Operation
Switching On the Heater
The controls are located on the right hand side on top of the appliance.
The button marked ‘ ’ controls the electricity supply to the electronic
thermostat. An indicator beside the ‘ ’ button shows when the unit
is powered ‘ON’.
Electrical
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
The electrical installation must be carried out by a competent
electrician, and be in strict accordance with the current I.E.E.
regulations for Electrical Equipment in Buildings.
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
GREEN AND YELLOW : EARTH
BLUE : NEUTRAL
BROWN : LIVE
BLACK : PILOT WIRE
- see also ‘Pilot Wire Connection’.
The heater is tted with a length of exible cable type H05VV-F size 4
x 1.0mm2 for connection to the xed wiring of the premises through a
suitable connection box positioned adjacent to the heater.
The supply circuit to the heater must incorporate a double pole isolating
switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm.
Pilot Wire Connection
The BLACK control wire is designed to carry a signal from slot in or
wall mounted Creda programmers. If, however a programmer is not
being used, the pilot wire should be isolated in accordance with the
current IEE Wiring Regulations.
IMPORTANT - DO NOT connect the BLACK pilot wire to earth. Care
should be taken with the installation of the pilot wire(s) as when
switching to background (set back) they become energised at 240V
although only at a current of less than 100mA. In every case a suitable
means of isolation must be provided for the pilot wire and marked
to indicate that two sources of supply may be present at the heater.
Where pilot wires are installed separately from the heater nal sub-
circuit they should be protected, double insulated and carry their own
integral earth continuity conductor.
Supplementary Earth Bonding
Should Equipotential Earth Bonding be required the earthing conductor
in the supply cord is deemed to provide the supplementary bonding
connection (see Regulation 544.2.5, 17th Edition I.E.E. Wiring
Regulations).
General
The heater is designed for wall mounting on the wall bracket supplied.
It should only be operated when in the upright position as shown -
see Fig. 1.
All models are splashproof to IPX4 standard and may be used in
bathrooms, however not in the immediate vicinity of baths, showers,
water connections, wash basins or swimming pools.
Before connecting the heater check that the supply voltage is the same
as that stated on the heater.
NOTE - Lit cigarettes, candles and oil burners, combined with the
convection effect of electric heaters can cause soot deposits to build
up on the surface directly above and to the sides of the heater. This
is not a fault of the heater. Extensive burning of candles or smoking
in the operating environment of this product can produce heavy
discolouration within a few months of use.
Wall Mounting
IMPORTANT – The wall bracket supplied with the appliance must
be used. The heater should be positioned observing the minimum
clearances stated around the heater - see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.
DO NOT locate the heater immediately below a xed socket outlet
or connection box.

Fig. 3
Turn on the heater using the ‘ ’ button and rotate the thermostat knob
to the desired position. When the room temperature has reached the
desired level, the power to the elements will be reduced, the heater
will then maintain the room temperature at the chosen level.
NOTE - Should your heater fail to come on when the thermostat knob
is at a low setting, this may be due to the room temperature being
higher than the thermostat setting.
Background Temperature
When used in conjunction with a remote programming device
supporting a background/setback setting, the heater will automatically
operate at a room temperature setting of 50C less than the thermostat
setting when the programme is in background/setback mode.
Limiting the thermostat setting
Before wall mounting the product the installer may wish to limit the
heat selection knob movement for the operator. This may be achieved
by unclipping the knob and removing the two plastic pins (see Fig. 4)
using pliers and inserting them in the preferred holes to limit the knob
movement. Replace the plastic cap.
Setting Desired Temperature (see Fig. 3)
The heater is tted with an adjustable thermostat enabling the room
temperature to be controlled by rotating the knob accordingly. The min
setting ‘ ’ represents a room temperature of approximately 50C and
may be used for protection against frost. The ‘MAX’ setting represents
a room temperature of approximately 300C. The ‘ ’ symbol glows when
the elements are actually heating.

Safety - Overheat protection
For your safety this appliance is tted with a thermal cut-out. In
the event that the product overheats for some reason, the cut-out
prevents excessive temperatures on the product by cutting the power
to the heater. Once the heater has cooled down, it will reset
automatically, it will continue to cycle on and off automatically until
the reason for overheating is removed.
Cleaning
WARNING – ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE CLEANING THE HEATER.
Before commencing cleaning, unplug the heater and allow it to cool.

Energy Saving Tips
The energy we use to heat, light and power our homes contributes
over a quarter of the UK’s carbon emissions, the principle contributor
to climate change.
Around half the energy used in the home is for heating and hot water, so
using your heating system efciently will not only help the environment,
but also save you money!
Energy efciency tips for heating and hot water
1. Don’t set the temperature too high…
By reducing the thermostat setting by just 1ºC can reduce your energy
use by as much as 10%. And if you’re going away for the winter, leave
the thermostat on the frost protection setting to provide protection from
freezing at a minimum cost.
2. Use it where you need it…
Set the appropriate temperature on your heaters for the room they are
in; for example, leave the thermostat on a heater in a spare bedroom
on a lower setting.
3. Use it when you need it…
Use heaters tted with timers or linked to central controllers to turn
the heating on only when you need it and automatically switch it off
when you don’t.
4. Curtains…
Close your curtains at dusk to stop heat escaping through the windows.
5. Windows…
Nearly 25% of heat loss can occur through poorly insulated frames
and single glazing. If you can’t afford to double glaze all your windows,
go for the rooms you heat most.
6. Treat your hot water tank... give it a jacket
An insulating jacket for hot water tanks only costs a few pounds and
pays for itself within months. Fit one that’s at least 75mm (3”) thick
and you could save £10-£15 a year.
7. Water…
Use a shower if you have one to save time, money and water.
Don’t set the thermostat too high on your water heater - 60oC/140oF
is usually adequate for bathing and washing.
Put the plug in when running hot water in your sink - leaving hot taps
running is both wasteful and expensive.
Ensure dripping taps are repaired quickly. In just one day, you could
waste enough water to ll a bath.
Other Energy Saving Tips for Around the Home
1. Lights
Turn off lights whenever you leave a room for more than ten minutes.
Use low-energy bulbs wherever you can as they use less than a quarter
of the electricity used by ordinary light bulbs and last ten times longer!
2. Cooking
Use the right size pan for the food and cooker hob.
Keep saucepan lids on - this enables you to turn down the heat.
Boil water for cooking in a kettle.
