IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE
WARNING - DO NOT USE THIS HEATER IN THE IMMEDIATE
SURROUNDINGS OF A BATH, A SHOWER OR A SWIMMING
POOL.
DO NOT COVER THE APPLIANCE or place material or garments
on it, or obstruct the air circulation around this appliance, for
example with curtains or furniture, as this could cause
overheating and a fire risk.
DO NOT PLACE AEROSOLS OR OTHER CONTAINERS
SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT IN THE DIRECT AIRFLOW FROM THE
UNIT.
THIS HEATER MUST NOT BE LOCATED IMMEDIATELY BELOW
A FIXED SOCKET OUTLET.
WARNING – DISCONNECT THE HEATER FROM THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE UNDERTAKING SERVICE OR
REPAIR.
WARNING – If the appliance is fitted in a bathroom, a cable outlet
will be necessary with the supply to the unit controlled by a
double pole switch. The switch if inside the bathroom should
be pull cord operated and if outside should be adjacent to the
entrance door. The appliance must be mounted so that no part
of it can be touched by any person using bath or shower.
THIS HEATER MUST NOT BE OPERATED WITHOUT THE COVER
CORRECTLY IN POSITION.
General
The heater has a loading of 2KW. It is designed for permanent wall
mounting and is suitable for operation on A.C. electricity supply having
the same voltage as shown on the rating label.
The heater is fitted with an internally mounted selector switch which on
installation of the heater allows a choice of 1kW or 2kW output to suit
the dimensions of the room to be heated.
In rooms of less than 9 – 11 cubic m. (350 - 400 cubic ft.) 1kW output
should be selected, otherwise nuisance tripping of the thermal overload
cut-out may occur.
NOTE : THE SWITCH HAS BEEN FACTORY SET FOR 2kW
OPERATION.
SUPPLY CABLE IS NOT SUPPLIED WITH THIS APPLIANCE AND IT
SHOULD THEREFORE BE INSTALLED BY A COMPETENT
ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE IEE REGULATIONS.
The Controls
The cut-out is a safety device which switches off the heater and fan if for
any reason the appliance overheats (see ‘Safety’).
The thermal fuse link is provided as an added safety feature, and operates
to open circuit if there is abnormal overheating within the appliance. The
operation of these safety devices is described under ‘Safety’
The pull cord switch operates the ON/OFF switch. ( An indicator light
illuminates to show when the heater is ON and does not illuminate when
the heater is OFF) .
The heateris fitted with an adjustable thermostat, which has three
different settings : 1. - Low, 2. - Medium, 3 - High. This gives you an
approximate room temperature range of 18°C - 32°C depending on room
size. The temperature switches to half heat when the room warms up.
Full heat will be switched on automatically when the room temperature
falls. The thermostat will only function when 2KW is selected. The
thermostat has been factory set on ‘2’ (Medium).
Safety
Cut-Out
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a thermal cut-out. In the
event that the product overheats, the cut-out switches the heater off
automatically.
To bring the heater back into operation, remove the cause of overheating,
then turn off the electrical supply to the heater for a few minutes.
When the heater has cooled sufficiently reconnect and switch on the
heater.
Fuse Link
A thermal fuse link is provided as an added safety feature. If the fuse link
operates and opens circuit it is the result of abnormal overheating within
the appliance, and servicing of the appliance by a competent service
engineer will be required in order to ensure the future safe operation of
the heater. Customer Services should be contacted, who will arrange the
replacement of any faulty parts and the fitting of a new fuse link.

Installation
Before undertaking installation work, ensure the electricity supply is
disconnected from any relevant fixed wiring. Supply cable is not supplied
with this appliance and it should therefore be installed by a competent
electrician in accordance with the IEE wiring regulations.
The supply circuit must be adequate for the input of the appliance and
must be protected with a 13A fuse.
A suitable termination to the fixed wiring of the premises must be provided
adjacent to the final position of the appliance through a double pole
switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles.
Installation Procedure
It is essential to observe minimum wall mounting clearances, as per
Fig. 1 overleaf.
The appliance should be fitted horizontally, with the cable entry at the
top and grille at the bottom. It must be mounted not less than 1.8 metres
above the floor with a clearance of at least 600mm to any shelf or
projecting surface below the heater and not less than 280mm below the
ceiling or other projecting surface. It must also be not less than 250mm
from an adjacent projecting surface. For most effective heating
performance, the heater should be mounted at the minimum height :-
i.e.- 1.8 metres above the floor.
Care must be taken to ensure that when in use, the air stream is not
obstructed by a high shelf or cabinet.
The appliance is secured to the wall with three screws, two through
keyhole slots and one through a centrally positioned lower hole to hold
the appliance firmly in position (see Fig 2).
1. Remove the top cover from the appliance by removing the two
screws securing the top cover and hinging it back.
2. Mark the position of the keyhole slots on the wall and drill and plug
for the two suitable screws.
3. Partially insert the two screws, then hang the appliance on these
screws and mark the position of the lower centrally positioned screw.
4. Remove the appliance and drill and plug for the third screw.
5. Remount the appliance on the wall, ensure that it is horizontal and
fix in position by tightening all three screws.
6. Feed the supply cord or wires through the inlet at the top rear of
the appliance leaving sufficient free length to connect to the terminal
block.
7. Make electrical connections to the terminal block ensuring that the
live connection is made to the terminal marked ‘L’ and the neutral
connection to the terminal marked ‘N’ (see Fig 2 exploded view).
8. Operate the selector switch to provide either 1kW or 2kW output.
9. Replace the top cover and screws.
The appliance is now ready for use and the electricity supply can be
reinstated.
