How to install your heater
-
1. Position the heater above the target heat zone by aiming the reflector in the
direction required for the wall-mounted installation. The optimal angle of
inclination is 45° - 5 to the floor.
2. The recommended minimum mounting height is 2.5 meters above the floor
surface with a maximum of 3.0 meters.
3. The recommended minimum mounting clearance to ceiling or structure above is
0.3 meters.
4. The minimum distance from the front face of the heater and the surface to be
heated must be at least 1,5m.
5. Never install the heater directly at a flammable surface within the minimum
surface mounting distance.
6. We recommend that the heater should not be used in non-ventilated, dusty
environments to avoid damage to the element.
7. Heater should be installed in a place sheltered from the rain.
8. ONLY use the brackets/arm supplied with the heater to fit it to the surface.

FIXED INSTALLATION
USING MORE THAN ONE HEATER
Since Infrared works like the sun, there will always be a
“shadow” side on the opposite direction from the heat. The
ideal scenario is to have heaters from both sides, if your
structure and budget allows it
3
1. Disconnect the power supply and ensure that the element is not illuminated and
that the heater body and element are cool.
2. Unscrew the 2 nuts that keeps the body attached to the wall bracket and remove
the main body from the bracket.
Remove the grids by gently bending the wires towards you. The ends will slide out.
3. Unscrew the 3 screws on the side plate apposite to the electrical connection .
4. Loosen the black screw on the connection block (Where the cable goes into the
heater) to release the heat resistant cable.
5. Slowly pull on the slider (the piece of aluminum that holds the element ) while
feeding the electric cable.
6. Be care full not to pull to hard on the cable.
7. Unscrew the two ceramic connectors at the back and separate the two wires
that were connected by the connectors.
8. Remove the old element from the clips by pulling it “forward”
9. Remove your new element from it’s box and cut and clean the wires to the same
length is the old element.
10. Slowly and carefully insert the new element into the clips. BE CARE FULL NOT
TO TOUCH THE ELEMENT WITH YOUR BARE HANDS. Use gloves / tissue paper if
necessary. It helps to have someone bending the clips open to ease the inserting
process.
10. Connect the new wires with the same ceramic connectors. Ensure that they
“screw / cut” into the new wires for a secure connection.
11. Slide the lamp holder back into the body, secure the side plate with the 3
screws, tighten the cable and replace the grid.
General cleaning
!
!
!
General dishwasher soap and water will clean the inside and outside of the body.
Use alcohol wipe to clean the element in the event that you touched it. NEW USE THE HEATER WITH
AN ELEMENT WITH FINGERMARKS ON IT. IT WILL REDUCE THE ELEMENT LIVE DRAMATICALLY.
The front safety grids of the brass heaters can be cleaned with any commercial Brass cleaner
