temperature. Do not use this heater in small rooms when they are
occupied by persons not capable of leaving the room on their own,
unless constant supervision is provided.
Make sure your Edge is mounted at least 10cm from the oor, 80cm away from other objects in
front and has at least 50cm cleaance to the left and right sides.
Use the Sleeve Anchors (4 x E) to nail the Slot Bracket (D)
on the wall vertically as shown.
Recommended height:
To mount your heater 25-40cm high from the oor, height
of the Slot Bracket’s (D) upper edge on the wall should be
85-100cm.
Install the mains socket (bottom edge) 40-55cm vertically
higher than the Slot Bracket’s upper edge.
If the wall mains socket is there already, to make a ush
mounting, you need to vertically x the Slot Bracket 8cm
(minimum) below the socket’s bottom edge. Make sure
the Slot Bracket is at least 70cm high from the oor.

If you want to x your heater on the wall to
avoid theft, before you mount the heater,
fasten the Fix Bracket (F) to the heater by its
Fix Screw (F) - the Screw and Washer may be
assembled on the Heater’s body already).
After mounting the heater, nail the Bracket
on the wall by the Sleeve Anchor (1 x E) - see

Hold the Heater (A) vertically and insert
the Hook on the back into the slot of the
Bracket (D). To get the ush mounting, you
need to plug in before mounting the heater.
Twist the cable into the heater’s back and
plug in (make sure the Power Switch is at

your mains socket’s bottom edge shall be
vertically 10-60cm higher than the Slot
Bracket‘s upper edge.
The gap between the heater and the wall is
bigger than the cable’s diameter, so plugging
in a socket away from the heater is possible.
