The Solaira Cosy XL heater produces radiant heat like the sun, warming people and objects
rather than the air in between. It is mounted on an adjustable bracket that allows the heat to
be directed exactly where it is required. Its attractive, lightweight design means that it is
effective yet unobtrusive. The Cosy XL infrared radiant weatherproof heater is designed for
indoor and outdoor use.
Please read the following instructions carefully before use. The safety of this heater is
guaranteed only by its correct usage in accordance with these instructions therefore
they should be retained for future reference.
Before using this appliance
1. Check that the voltage indicated on the units rating label corresponds to the mains
supply voltage.
2. Do not install the heaters less than the minimum height from the floor as specified below
in the specification - Table. 1.
3. Ensure that the heater has been securely fastened in its final mounting position.
4. WARNING - This appliance must be grounded!
5. WARNING - Keep the mains cord away from the body of the heater which will get hot
during use.
6. If a socket outlet is used do not position the outlet immediately behind the heater.
7. Avoid the use of an extension cord with this product.
8. Do not cover or obstruct the heater while it is in use.
9. Do not insert any object through any slot or opening in the heater.
10. Do not use if guard is not present.
11. WARNING - When replacing the emitter or cleaning the unit, ensure that the 3-pin 120
volt plug is removed from its socket outlet or if hard wired circuit is disconnected from the
mains supply. Note always ensure that the emitter is cool before handling.
12. Do not handle the halogen emitter with bare hands. If it is inadvertently
touched, remove finger marks with a soft cloth and methylated spirit or
rubbing alcohol. Otherwise, the marks will burn into the quartz emitter during
use causing premature heater failure.
13. The heater is not intended for use by young children and must be supervised by a
responsible person at all times.
14. Always remove the 3-pin 120 volt plug on the 120 volt heater if it is not being used.

WARNING - RISK OF FIRE: The 240 volt 2 kilowatt heater is not intended for use indoor
residential or household heater but maybe used for commercial/industrial use.

The Cosy XL heater can be mounted in a horizontal (Fig.
A) or angled manner (Fig. B).
1. Securely fasten the Cosy XL bracket to the mounting
surface using the fixing holes in the bracket. Please refer
to Table 1 for recommended positioning of the heater.
2. Fix in the required angular position by tightening the
fixing bolt on the bracket at the rear of the heater.
3. The Cosy XL bracket can be used to adjust the
direction of the heater up and down (see Fig. C). This is
done by loosening the bolts fixing the heater to the
bracket, and then retightening once the correct position
is achieved.
4. Secure the supply cable so the cable is directed away
from the heater and is not resting on the body or
obstructing the air-vents.

Switch off/unplug the heater from the mains supply
when mounting or adjusting the heater position.
CAUTION: When mounting the heater horizontally,
do not position the heater at an angle more than 50°
or less then 45° as shown in Fig. A.
CAUTION: The heater should be mounted with the
minimum clearances adhered to. Please refer to
Table 1 for the recommended positioning of the
heater. Do not install the heater in a corner!
CAUTION: When mounted the heater at an angle, ensure the back of the heater is
parallel to the mounting surface (See Fig. B). The heater should always be angled
downwards when mounting this way with the terminal box at the bottom of the heater -
see Fig. B.
CAUTION: Always allow the heater to cool before attempting to reposition/move. Never
attempt to move the heater while it is switched on!

CAUTION: Unplug/Switch off unit from the mains supply before replacing emitter or any
maintenance procedure including cleaning.
CAUTION: Should dust or dirt appear on the reflector, it is recommended that that the guard and
emitter are removed and the reflector is wiped with a lint-free cloth before reassembling (see
emitter replacement instructions).
NOTE: For replacement emitters or spare parts (see diagram on back page) please contact
your local distributor quoting model type and rating from rating label. It is very important
that your replacement emitter is exactly the same as the one it was supplied with. Failure
to fit the exact same type can cause the heater to prematurely fail.
!
Fig. D
CAUTION: Please ensure that the length of wires on the replacement emitter are the same as
shown in the diagram below (Fig. D). The sleeves should be shorter than the overall length of the
wires to allow them to pass through the terminal box sealing gasket. The stripped ends should be
fitted with plain tube crimps to ensure good connections are made.

7. Remove the two screws as highlighted on in Fig. J to take out the side reflector bracket
and reflector assembly that allows access the emitter holding clip. Repeat at opposite end of
emitter.
8. Where the emitter wires are fed through the gasket into the terminal box (Fig. J), gently
pull the emitter wires through the body of the heater so the wires exit the terminal box.
9. At the opposite end of the emitter, the wire will be clearly visible in the emitter wire tube so
gently pull the long wire (Fig. K) out of the tube until it is free.
10. One at a time pull the spring clips back in the direction shown in Fig. L and lift up the
ceramic caps of the emitter to remove it from the heater.
11. The emitter should now be removed from the heater. Refit the new emitter in reverse
order ensuring the ceramic caps are correctly seated in the emitter holders, no wires are
trapped and all screws are fully tightened.
