Overview
Please read this guide carefully and retain for future
use and maintenance.
This appliance has been designed and manufactured
to the highest international standards, however, care
must be taken for optimal results and safety. This
appliance also meets the requirements of EU Directive
2004/106/EC for EMC and 2009/125/EC Directive.
Safety & Care
Our Low Surface Temperature heaters have been
designed and built to the NHS requirement for safe
surface temperatures which is that no surface which
can be touched by the user will be more than 43
degrees C (at a room temperature of 21 degrees C.)
This means that our Low Surface Temperature heaters
out-perform the European Standard by a significant
margin.
The appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
Warning
 Do NOT site the appliance into a corner.
 Do NOT handle the appliance with wet hands.
 Do NOT use the appliance in workshops or rooms
where excessive dust is generated or present.
 Ensure that nothing is pushed into the air outlet of
this appliance.
 Do NOT touch outlet grille when the appliance is in
use.
 Do NOT cover or restrict the appliance when in
use.
 Do NOT use the appliance if damaged.
 Do NOT leave the appliance unattended where
young children are present.
Connection to the Main Supply
Electrical installation should be carried out by a competent
installer, preferably registered with NICEIC (National
Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting) in
accordance with the 17 edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations,
(BS.7671), and any relevant Local Authority Bye-Laws. This
heater is fitted with a 3-core mains supply cable and should
be permanently connected to the electricity supply via a
double pole switch having 3mm gap on each pole.
A switched Fused Connection unit to BS.1363. Part 4 is a
recommended mains supply connection accessory to
ensure compliance with safety requirements applicable to
fixed-wiring installation.
Note: When switched on for the first time the appliance may
emit a slight smell. This is purely the evaporation of a fluid
used in the manufacturing process.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
Thermally Operated Cut-Out
The appliance is fitted with a thermally operated cut-out
(TOC). This is a safety device, which switches the heater off
if, for any reason, the appliance overheats. The TOC can
only be re-set after the appliance has cooled down. In
order to re-set the TOC, proceed as follows:
 Switch off appliance and leave for approximately
10 minutes.
 Switch appliance back on and the TOC 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.
The heater carries a ‘Do Not Cover’ label to warn the user
that if the appliance is covered, there is a risk of
overheating.
Cleaning
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.
 Do NOT use metal or furniture polish on any part of the
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.

Intelligent Fan Control
The intelligent fan control incorporates one of the
latest low energy consumption EC motors. This allows
the heater to operate quietly, whilst still providing the
best possible levels of comfort.
The intelligent fan control is only activated when the
heat is switched on. If the heater is running in fan/
boost mode only (heat switched off), then the fan
will operate at a fixed speed.
When activated, the intelligent fan control detects
the temperature of the room. Depending on which
heat mode is activated, it will calculate the best
possible airflow temperature and will adjust the fan
speed accordingly.
NOTE: When turning the heater on, or changing heat
mode or fan speed mode, the fan will respond
accordingly after a small time delay.
Mounting
This unit is for wall mounting only. It is designed to be very
quiet in operation if mounted correctly. It must be fitted using
the wall bracket supplied which has been specially designed
to minimise noise levels. Care must be taken when handling
the bracket not to bend or distort it.
When fitting more than one heater into a room we would
recommend that they are sited on the same wall to optimise
airflow and ensure quiet operation.
MOUNTING ON APLASTERBOARD WALL
•Ensure at least one of the wall brackets is secured
to the timber frame of the studded wall by using
standard wood screws.
•Where the bracket is fitted onto plasterboard only,
ensure plasterboard fixings are used. Standard wall
plugs will not be suitable.
•Where possible mount the heater(s) on an outside
wall to inhibit transfer of sound within the building.
NB: Failure to follow the instructions and recommendations
provided could result in increased noise levels.
Operation
This heater can only be used when connected
to a CRX2 wireless programmable controller.
Each CRX2 can control any number of heaters.
