****Installation Instructions
WARNING: Do not install the heater where the controls can be reached by a
person bathing or showering.
CAUTION: The heater must not be located directly beneath a wall socket
outlet.
CAUTION: The supplied hanging components are designed for use with this
heater only. Improper use, or use for purposes other than intended, may cause
damage or injury.
-
If desired, before mounting the electronic convector the thermostat slider can be set to limit the available range. (Figure 1)
□ Remove the two plastic pins.
□ Insert the pins in the preferred holes to limit the slider range. -
Remove the mounting bracket from the back of the convector.
-
Using the mounting bracket as a guide determine the location of the convector, see Figure 2 for minimum clearances.
-
Attach the mounting bracket securely to the wall using the appropriate hardware (not included) for the mounting surface.
-
Mount the convector to the mounting bracket.
NOTE: Ensure that the air can enter and leave the heater freely, through the inlets at the bottom and the outlets at the top.
Electrical Connection
WARNING: Heater and controls should be installed by a qualified
contractor. Wiring procedures and connections should be in accordance with the
National Electric Code (CEC & NEC) and local codes.
Connect the supply wire into a properly rated recess box.
NOTE: Consult your local electrical code for applicable wire gauge.
Connect L1 from the power supply to the L1 labelled wire from the unit,
connect the L2 wire from the power supply to the L2 labelled wire from the
unit, and connect the ground to the ground screw on the unit.
**** Operation
WARNING: A minimum distance of 3 ft. (0.9 m) must be maintained in front
of the heater.
WARNING: This heater must be properly installed before it is used.
The manual controls are located on the right hand side, at the top of the appliance.
- Press the power button to power on the unit. An indicator light beside the power button shows when the unit is powered on.
- The indicator light below the heat symbol is illuminated when the elements are actually heating.
NOTE: Should the heater overheat, an automatic thermal cut out will turn
the heater off.
The heater will reactivate once the heater has cooled.
Controlling the temperature
The heater is fitted with an adjustable thermostat, enabling the room
temperature to be controlled by adjusting the slider accordingly.
- The frost protector setting (*) represents a room temperature of approximately 5 °C (41 °F) and may be used for protection against frost.
- The MAX setting represents a room temperature of approximately 30 °C (86 °F).
- Adjust the slider to your individual comfort level. When the room temperature has reached the desired level, the power to the elements will be reduced. The heater will then maintain the room temperature at the chosen level.
Maintenance
WARNING: Disconnect power and allow the unit to completely cool before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or damage to persons.
CAUTION: The heater should not be operated with an accumulation of dust
or dirt on or in the unit, as this can cause a build up of heat and eventual
damage. For this reason the heater must be inspected regularly, depending upon
conditions and at least at yearly intervals.
The outer surface can be wiped with a soft damp cloth.
NOTE: Do not use scouring powder or furniture polish, as these can damage
the surface.
Dust that collects within the unit can be removed from the outside using a
vacuum cleaner.
