Installation
WARNING: 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.
Before undertaking installation work, ensure the electricity supply is disconnected
from any relevant xed wiring. Supply cable is not provided with this appliance, and
a competent electrician should therefore install it.
The appliance must be tted horizontally with the cable or conduitentry at bottom
right. It should be mounted such that the underside is at least 350mm above the oor
and the top of the heater is 150mm below any overhanging shelf or obstruction.
This heater must be used on an A.C.~ supply only and the voltage marked on the
heater must correspond to the supply voltage.
To comply with the I.E.E. Wiring Regulations, the appliance must be earthed; the supply
circuit must be adequate for the input of the appliance, and the circuit protected by
a suitable 13A fuse. A suitable termination to the xed wiring of the premises must
be provided adjacent to the nal position of the appliance. In this instance, such a
termination can be a double-pole switch with a contact separation of at least 3mm in
all poles.
The heater must not be located immediately below a xed socket-outlet
Procedure
Release the front cover from the unit by undoing the two screws under the bottom
edge. Carefully remove the cover by pulling bottom-front forward, and then lift to
release the top from the retaining slots. Remove packaging containing Bluetooth
remote control.
Mark screw xing positions on the wall in accordance with the dimensions shown on
the diagram in Fig 2. The unit must be secured to the wall with four screws through
the holes provided.
The two upper holes are keyhole shaped to enable the two upper screws to be
positioned rst. The unit can then be hung on these screws while the two lower
screws are positioned. Before nally tightening all four screws, ensure the unit is truly
horizontal. Fit a 3 core 1.5 square millimetre exible cord through the cable entry bush,
connect wires to the appropriate terminals and tighten cable clamp.
Alternatively the heater may be connectedwith conduit through the base after
removing the knockout containing the cable entry bush (see ‘A’ in Fig. 2).
