall during installation.

When preparing to mount the Ember, I recommend positioning my hand near the outer frame where the cut will be, which helps gauge how high I need to lift the unit to align it with the screws. Once the four screws are set to the appropriate height, it's advisable to have a helper assist in getting the Ember onto the screws and into the slots on the back of the unit. After successfully mounting the panel on the wall, you will find a 9-foot power cord that simply needs to be plugged into a nearby outlet to get the system up and running.
