How far from the wall does this heater need to be when it is operating?

The manual specifies that combustibles such as pillows, clothing, and drapes be kept at least 3 feet away. No mention of presumably noncombustible walls. The back of the unit really doesn't heat up. I would guess that you could keep it about 1 ft in front of a wall to allow for sufficient air flow and not have any worries.

Are you asking about the length of the cord? It's about 6 feet long. Common sense about distance to other materials...not particularly hot at the back of the heater.

Not sure what manufacturer says.My daughter says she keeps it at least a foot away from the wall.

8 1/2" W x 11 3/4" H x 6 7/8" D Using the supplied wall mount will add another 3/4". The manual states that combustibles (cloth, paper, fabric, etc.) should be kept 3 feet from the front. Additional information to previous posts on "over-heating" and "safety tilt" shut-off. The manual does state that the heater has an over-temperature shut off. From experience, the front of this unit does not get too hot. Even when it's been running for 5 minutes continuous, I can touch the metal grill with it NOT being very hot. The actual heating element is "hidden" and the warm air is fan-forced out the front. I use my unit multiple times a day, every day. I do recommend this unit but do suggest that the instruction manual is read before using...don't just take my word for correctness of information posted.

I believe the most important spacing is the back where the fan is located. The unit will need to be at least 4 inches fro the wall to allow adequate air flow.

I would say about three feet. This is a terrific heater. It heats up my small bathroom in fifteen minutes.

It needs to vented out a side wall,max thickness of 12".the unit dosen't use inside room air for combustion,which is very good.

You asked question loooong time ago, hopefully you have answered yourself. Unit should not be in direct path of cool air, otherwise temp setting can be adjusted for location. Mine is only 5' away but on the other side of a wall that blocks direct airflow.

Instructions say at least 3 feet from combustibles,however the 250 unit does not get that hot; seems excessive.

You need to allow about SIX inches from wall . This will allow plenty of room to work with all connection needed.

Be sure that the cord doesn't rest between the wall and the heater as it may get too hot (if using that plug for heater). The only other possible concern may be heat on the wiring within the wall or on the outlet itself, but I see no real hazard based on my experience with the heaters.

Since I operate my unit about at least 10 feet away from the wall outlet, I usually use an extension cord. And it works the same way as being plugged in the wall outlet, without any issues that I have noticed.

I have a log cabin and installed heater directly to the log wall. The back of the heater does not get hot. The front of the heater is about 5 inches out from the wall. The heater comes with a bracket that affixes directly to the wall.

I installed it at the furthest point from the water heater. Hot water will only go as far as where it is installed and that way all the outlets are somewhat covered with just one unit. My wife is always telling me " Go hit the button ".

Lee the line running near to the heater is 1/2" then reduced to 3/8". Hope that helps.

I installed the EX22CN in my 20X18 family room that was an addition to the main house. I have normal 8 foot ceiling and moderate insulation. The room also has 4- 4'X4' casement windows that are starting to show their age. I installed it in March of this year so I have not gone through below zero weather yet, only high 20's temperature. Having said that, I have not seen the wall heater run at full capacity yet (heat ouput modulates based on demand) and has kept the room very comfortable. hope this helps.

Just tested it, and it works pretty far away. I placed the heater in the back of the kitchen and went all the way to the end of the living room, and it works. I'd say that was about 35+ ft..

I keep mine set at about 30 degrees. I have a thermometer on the wall and when I am not in my shop I turn the thermostat down to 30. If I turn it down more the heater will not run at all.
