The Whisper has a heat loading of 2kW. The heater is controlled by a pullcord operated on/off switch. A neon
indicator when lit shows that the unit is operational.
The appliance is fitted with an Electronic Safety Control (ES). This is a safety device which switches off the heater if for
any reason the appliance overheats. The ES control can only be re-set after the appliance has cooled down. In order to
re-set the ES Control proceed as follows:
•Switch off appliance by means of pullcord and leave for approximately 5 mins
•Switch appliance back on and ES control will re-set
•Ensure that the appliance is functioning correctly. Is the ES Control operates again, the appliance should be
checked by a registered electrician.
•Secure the mounting bracket to the appliance using the three No. 6 screws supplied (Ref B in diagram)
•Position the appliance on the partially inserted wall screws and secure the third wall screw immediately
above the appliance.
Cleaning
Always disconnect the heater from the mains before cleaning. The fan heater should always be kept clean. An
occasional wipe over with a soft cloth is all that should be necessary, ensuring all inlet and outlet vents are kept dust
free.

•Do not touch the heater with wet hands or in any way bring water in contact with it.
The supply cord on this appliance can only be replaced by the use of special tools, and should any damage or fault
occur to the heater, it must be serviced by an accredited service agent.
