KICKSPACE®500, 600, 600-12V & 800
1.0 General Information
2.0 Heating System Design
lThis MYSON KICKSPACE®fan convector is designed for
installation in the cavity beneath kitchen cupboards on the
vacant floor space, or other similar locations.
lNo rear access shall be available to the unit after installation.
lThe KICKSPACE®should only be used on closed circulation,
two pipe, pump assisted central heating systems.
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.
lFlexible hoses with integral isolating valves are supplied to
allow easy insallation and future access for maintenance.
lKICKSPACE®is supplied with integral controls including fan
speed selector and summer/winter switch.
lIn heating mode a low limit thermostat prevents the fan from
operating if the heating system water temperature is below
43°C.
lIn summer mode the fan can be operated to circulate a flow
of air without any heat supply.
lThe KICKSPACE®600-12V is supplied with a separate 12V
transformer that enables the unit to be fitted in a bathroom.
Both the unit and the transformer must be positioned in
accordance with local and national regulations.
lThis 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.
lChildren should be supervised so that they do not play with
the appliance.
This fan convector must be fitted on a two pipe, pumped
circulation heating system.
For 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 must be above 43°C for fan to switch on,
and for satisfactory operation the mean water temperature
should not be below 60°C.
4. This unit is NOT suitable for one-pipe systems.
5. Optimum performance will require effective balancing of the
whole system.
6. It is not recommended that this unit is used to replace a
radiator in an existing system unless an adequate flow of
water can be guaranteed.
3.0 Selection and Sizing for Heating
lHeat output performance is given in the Technical Data
section of this manual.
lSince KICKSPACE®units are supplied with fan speed control
it is important to size the unit to match the calculated heat
loss requirements of the room with the unit operating at the
low fan speed.
lThe higher fan speed can then be used for more rapid
heating from cold in extreme conditions.
4.0 Location
lThis KICKSPACE®unit is designed for installation in the
cavity beneath cupboards in kitchens or other similar
locations on the vacant floor space.
lWhen installed in a kitchen consideration should be given to
storage of perishable goods in the cupboard above.
lA 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.
