Introduction
This radiator is supplied with an electric heating element and is for use with an electric supply only. The product

diagram below. However, the electrical connection box must be outside Zone 2. Its position must be such that
the controller cannot be reached by a person in the bath or shower. No part of the radiator may be installed in
Zone 1 or Zone 0.

•The radiator is supplied complete with its own mains cable. Do not use an extension cable.
•The radiator is a 3-wire product which must be earthed. It should be connected to the household fixed
wiring by a qualified electrician in accordance with national wiring regulations (BS.7671).
•A switch for disconnection from the electricity supply, having a contact separation in all poles that
provide full disconnection under overvoltage category III conditions, must be incorporated in the fixed
wiring.
•A switched spur outlet incorporating a 13A fuse may be used, but this must be positioned outside Zone 2
areas (i.e. away from the bath or shower, see diagram above).
•Wiring regulations also require that each circuit supplying a bathroom must be protected by a 30mA
RCD in its supply.
•Do not connect the element to the power supply until it is secured within the radiator and correctly
orientated - element at the bottom right.

Fitting to the wall:
•The fixings supplied are suitable for use in solid masonry. Use a 10mm drill bit and the wall plugs supplied.
•The wall must be strong enough to support the weight of the radiator. For any other wall type you will
need to source appropriate fixings. If fitting to a plasterboard wall, either fit directly to the wooden struts
or otherwise strengthen the wall; do not fix through plasterboard alone.
•If you are fitting the radiator to a stud wall and struggling to line the bracket positions up with the studs,
swapping one or both bracket sets so that the back plates flip to the other side may give you the
necessary flexibility. Additional brackets, if required, are available on request.
Please note - The fifth bracket is provided for a more secure fitting. It must be fitted
after the radiator is hung to "lock" it in place. It may help to mount the radiator first,
mark the drill spot on the wall, and take the radiator down to drill the hole.
