Before First Use

Remove all the parts from the packaging materials and thoroughly read the user manual before using this appliance for the first time. Ensure all parts indicated on the parts diagram listed have been included in the gift box. Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children so ensure all packaging materials are kept out of reach of children.

• We recommend you keep the original packaging for storing the Outdoor Heater when not in use.
• Unwind the cord to its full length and inspect the cord and plug for damage.
• Do not use the Outdoor Heater if any parts are damaged. In case of damage, phone the after sales support line on 1300 777 137.
• Proper mounting technique and clearances must be followed while installing the Outdoor Heater.
• The Outdoor Heater is protected from low pressure water/rain from any direction therefore should be located under a covered area to be protected from high pressure  water/heavy rains. If the Outdoor Heater has been exposed to high water pressure or extreme wetness be sure to dry the Outdoor Heater before using it again. The  power outlet and plug need to always be undercover and fully protected from all elements as the power outlet and plug cannot get wet.

Approximate Heating Area
Infrared Radiant Heaters produce radiant heat which heats objects rather than air. Therefore, it is imperative that objects to be heated (i.e., people), are within the direct  radiant footprint of the heater.
The below diagram shows the approximate heating area, based on an outdoor enclosed environment, with direct overhead mounting. The radiant footprint is reduced in angled and wall mounted installations.

Outdoor spot heating

Mounting Guide
This Outdoor Heater comes with a pair of metal adjustable angle mounting brackets. The adjustable angle enables the heater to be installed on vertical, horizontal, and  inclined surfaces.

The ideal mounting position is directly above the area to be heated with a longitudinal orientation and facing vertically downwards. If this is not possible, the Outdoor Heater  can be mounted on a wall and angled downwards. Please ensure the mounting height is within 2.1m to 3m.

NOTE: The Outdoor Heater must never be installed in the upwards or inwards facing position, the heating surface must always be positioned to direct the heat in a downwards or outwards direction.

Clearance Guide
Minimum clearances when mounting the Outdoor Heater on a vertical wall.

Minimum clearances when mounting the Outdoor Heater parallel with a ceiling.

Minimum clearances when mounting the Outdoor Heater at an angle to a ceiling.

Assembly

Unpack the Outdoor Heater making sure that all the parts are present and that the heater is free from any packing material.
Do not connect the heater to the power supply until all the assembly is complete.
However, the Outdoor Heater needs to be installed within reach of a power supply.
Be sure the cord length is within reach of the power supply before installing. Please read all instructions before installing the Outdoor Heater.
Do not connect the Outdoor Heater to the power supply if any of the components or the power cable is damaged in any way.

To assemble the Outdoor Heater, please follow the following steps:

1. Connect the fixed mounting bracket to the sliding bracket (see Fig. 1). Repeat for other fixed mounting bracket and sliding bracket provided.

2. Lay the Outdoor Heater on a flat surface  with back of the Outdoor Heater facing up, corded plug entry on the right and adequate cushion provided in between the  surface and Outdoor Heater so no damage is caused to front radiating surface. Install sliding bracket with fixed mounting bracket as below (see Fig. 2). NOTE: Mark the position of the two sliding brackets, using the minimum recommended bracket spacing of 710mm to determine the correct location.
   NOTE: The Outdoor Heater comes bubble wrapped. To avoid any damage to the Outdoor Heater while laying it down on a flat surface, the bubble wrap with the bubble side up can be placed in between the flat surface and front radiating surface.

3. Install the adjustable angle mounting brackets onto the nominated surface (wall or ceiling) using appropriate fixing screws suitable for the mounted surface material and able to support more than double the weight of the heater being installed (weight of heater = 6.8kg). For your convenience, expansion screws have been provided (see fig. 3). Distance between the two adjustable angle mounting brackets should be same as distance between the fixed mounting brackets installed on the Outdoor Heater in step 2. NOTE: To determine the mounting position of the heater, refer to ‘Approximate Heating Area’ on page 8, ‘Mounting Guide’ on page 9, and ‘Clearance Guide’ on page 10.

4. Mount the Outdoor Heater by bolting the adjustable angle mounting brackets (installed in step 3) with the fixed mounting brackets on heater (see Fig. 4). NOTE: To determine the correct mounting orientation and angle of the Outdoor Heater, refer to ‘Mounting Guide’ on page 9 and mounting angles below.
   For ceiling mounted installations, the mount angles should be restricted to anywhere in between 0° and 30° only.
   For wall mounted installations, the mount angles should be restricted to anywhere in between 15° and 45° only.

5. The Outdoor Heater is provided with a power cord fitted with 3 pin plug. Insert the corded plug into a power outlet and turn the power outlet On.
   NOTE: Before connection, make sure that specifications of the power outlet meet the requirements of those indicated on the heater rating label.
   NOTE: The power outlet MUST be equipped with an automatic circuit breaker with rated current not less than 16A.
   CAUTION: DO NOT use an extension cord with this product. Plug the Outdoor Heater directly into power supply.

Location of Electrical Connection

Electrical connections or GPOs MUST NOT be located at the back of the Outdoor Heater. They MUST be located outside the installation footprint of the units to reduce  the effect of damage caused by heat build-up behind the Outdoor Heater.
When mounted on an incline ensure the electrical connection is located at the lowest point of the Outdoor Heater.

NOTE: For connection of more than one Outdoor Heater to a common “ON/ OFF” isolation switch, consult your authorised electrical installer.
