02 KICKSPACE®500 DUO
2.0 Installation
lBefore proceeding with the installation, the heating system
design must be considered and the unit correctly sized to
meet the heat loss requirements of the room.
lBefore proceeding with the installation, unpack the carton
contents and check against the checklist below:
1. KICKSPACE®unit.
2. Flexible hoses including isolating valves (1 pair).
3. Instruction manual.
4. Warranty card.
5. Grille.
6. Screw fixing kit (with grille).
lThis MYSON KICKSPACE®fan convector is designed for
installation in the cavity beneath kitchen cupboards on the
vacant floor space, or other similar locations.
lFor KICKSPACE®500 DUO a minimum of 25mm clear
headroom is required above the top of the KICKSPACE®when
fitted.
lThe unit should be mounted on a clean and level floor area
under the cupboard base.
lKICKSPACE® 500 DUO floor mounting (see Fig. 1a) - The
KICKSPACE®is normally fitted directly onto the floor and the
base of the unit is fitted with four mounting feet.
lKICKSPACE® 500 DUO plinth mounting (see Fig. 1b) -
• As an alternative to floor mounting the unit may be fitted
into the plinth.
• A suitable support must be securely fitted to the floor.
• The top of the support must be level with the lower edge of
the cut-out when fitted.
lDecide the position of the KICKSPACE®, mark out and cut the
plinth to the dimensions using table on page 6.
lComplete connection to the central heating system according
to Section 3, Water Connection.
lPosition the KICKSPACE®under the cupboard in the required
location, with the front edge just behind the line of the plinth.
lReplace the plinth and bring the KICKSPACE®forward into
the opening so the front edge projects approximately 10mm
through the plinth.
lKICKSPACE®DUO is fitted with a transit cover to protect the
electric element and to minimise risk of electric shock prior to
the grille being fitted. The cover must only be removed with
the electrical supply switched off immediately prior to fitting
of the grille.
lAlign the grille and secure it to the unit with two screws
supplied (use the shorter screws). (See Fig. 2).
lSecure the unit/grille to the plinth with two screws supplied
(use the longer screws). (See Fig. 2).
lComplete the electrical installation, switch on and test the
KICKSPACE®(see Fig. 3).
lWhen installed in a kitchen consideration should be given to
storage of perishable goods in the cupboard above.
lNo rear access to the unit shall be available after installation.
3.0 Water Connection
lThe KICKSPACE®should only be used on closed circulation,
two pipe, pump assisted central heating systems.
lFor optimum fan convector heating performance the system
must be capable of providing sufficient hot water through the
heat exchanger. This means that:
1. The minimum pipe size from boiler to fan convector must
be at least 15mm. Microbore pipe MUST NOT be used.
2. Where the unit is fitted on to a system with other emitters
a separate circuit for the fan convector should be
considered to provide adequate water flow.
3. The system water temperature on the return of the
KICKSPACE®must be above 43°C for the fan to switch on.
4. This unit is NOT suitable for one-pipe systems.
5. Optimum performance will require effective balancing of
the whole system.
6. This unit must not be used to replace a radiator in an
existing system unless an adequate flow of water can be
guaranteed.
lConnect valve ends of the flexible pipes to the KICKSPACE®.
Note: The direction of the arrows on the valves are not
significant in this application (see Fig. 4).
lOpen valves fully, check pipe connections for leaks and vent
the heat exchanger. A vent screw is provided to vent the heat
exchanger.
Pipework must be positioned correctly to ensure
flexible hoses are not kinked when installed
(see Figs. 5a & 5b). Only use the hose sets
supplied with this unit. Do not use old or
alternative hose sets.
CAUTION: Some parts of this product can
become very hot and cause burns. Particular
attention has to be given where children and
vulnerable people are present.
