Safety Information

The Complete Heating Solutions appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above and individuals with reduced physical or mental capabilities if they have been given proper supervision or instruction on how to use the appliance safely. Children under the age of 8 should not play with the appliance or have access to its cord. Children aged 3 years and below should be kept away from the unit unless continuously supervised. Children aged 3 to 8 years should only switch on/off the appliance if they have been given instruction on how to use it safely, and they should not plug in, clean, or perform user maintenance on the appliance.

Installation

Before proceeding with installation, consider the heating system design and ensure that the unit is correctly sized to meet the heat loss requirements of the room. Unpack the carton contents and check against the checklist provided. The unit should be mounted on a clean and level floor area under the cupboard base. Align the grille and secure it to the unit with two screws (use the shorter screws), then secure the unit/grille to the plinth with two screws (use the longer screws). When installed in a kitchen, consider the storage of perishable goods in the cupboard above.

Water Connection

For optimum fan convector heating performance, ensure that the system can provide sufficient hot water through the heat exchanger. The minimum pipe size from boiler to fan convector must be at least 15mm, and microbore pipe must not be used. Where the unit is fitted on to a system with other emitters, a separate circuit for the fan convector should be considered to provide adequate water flow. This unit is not suitable for one-pipe systems. Optimum performance will require effective balancing of the whole system. This unit must not be used to replace a radiator in an existing system unless an adequate flow of water can be guaranteed. Pipework must be positioned correctly to ensure flexible hoses are not kinked when installed (see Figs. 5a & 5b). Only use the hose sets supplied with this unit. Do not use old or alternative hose sets. The direction of the arrows on the valves are not significant in this application (see Fig. 4).

Electrical Connection

The electrical installation must be done by a qualified electrician.

Controls

This unit is controlled by the switches on the front of the unit (see Fig. 3).
Ensure the electricity supply is switched on.

Heating Mode

• Set the heating/fan only switch to heating
• Set fan speed control to position I
• The unit will now run on low fan speed.

The system water temperature on the return of the KICKSPACE® must be above 30°C for the fan to switch on
Eg. When the mean water temperature is greater than 30°C the fan will switch on, then when the water temperature drops below 30°C the fan will switch off.
Performance will depend on the water temperature at the coil and the flow though the coil.
The fan speed can be set to boost by switching the fan speed switch to II.
A low speed setting is recommended for normal operation with the higher speeds for boost heating when required.
Off Position
Set the fan speed selector switch to the off (O) position.

Fan Only Mode
If required, the KICKSPACE® can be used in summer for air circulation without heat.

• Set the heating/fan only switch to fan only
• Adjust fan speed to required setting.

Troubleshooting

Once installed this fan convector becomes an integral part of a complete heating system that includes boiler, pump, other emitters such as radiators and fan convectors, and a number of heating controls, dependent on system complexity. An apparent problem with this unit may be the result of system controls being incorrectly set and can be solved easily without calling out your installer. Before calling your installer, please carry out the checks listed below.

Fan not working in heating mode

| Unit switched off| Turn on
Room thermostat not calling for heat| Turn up room thermostat
Unit isolating valves shut| Open valves
Water temperature of KICKSPACE® below 30°C| Ensure boiler, pump and other central heating equipment is working correctly, if not contact your installer
Note: Operation of fan can be checked by switching to fan only setting

If the fan convector is still faulty after checking the above, call your installer.
KICKSPACE® may have poor performance/cycle if a low water temperature/flow rate is supplied, please refer to your installer as this could be from the following:

• Unit incorrectly sized for heat loss of room
• Lack of flow to KICKSPACE® from heating system
• Pipe sizes/pump sized incorrectly
• System incorrectly balanced
