Prepare the Heater and Bracket: Lay the heater flat with the back side facing up. Align the mounting bracket toward the bottom of the heater. Use the included hardware to attach the bracket to the heater as shown.
Choose the Perfect Spot: Next, find the ideal location for the heater inside your igloo-style doghouse. We recommend holding the heater/bracket assembly on the interior wall, closer to the floor. Slide the unit upwards until the heater is fairly vertical, making sure it's positioned at least 12” above the floor.
Mark and Drill Holes: Once you're satisfied with the placement, mark the four corner holes. Use an 8/32” bolt and a 1/8” drill bit to drill the appropriate holes. Additionally, drill a 1 ¼” hole for the power cord to pass through the wall of the igloo.
Secure the Heater: After drilling the holes, secure the heater in place using nuts and bolts (screws are not recommended for this installation). Ensure that the heater is firmly mounted for maximum safety and efficiency.
