2009/125/EC Directive.
Safety & Care
- Our Low Surface Temperature heaters have been designed and built to the NHS requirement for safe surface temperatures which is that no surface which can be touched by the user will be more than 43 degrees C (at a room temperature of 21 degrees C.)
- This means that our Low Surface Temperature heaters out-perform the European Standard by a significant margin.

- Do NOT leave the appliance unattended where young children are present.
Thermally Operated Cut-Out
The appliance is fitted with a thermally operated cut-out (TOC). This is a safety device, which switches the heater off if, for any reason, the appliance overheats. The TOC can only be re-set after the appliance has cooled down. In order to re-set the TOC, proceed as follows:
- Switch off appliance and leave for approximately 10 minutes.
- Switch appliance back on and TOC will re-set.
- Ensure that the appliance is functioning correctly. If the TOC control operates again, the appliance should be checked by a competent electrician.
The heater carries a ‘Do Not Cover’ label to warn the user that if the appliance is covered, there is a risk of overheating.
Cleaning
Always disconnect the heater from the mains before cleaning. The heater should not require any maintenance, but it is strongly advised that it is kept clean. An occasional wipe over with a soft cloth is all that should be necessary.
- Do NOT use metal or furniture polish on any part of the heater.
- Do NOT touch the heater with wet hands or in any way bring water into contact with it.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
If Your Heater Does Not Work
- Check that power is available to the heater. The LED light should be illuminated
- Check that the thermal cut-out has not operated. Follow the reset instructions given under the section headed ‘Thermal Operated Cut-out’.
- Check that the fuse in the spur unit has not blown. This can be done by replacing the fuse with another suitable fuse.
Should none of the above remedies work, then telephone the helpline number shown in these instructions (UK ONLY). Do not attempt to repair the heater.
Connection to the Main Supply
Electrical installation should be carried out by a competent installer,
preferably registered with NICEIC
(National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting) in
accordance with the 17th edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations, (BS.7671), and
any relevant Local Authority Bye-Laws. This heater is fitted with a 3-core
mains supply cable and must be permanently connected to the electricity supply
via a double pole switch having 3mm gap on each pole. There are no exceptions.
A switched Fused Connection unit to BS.1363. Part 4 is a recommended mains
supply connection accessory to ensure compliance with safety requirements
applicable to fixed-wiring installation.
Note: When switched on for the first time the appliance may emit a slight
smell. This is purely the evaporation of a fluid used in the manufacturing
process.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
Operation
- This heater can only be used when connected to any Consort SL wireless controller. Each SL controller can control any number of heaters providing they are within the RF range.
- Please refer to the SL controller installation and control guide for full operational details.
Wall mounting
The heater must not be located immediately below a fixed socket outlet. The
Wall Mounting bracket is packed separately in the carton. Fit the top mounting
brackets to the wall at the height and centers shown in the diagram. Remove
the two feet-securing screws from the base of the heater and use these screws
to secure the right-angled bracket to the base of the rear panel of the heater
in the correct holes. These are the holes in the two protruding lugs. Mount
your appliance onto the top brackets via the two slots in the rear panel.
Secure the bottom bracket to the wall.
