1 | Warnings & Precautions
Please read these instructions thoroughly before commencing installation.
Check that all ancillary components are present and that the product has not
suffered any damage during transit.
This radiator is supplied with an electric heating element and is for use with an
electric supply only. The product cannot be used as part of a central heating system
or as a dual source radiator. This radiator has been pre-filled and adjusted for
electric use. No filling is required. Do not remove any of the seals as this might
cause leakages and void the warranty. Improper adjustment of the fluid level in the
radiator can cause malfunction.
The radiator can be used for heating throughout the home provided it is fitted with
and controlled via the supplied heating element. Consult the manual of the supplied
element for full safety, installation and functionality details.
Warning
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
Warning
As with conventional radiators, this electric radiator will get hot to the touch
during operation. If the radiator is left on full power for a prolonged period
of time the surface temperature can rise to 70 °C (+/- 5 °C).
Warning
When drilling or fixing into walls, floors or ceilings it is essential you check for
pipes and wires before commencing. Please ensure that you wear all

Full instructions for fitting the element can be found within the element manual. The
user must ensure installation is in accordance with the following:
•The element must be fitted in the bottom right side.
•The heating element must not be connected to the electric supply until it is
secured inside the radiator and correctly orientated.
•The radiator is filled with an anti-freezing liquid exactly to the level required
by the element. Ensure that no liquid is lost during installation.

3 – Wall Mounting
1. Check that the wall is strong enough to hold the weight of the pre-filled
radiator.
a. The fixings supplied are suitable for use in solid masonry. For any
other wall type you will need to source appropriate fixings.
b. If fitting to a plasterboard wall, either fit directly to the wooden struts
or strengthen the wall; do not fix through plasterboard alone.
c. 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.
2. Identify the points where the Brackets (A,
B) will slot between the radiator bars.
a. Place the Bracket Guards (C) in the
Brackets (A, B).
b. The Brackets (A, B) should slot
between the bars with their
mounting plates facing together:
with the Left Brackets (A) on the left
and the Right Brackets (B) on the
right as you face the radiator.

3. Choose the mounting location and affix
the Brackets (A, B) accordingly.
a. Use a tape measure, spirit level
and pencil to mark the bracket
locations, as per step 2.
b. Using a 10mm drill bit, drill four
holes in the marked locations and
push the Wall Plugs (D) inside.
c. Position the Wall Brackets (A, B)
over the holes and fix in place
using the Washers (E)and Wall
Screws (F).
4. The radiator is now ready to mount. You
may choose to add the optional security
bracket at this stage.
a. Lift the radiator onto the Brackets
(A, B).
b. OPTIONAL – Position the
remaining Bracket (A) pointing
downwards above one of the top
brackets, such that the radiator
top bar is now locked in place.
Mark the bracket location on the
wall before lifting the radiator off
the brackets.
c. Use the 10mm drill bit to drill the
marked bracket hole and push the
remaining Wall Plug (D) inside. Replace the radiator, re-position the
bracket and use the remaining Washer (E) and Wall Screw (F) to fix.
4 – Connecting the Element
Wiring the heating element to the mains is a job for a qualified electrician. Please
consult the element manual for full instructions and safety warnings, paying special
consideration to the following:
•The radiator and its element are designed to be used under AC 230 voltage
and should be connected to the household fixed wiring by a qualified
electrician in accordance with national wiring regulations.

•Do not install the radiator under or in front of a power socket or connector
box.
•The power lead must be connected to a socket which must be at least 25cm
from the floor. Do not connect the element to the power supply until it is
secured within the radiator and correctly orientated, as above.
