IMPORTANT
These instructions should be read and carefully retained by the user.
The installation of this appliance should be carried out by a competent electrician and be in
accordance with the current IEE wiring regulations. Tools required are an electrical screwdriver with a
3mm wide blade, a No 2 posidriver, a 7mm AF open ended or box spanner, an 8mm open ended
spanner.
Special instructions on Fitting the heater to a wall or ceiling:-
Solid brick or concrete walls must be drilled and plugged with Rawlplug No 10 size FIBRE inserts.
The plug must be located in the solid part of the wall, not just in the plaster layer.
For panelled internal walls or ceilings, it is best to locate the studding, position the heater fixing
bracket accordingly and use No 10 size wood screws. If it is not possible to locate the studding, use
type M5 Rawlplug INTERSETS, making the 1Omm holes with a drill rather than a bradawl or a
screwdriver.
DO NOT COVER OR OBSTRUCT the air inlet or outlet grille.

Thermal Safety Cut-outs
The power supply to the heating elements will be interrupted if one or a combination of the following
abnormal events occur.
1 . Air inlet or outlet grilles are obstructed,
2. Internal ventilation is impaired due to build up of dust and fluff.
3. Blower unit stalls.
Note : If the cut-out operates, the fan may continue to run and the thermal cut-out may cycle the
heating elements on and off greatly impairing the performance of the heater. The heater must be
turned off immediately.
Procedure for resetting the cut-out;
A. Disconnect the electricity supply to the appliance either by switching off at the Remote
Control switch panel or at the consumer unit.

( Note : This should only be undertaken by competent persons with experience of repairing
electrical appliances and in full knowledge of the possible hazards involved ).
C. After a short time delay to allow the appliance to cool down, all that is required to return the
heater to normal operation is to switch the electricity supply back on.
