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 in 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 17th 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 must be permanently
connected to the electricity supply via a double pole
switch having 3mm gap on each pole. There are no
exceptions.
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

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.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
Operation
This heater can only be used in conjunction with
a CRXSL wireless programmable controller. Each
CRXSL can control any number of heaters in the
same room.
CRXSL wireless controller
Please refer to the CRXSL installation and control
guide for full operational details.
