FITTING THE HEATER
The installation of this heater requires a reasonable level of DIY skills.
Please read this guide thoroughly before commencing installation and if in doubt,
seek help from a competent person
Do I need any tools?
You will need the following tools: -
! Pozidrive / Phillips / cross head screwdriver.
This should have a number 2 size
tip.
! Power drill
(Preferably with hammer action). This is only required if drilling into
brick work. An appropriate size drill bit will be required for the wall plugs supplied.
Where can I fit the heater?
This heater can be fitted onto a flat wall. Ideally fix the heater through to brick work,
block work or the internal wooden frame of a plaster board wall. If the wooden frame
behind the plasterboard is not accessible use a minimum of four heavy duty cavity
fixings.
We do not recommend that the heater be fitted to a wall covered in blown vinyl
wallpaper or polystyrene tiles etc.
It is important that the heater is never fitted under a shelf or soft furnishings such as
curtains.
If the heater is to be mounted on to a
plasterboard wall that has a wooden frame behind
it then the integrity and ability of the wall to carry the weight of the appliance must be
confirmed. It is important that any vapour control barrier is not damaged, and that the
structural members of the house are not damaged. We recommend a minimum 12mm
thick plasterboard.

Important Electrical Safety

always be accessible in order to disconnect the heater from the electrical supply for
maintenance and cleaning.

Important! This heater must be earthed.
!
The heater is supplied with a 3 pin 13 Amp fused re-wireable plug with 1mm² 3 core
cable.
! The wires in the cable are coloured in accordance with the following code: -
Live =Brown
Neutral = Blue
Earth = Green /Yellow
! The electric supply must be safely routed from the heater to an electrical socket.
If the electric cable is damaged, to avoid a hazard it must be replaced by a Baxi Fires
Division authorised service agent, or similarly qualified person (See page 9). All
external wiring between the heater and the electrical supply shall comply with current
IEE regulations.
Heater Fixing.
All of the fixings and loose parts supplied with the heater have been identified as in
figure 1.
Fitting the heater.
! Decide the location of the
heater. It is important that the
heater is never fitted under a
shelf or soft furnishings such as
curtains.
! If fitting to a conventional
brick wall then use the outer
slotted holes in the bracket. If
fitting to a plasterboard wall that
has a wooden frame behind it
then use all five fixing holes in
the bracket. This is required to
spread the load. Mark the
positions of the hanging bracket
holes on the wall (See figure 2).
There is a 150mm clearance required under the heater to open the light bulb access
covers.
! Drill the marked positions using a suitable sized drill bit for the chosen fixings.
! Insert the wall plugs / fixings and secure the bracket to the wall using suitable
screws.

Figure 1. Loose parts identification (Items are not to
scale)

! Locate the heater onto the
wall bracket.
! Mark the position of the
lower support bracket hole
on the wall.
! Remove the heater from
the wall bracket.
! Drill the marked position
using a suitable sized drill bit
for the chosen fixings.
! Locate the heater onto the
wall bracket and secure the
lower support bracket using a
suitable screw.
The lower support bracket
must always be used. This
prevents the heater
lifting from the hanging
bracket.
Fitting the fascia.
! Place the loose pebbles
onto the fuel support. It is
not necessary to use all
the pebbles supplied.
! Locate the top of the
fascia behind the top
flange of the heater.
! The fascia is secured using
the two screws with bright
metal finish. These are located
as in figure 3.
! On Visia and Glamour
models the glass panel that
forms part of the fascia is
supplied seperately. Locate the
glass panel hanging hooks into
the slots in the heater body
(See figure 4)

USING THE HEATER
Important Safety
Never cover the heater or obstruct any openings on the heater, this could cause
overheating and consequent risk of fire.
What are the three switches for?
The heater is operated by three switches located on the right hand side of the heater.
Switch 1 = OMain On - Off
In the On position only the fuel effect operates
Switch 2 = I1kW fan heat setting and fuel effect
Switch 3 = II 2kW fan heat setting and fuel effect
The switches are mechanically interlocked, so when switch 1 is turned off, all switches
turn off.
CLEANING AND MAINTAINING THE HEATER
How do I Clean my heater?
The heater fascia and glass parts need only to be wiped clean with a dry soft cloth, do
not use polishes or abrasive materials.
I have a problem with my heater!
Important Safety
Before undertaking maintenance or replacing the light bulb(s) always disconnect
the heater from the electricity supply by removing the 3 pin plug and allowing the
heater to cool.
1. My heater is on but there is no light / low light.
This is possibly a light bulb failure. Remove the light bulb as below and check it in a
table lamp that is known to work. If it does not work in the table lamp then replace it as
below.
The light bulbs fitted to this heater are 60Watt E27, 240Volt, triple life, Edison fitting
with a clear finish. Due to the indeterminate life span and ease of replacement, they are
specifically excluded from the guarantee.

To replace the light bulb.
!
At the base of the heater are two thumb screws (See figure 3) that secure the light
baffle. To gain access to the bulbs unscrew the thumb screws and remove the light
baffle.
! There are two thumb
screws (See figure 5) that
secure the light bulb access
covers. To gain access to the
bulbs unscrew the thumb
screw and lower the access
panel (See figure 6).
! Unscrew the faulty bulb in
a counter clockwise direction
and replace with a maximum
60Watt E27, 240Volt, triple life, Edison fitting
with a clear finish.
! Close the access cover and secure with the
thumbscrew removed previously.
2. My heater is on but there is no light or
heat.
The first thing to do is check the wall socket. To
do this plug in a known working appliance. If
the appliance you have plugged in works then
there is a good chance that the problem lies with
the 13Amp fuse in the heater plug. If either fuse or socket is suspected, have them
checked by an electrician.
3. My heater is on but there is no heat.
A cut out device is fitted to the heater to prevent damage due to over heating. If it
operates due to an obstruction in the airflow, the heater must be turned off and allowed
to cool for 15 minutes and the obstruction removed before restarting.
