Remove all the parts from the packaging materials and thoroughly read the user
manual before using this appliance for the first time. Ensure all parts indicated on
the parts diagram listed have been included in the gift box. Plastic wrapping can
be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children so ensure all packaging
materials are kept out of reach of children.
• We recommend you keep the original packaging for storing the Outdoor
Heater when not in use.
• Unwind the cord to its full length and inspect the cord and plug for damage.
• Do not use the Outdoor Heater if any parts are damaged. In case of damage,
phone the after sales support line on 1300 777 137.
• Proper mounting technique and clearances must be followed while installing
the Outdoor Heater.
• The Outdoor Heater is protected from low pressure water/rain from any
direction therefore should be located under a covered area to be protected
from high pressure water/heavy rains. If the Outdoor Heater has been
exposed to high water pressure or extreme wetness be sure to dry the
Outdoor Heater before using it again.The power outlet and plug need to
always be undercover and fully protected from all elements as the power
outlet and plug cannot get wet.
Approximate Heating Area
Infrared Radiant Heaters produce radiant heat which heats objects rather than
air.Therefore, it is imperative that objects to be heated (i.e., people), are within the
direct radiant footprint of the heater.
The below diagram shows the approximate heating area, based on an outdoor
enclosed environment, with direct overhead mounting.The radiant footprint is
reduced in angled and wall mounted installations.

Mounting Guide
This Outdoor Heater comes with a pair of metal adjustable angle mounting
brackets.The adjustable angle enables the heater to be installed on vertical,
horizontal, and inclined surfaces.
The ideal mounting position is directly above the area to be heated with a
longitudinal orientation and facing vertically downwards. If this is not possible, the
Outdoor Heater can be mounted on a wall and angled downwards. Please ensure
the mounting height is within 2.1m to 3m.
NOTE: The Outdoor Heater must never be installed in the upwards or inwards
facing position, the heating surface must always be positioned to direct the heat
in a downwards or outwards direction.

Unpack the Outdoor Heater making sure that all the parts are present and that the
heater is free from any packing material.
Do not connect the heater to the power supply until all the assembly is complete.
However, the Outdoor Heater needs to be installed within reach of a power supply.
Be sure the cord length is within reach of the power supply before installing. Please
read all instructions before installing the Outdoor Heater.
Do not connect the Outdoor Heater to the power supply if any of the components
or the power cable is damaged in any way.
To assemble the Outdoor Heater, please
follow the following steps:
1. Connect the fixed mounting bracket to the
sliding bracket (see Fig. 1). Repeat for other
fixed mounting bracket and sliding bracket
provided.
2. Lay the Outdoor Heater on a flat surface
with back of the Outdoor Heater facing
up, corded plug entry on the right and
adequate cushion provided in between
the surface and Outdoor Heater so no
damage is caused to front radiating
surface. Install sliding bracket with fixed
mounting bracket as below (see Fig. 2).
Fig. 2
NOTE: Mark the position of the two sliding brackets, using the minimum
recommended bracket spacing of 710mm to determine the correct location.
NOTE: The Outdoor Heater comes bubble wrapped.To avoid any damage to the
Outdoor Heater while laying it down on a flat surface,the bubble wrap with the bubble
side up can be placed in between the flat surface and front radiating surface.

3. Install the adjustable angle mounting
brackets onto the nominated surface
(wall or ceiling) using appropriate fixing
screws suitable for the mounted surface
material and able to support more than
double the weight of the heater being
installed (weight of heater = 6.8kg). For
your convenience, expansion screws
have been provided (see fig. 3). Distance
between the two adjustable angle
mounting brackets should be same as
distance between the fixed mounting
brackets installed on the Outdoor Heater
in step 2.
NOTE: To determine the mounting position
of the heater, refer to ‘Approximate Heating
Area’ on page 8,‘Mounting Guide’ on page
9, and ‘Clearance Guide’ on page 10.
4. Mount the Outdoor Heater by
bolting the adjustable angle
mounting brackets (installed in
step 3) with the fixed mounting
brackets on heater (see Fig. 4).
NOTE: To determine the correct
mounting orientation and angle
of the Outdoor Heater, refer to
‘Mounting Guide’ on page 9 and
mounting angles below.

Assembly (cont)
For ceiling mounted installations, the mount angles should be restricted to
anywhere in between 0° and 30° only.
For wall mounted installations, the mount angles should be restricted to anywhere
in between 15° and 45° only.
5. The Outdoor Heater is provided with a power cord fitted with 3 pin plug. Insert
the corded plug into a power outlet and turn the power outlet On.
NOTE: Before connection, make sure that specifications of the power outlet meet
the requirements of those indicated on the heater rating label.
NOTE: The power outlet MUST be equipped with an automatic circuit breaker
with rated current not less than 16A.
CAUTION: DO NOT use an extension cord with this product. Plug the Outdoor
Heater directly into power supply.
14
Electrical connections or GPOs MUST NOT be located at the back of the Outdoor
Heater.They MUST be located outside the installation footprint of the units to
reduce the effect of damage caused by heat build-up behind the Outdoor Heater.
When mounted on an incline ensure the electrical connection is located at the
lowest point of the Outdoor Heater.
NOTE: For connection of more than one Outdoor Heater to a common "ON/
OFF" isolation switch, consult your authorised electrical installer.

Problem Solution
The Outdoor Heater does not
switch on?
Check main switch for the power outlet is turned
ON. Check if remote control has batteries or if
the batteries are still working. Check if you can
switch ON the Outdoor Heater using the Manual
Control Button. If the Outdoor Heater still will not
switch ON, contact the After Sales Support on
1300 777 137 for advice.
Outdoor Heater smells when
first used?
This is caused by oil or dust left over from the
manufacturing process and will stop after a short
time.
Faint smell for short periods
after turning on the Outdoor
Heater?
This is normal and should stop after a short time.
The Outdoor Heater smells
when turned on after periods
of non-use?
Build-up of debris and dust on the Outdoor
Heater. Switch the Outdoor Heater off and allow
it to cool down and then clean with a soft damp
cloth.
Clinking noises when Outdoor
Heater is turned on and after
being turned off?
This is expansion and contraction noises of the
heaters metal components and is normal.
Poor heating performance? Exposure to extreme ambient conditions such as
high winds and excessively cold temperatures
can lower the heating performance of an
outdoor installation. If ambient conditions are
normal, check if Outdoor Heater has been
installed as per recommended mounting and
clearance guide. Contact authorised electric
installer for further guidance. If poor heating
persists, contact the After Sales Support on 1300
777 137 for advice.
