Genie 8Chapter 4 Installation
Appliance Location
1. Placement of Genie appliance is the KEY TO OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE. It is important to
identify a location where the output of Genie can use, rather than ght, the natural air currents in
a room.
2. Air currents in a room are determined by using a SMOKE TEST KIT available from Prolitec or any
source of smoke or vapor, such as a candle or match.
3. To conduct a smoke test, stand at the entrance of the room in front of the door and observe the
direction of the smoke or vapor. If the smoke drifts into the room Genie appliance should be
installed somewhere near the door.
See Figure 1. If the smoke drifts out of the room, the Genie appliance should be placed on the wall
furthest from the door. See Figure 2. If there is no clear direction that the smoke travels or it travels
upward into the air-conditioning return grill, nd a position near the air-conditioning supply grill. See
Figure 3.
NOTE: The location of Genie MUST NOT be near an HVAC return grill, exhaust fan or vent, or an
open door or window through which air is leaving the space. Remember, you want to work with the
natural air ow, not against it.

Wall-Mounting Genie
Step 1 – The Electrical Source
Before the Genie appliance can be mounted, a qualied electrician must install an electrical outlet
at the position you have decided to place Genie. The appliance is then mounted over the outlet and
plugged in.
In some locations local codes or rules require that the main power source be located beside the
appliance. This will require an Genie hardwiring kit. If the appliance is PERMANENTLY CONNECTED
in this way, a readily accessible disconnect device must be used. Consult with your electrician.
If it makes sense to plug the appliance into an outlet that is near, but not behind the appliance, a
rectangular, plastic wire-concealment conduit should be used (PN 10619).
