PREPARATION
UNPACKING
Remove heater from the carton and check for any damage sustained in
transit. Notify your Clarke dealer immediately of any defects.
MOUNTING THE HEATER
The heater is resistant to splashing but should be sheltered from direct rainfall,
as should the power cable, plug and supply outlet socket. If used outdoors, an
awning, overhanging roof or other shelter should be used to protect from rain
The heater must be mounted on a suitable wall at a height not less than 1.8m
above the floor.
It is important that the heater is positioned with at least 1 m clearance at the
front between the heater and any obstruction including walls or other
combustible surfaces. Always position the heater facing the centre of the
space to be heated, not pointing directly at any nearby surfaces. Never place
any objects on, or against the heater.
Any equipment or furniture should be a safe distance away, as they could be
adversely affected by heat. Take care that the heat is not directed at curtains
or other fabrics.
1. Drill four holes in the wall to
accept the plastic wall-plugs
supplied, at the distances apart
shown in the diagram. Other wall
plugs may be required,
dependant upon the construction
of the wall.
2. Screw the mounting bracket to
the wall.
3. Fit the heater onto the wall
bracket and secure in position
with the screw knob.
4. Set the downwards angle of the
heater by loosening the mounting
bracket with a large x-head
screwdriver and adjusting the
angle before re-tightening
