The heater must be mounted minimum distances of 200mm from floor
level and 300mm from any adjacent wall (see the installation diagram
on page 7). The heater should be mounted on the wall in such a
location that it will not create a draft to anyone sitting in the room.
If the heater is to be permanently wired, provision should be made for
connection to mainspower supply.Removethe metal knockoutin the
back of heater, to allow for cable entry, or use the hole at the bottom of
the heater. Cable entry position on the wall, relative to heater fixing
holes,is shown in the installation diagram on page 7. To fix the heater

1.Remove the hinged front panel from the heater by unscrewing
the two screws at the top ofthe front panel. The hinged front
panel maybe removed for ease of installation.
2.Attach the heater tothe wall byscrewing the four fixing screws
(provided) through mounting holes on the back of the heater. At
least two ofthe fixing screws should be attached to a wall stud.
Alternatively toggle bolts (not provided) could be used where stud
centresare inconvenient. For fixing hole centres,see the
installation diagram on page 7.
