3.7 Safety Notes
The air outlet must not be obstructed. For safety reasons
the upper and lower air grilles must never be covered with
items such as washing nor obstructed by items in close
proximity (see figure to right). Objects should not be leant
against the unit nor placed between the unit and the wall.
Never leave combustible materials, such as wood, paper, textiles or flammable items such as wax,
petrol, aerosol cans etc. in the vicinity of the warm air outlet. As with all similar heaters, the flow of
rising air may cause discoloration of the wall.
The appliance must not be operated:
•In areas which are subject to the risk of fire or explosion due to chemicals, dust, gases or
vapors;
•In the immediate vicinity of pipes or containers which carry or contain combustible or
potentially explosive substances.
For this reason, the minimum clearance intervals must not be undercut.
In workshops or other areas in which the odor of waste gases, oil, petrol, etc. might occur, or in
which work is carried out involving solvents and chemicals, there is a risk of sustained odor burdens
being engendered, and possibly of dirt contamination occurring.
Before using any materials which produce flammable gases or vapors, e. g. laying or sealing parquet or
PVC flooring, or when using spray polishes, spirits and similar materials, ensure the heater is switched
off.
3.8 Maintenance
Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleansers to clean the heater. Use a vacuum cleaner regularly to
clean the upper and lower air grids.

C O N V E C T I V E P A N E L H E A T E R S 4.1 Installation Location
The ELEX ecoconvective panel heater was designed to be installed in a residence. Please ask your

against splashed water (IP24). Therefore it can be
installed outside the shaded area shown in the bathroom
area
Ensure the safety zones (mm) in diagram (left
hand side) are kept free.
If the wall covering is laid on foam, a spacer the same thickness as the foam must be placed under the
panel heater’s support. This ensures there is free space behind the panel heater to make sure its
control settings are not adversely affected.
The ELEX ecoconvective panel heater must not be installed
immediately below a wall socket. The heater must be connected
to a socket outlet or permanent terminal box at least 10cm to one
side of the heater. If the heater is installed in the Bathroom or in
humid area, the socket outlet or permanent terminal box must
conform to the IP24 requirement.

draught likely to affect the control settings (under a ventilating fan, etc.)
4.2 Wall Mounting Bracket
The wall mounting bracket is oriented centrally (See RHS diagram).
Step 1: Loosen the locking plate screw and rotate the locking plate
out of the fixing slot (See RHS images).
Then remove the mounting bracket from the heater.
Step 2: Use the wall-mounting bracket as a template for marking
the fixing holes. Position the mounting bracket in the correct
position on the wall and mark the screw-holes through the 4
mounting holes (See RHS diagram).
Step 3: Install the 4 fixing devices in the wall, ensuring they are
more than adequate to safely fix the heater to the wall.
(ST4 expansion screws are suggested).
