Always ensure a safe mounting height, at or
above a minimum height of 1.8 metres from
ground level, so that the heater can not be
touched when in operation.
The heater must be wall mounted level ± 5º
to the horizontal.
This appliance can be used by children

General
The IRXE range of infra-red wall heaters are a safe, practical
source of heat in bathrooms, kitchens, work areas - anywhere
where fast localised heating is required. The IRXE uses quartz
elements which emit a warm glow of medium wave infra-red.
The IP24 rating means the appliance is suitably rated to be
permanently installed either internally or externally.
The installation of this appliance should be carried out by a
competent electrician and be in accordance with the current
IEE wiring regulations and any local or insurance regulations.
The IRXE is designed for use on a 230-240V AC single phase
supply. A double pole isolating switch with a minimum separation
of 3mm in each pole must be fitted to facilitate isolation. This
switch must either be positioned inside a building or have an IP
rating against water ingress suitable for external installation. The
appliance must be supplied through a residual current device
(RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding
30mA. The appliance must be connected to a socket-outlet
having an earthing contact (for Class I appliances).
Prior to installation remove the polystyrene inserts which secure
the elements during transportation.
a. Remove the two front grill screws.
b. Remove the front grill in the direction of the arrow.
c. Remove element protection polystyrene.
Replace front grill and reverse procedure.
The heater must be permanently fixed to the wall using the
wall mounting bracket and screws supplied. The heater must
be mounted Horizontally as shown observing the minimum
clearances stated in Fig. 2.
The minimum mounting height for the heater is 1.8 meters which
requires that the the mounting holes for the wall bracket be
drilled at a height of 1.9 meters.
The desired heating level can be set by pulling the pull cord
switch once or repeatedly. The set heating level can be read in the
display window. In position “0” the heating device is switched o.
1. Remove the two screws which hold the front grill onto the
heater.
2. Remove the front grill in the direction of the arrow.
3. Remove the two element securing clips to release the element.
4. Disconnect the element wires from each side of the element.
5. Reverse procedure with new element.
WARNING: BEFORE UNDERTAKING THIS TASK, ENSURE
THE HEATER IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY AND LEFT TO COOL FOR A MINIMUM OF 30
MINUTES
Since the appliance contains no moving parts little maintenance
is required beyond cleaning and element replacement. It is
however essential that the heater is not operated with an
accumulation of dust or dirt on the element, as this can cause a
build up of heat and eventual damage. For this reason the heater
must be inspected regularly, depending upon conditions and at
least at yearly intervals. Allow adequate time for the element and
body casing to cool before attempting to work on the heater - a
minimum time of 30 minutes is recommended.
If the bulb is accidentally touched by bare fingers remove the
fingerprint with a soft cloth moistened with methylated spirits.
WARNING: BEFORE UNDERTAKING CLEANING OR
MAINTENANCE WORK ON THE APPLIANCE, DISCONNECT

a. Remove the screw (a) to release the plastic control molding.
This will allow the unit to tilt forward and allow access to the
securing holes on the back of the unit - see Fig. 3.
b. Place heater horizontally against the wall, mark and drill holes
to suit and insert the two wall fixings supplied - see Fig. 3
c. Place the two plastic inserts into the holes provided on the
control housing and tighten screws to secure heater - see Fig. 3
Replace control molding and fix heater to required angle.
The bracket allows the heater to be inclined at the required
angle. The siting of the heater(s) should be such as to allow an
even and uninterrupted distribution of radiation to the area(s)
to be heated. Heaters are most eective when the beam angle is
inclined down at an angle of between 30º to 45º to the vertical.
When deciding upon the best location, consideration must be
given to the following requirements:
a. Comfort and safety could be compromised unless the heater
is mounted at or above 1.8m from ground level.
b. The minimum clearance distances must be maintained as
shown in Fig. 2.
