will re-set.
 Ensure that the appliance is functioning
correctly. If the TOC control operates again,
the appliance should be checked by a
competent electrician.

user that if the appliance is covered, there is a risk of
overheating.

Always disconnect the heater from the mains before
cleaning. The heater should not require any
maintenance, but it is strongly advised that it is kept
clean. An occasional wipe over with a soft cloth is all
that should be necessary.

heater.
 Do NOT touch the heater with wet hands or in any
way bring water into contact with it.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Installation Recommendations
It is recommended that careful thought be given to siting
the appliance within the room. Try to avoid being
directly in front of the heater for long periods. Consider
where you may stand, at a work surface or the like.

and below the base shelf of a kitchen-type cupboard i.e.
within the free plinth space. Figure 1 below shows the
MINIMUM size cupboard unit into which the appliance

Installation Procedure
1. Cut a hole in the plinth board, to the dimensions
given in Figure 2.
2. The power supply cable must be routed from the
connecting unit into the plinth space. The cable
shall be sufficiently long as to pass through the
plinth space and plinth board. This enables the
appliance to be subsequently withdrawn from the
plinth if maintenance is required. Ensure no sharp
edges are present along the power cable route.
3. The appliance can now be slid through the plinth
board, until the fascia panel abuts the outside of
the plinth board. Screw the fascia panel to the
plinth board with the screws provided.
4. Connect the unit to the mains power supply in
accordance with the appropriate section of these
instructions.
To remove the appliance from the plinth space, should
maintenance be required, disconnect mains power
supply, unscrew fascia panel and slide out the
appliance.
These dimensions are for a 500mm (PHSL2) and 600mm
(PHSL3) wide by 100mm (min) high plinth. If the
appliance is to be fitted into a plinth greater in length
than specified then the hole shown in Figure 2 must be
cut at least 22mm from one end.
