General
This heater is designed to provide intermittent spot heating for small domestic
environments such as garages and workshops.
The heater works by gradually raising the air temperature in a garage or workshop
and should be positioned above head height approximately 1.8m - 2.3m - (see Fig. 2).
The PFH30E heater has an output of 3kW.
The angle the appliance is mounted at may be adjusted horizontally and vertically -
see Fig. 1 and Fig. 4.
Electrical
Wall Mounting
• Remove the screw (see ‘z’ in Fig. 3C) to remove the cover bracket.
• Use the wall mounting bracket (see ‘x’ in Fig. 3A) as a guide to mark the hole
positions on a suitable wall (a minimum height of 1.8 metres is required from the
floor level to the bottom hole of the bracket - see Fig. 2).
• Solid brick or concrete block walls must be drilled and plugged using the screws
and wall plugs provided. Fix the wall mounting bracket to the wall and slide the
heater down on to the bracket as shown in Fig. 3A.
• The heater is held in place to the wall mounting bracket with 2 screws - see Fig. 3B.
• Once electrical connections have been completed - see ‘Electrical Installation’, re-
attach the bracket cover (see ‘y’ in Fig. 3C) by sliding into place and secure with
the screw - see ‘z’ in Fig. 3C.
• Pivot and rotate the heater into the desired position and tighten the screw to secure
- see ‘w’ in Fig. 4.
The installation of this appliance should be carried out by a competent electrician
and be in accordance with the current IEE wiring regulations. The supply cable is not
supplied with the appliance.
Before undertaking electrical installation, ensure the electricity supply is disconnected
from any relevant fixed wiring.
With the bracket cover removed proceed to feed the supply cord through the cable
entry at the bottom of the mounting bracket (drill knock-out to suit). Connect the wires
to proper live and neutral of the internal termonal block.
NOTE:
Ensure there is enough clearance above the wall mounting bracket for
the user to slide the heater onto the bracket

the remote control cradle. The remote
control can also be fixed to the cradle using
the bottom fixing screw. The use of this
screw is optional, particularly if the remote
will be used as a portable device.
NOTE:
If the remote cradle is not initially required please store in a suitable
location in case of future use. The bottom fixing screw should also be

and loading graphic appearing on the screen.
The remote control provides the option of a number of standard control modes,
• Timer Mode: provides the greatest flexibility to the user. Four heating periods are
available throughout each day and these can be customised for every day of the
week. The desired set temperature can be set for each time slot independantly
• Manual Mode: Maintains the displayed temperature for an undetermined period.
The default ‘comfort’ temperature in manual mode is set to 21°C however this can
be adjusted to suit.
• Frost Protect: maintains a room temperature of 7°C. This mode should be used to
provide protection against frost.
• Comfort O: no room temperature control
There are also a number of advanced control options and features available
• Runback Mode: This is an additional feature available to manual mode, with this
mode active the manual mode will operate for a determined time period and then
revert to Comfort O mode.
• Setback Mode: This is an additional feature available to timer mode, with this mode
active the appliance will control the room to a pre-set temperature during timer
‘o’ periods.
• Adaptive start Mode: This is a predictive mode that functions alongside the timer
mode. When activated it will automatic calculate when the appliance needs to switch
on so that the desired room temperature has been achieved from the start of a heat
on time period. If not active the appliance will only switch on at the programmed
on time.
• PIN Lock Mode: This mode will lock the appliance in the existing mode and will only
allow some basic functions to operate. Once activated, in order to change settings
the user must input a pre-set PIN. This is ideal where it is desired to limit the use
and functionality of the appliance.
