PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE

Installing the appliance
Your appliance is delivered with its own hanging bracket. However,the choice of screws and of wall plugs depends on the nature of your wall and you are responsible for ensuring that you use screwsand wall plugs that are adapted to the weight of the appliance.
Once the you have removed the appliance from its cardboard box, you can remove the hanging bracket, which you can use as a hole drilling template.

Installation rules
This appliance has been designed to be installed in a residential room.
The installation must be carried out implementing best practices and in accordance with the current standards in the country of installation (NF C 15-100 for France).

Observe the minimum distances from furniture when locating the appliance (refer to the diagram).
If you have a foam-mounted wall covering then a wedge that is the same thickness as the foam must be placed under the appliance’s bracket so that an open space is maintained behind the appliance to prevent any interference with its regulation function.

• Do not install the appliance in a draught that is likely to interfere with its regulation function (under a Centralised Mechanical Ventilation system, etc), or
• Under a fixed electric socket, or
• In bathroom areas shown as Volume 1.
  Appliances used in bathrooms must be installed so that the switches and other devices for controlling the appliance cannot be touched by an individual in the bath or the shower.

Installing the appliances at altitude causes a rise in the air outlet temperature of some 10°C per 1000 m in altitude).

Installing a vertical appliance horizontally and vice versa is prohibited. Using the appliance in a mobile configuration, on feet or on rollers, in prohibited.

INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE

1. Unlocking the hanging bracket
   We recommend leaving the appliance in its protective wedges and laying it flat, face downwards.

   • Use a screwdriver to lift the tab, without deforming the tab.
   • Push the bracket downwards to disengage the upper hooks.
   • Pivot the hanging bracket.
   • Then remove the bracket.

2. Mounting the hanging bracket

   • Place the hanging bracket on the floor against the wall.
   • Find the drilling points A. These give the position of the lower mounting points.
   • Raise the hanging bracket, aligning it with drilling point A to identify the drilling points B. These give the position of the upper mounting points.
   • Drill the four holes and fit wall plugs suited to your wall (e.g. plasterboard) and the weight of the appliance.
   • Position the hanging bracket and tighten down the screws.

CONNECTING THE APPLIANCE

Connection guidelines

• The appliance must be supplied with 230V 50 Hz.
• The appliance must be directly connected to the mains downstream of the omnipolar cut-off device in accordance with installation guidelines. A 3-wire cable (Brown = Phase, Blue = Neutral, Black = Pilot wire) is used to connect to the supply circuit through a junction box.
• In humid rooms, such as kitchens and bathrooms, the junction box must be installed at least 25 cm from the ground. The installation must be equipped with a 30mA residual-current circuit-breaker protective device.
• Connection to ground is prohibited. Do not connect the pilot wire (black) to ground.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, their after sales department or by a similarly qualified person, in order to avoid any danger.
• If the control or controlled device is protected by a 30mA residual-current circuit-breaker protective device (e.g. in the bathroom) then the power supply for the pilot wire on this differential needs to be protected.

LOCKING THE APPLIANCE ON ITS HANGING BRACKET

• Place the appliance on the S bracket as shown in the diagram.
• Move the appliance towards the bracket, then lift the appliance (arrows 1 and 2).
• Insert the mounting brackets into the holes on the appliance, then lower the appliance (arrow 3).

MAINTENANCE

Before performing any maintenance work, switch off your appliance by moving the On/Off switch to the 0 0 and switching off the controller, if you have one.
To maintain the performance of your radiator, dust needs to be removed from the lower and upper grills of the appliance approximately twice a year using a vacuum cleaner or a brush. The appliance can be cleaned using a damp cloth; never use abrasive products and solvents. In a polluted environment, dirt can appear on the appliance’s grill. This phenomenon is associated with the poor quality of the ambient air. In this case, we recommend checking that the room is properly ventilated (ventilation, air inlet, etc.). This dirt does not constitute grounds for warranty replacement of the appliance.
