Installation

Warning – Remove protective films from back and front of panel before installing.

Wall Mounting Instructions
These instructions apply to wall mounting only. Turn to page 10 for ceiling mounting instructions.
If the device is being fitted in a bathroom, the unit must not be plugged in. The plug should be removed and the unit hardwired into a fused spur. This is a job for a qualified electrician.

Minimum distances

Front| 300mm
Left| 100mm
Right| 100mm
Top| 500mm

1. Choose the mounting position, respecting the minimum distances from surrounding walls, ceilings or fixed objects listed in the table opposite. Minimum distances must be observed. Mounting closer than recommended creates a fire risk.
2. Stick the drilling template on the wall. Drill the holes with an 8mm rotary bit.
3. Push the wall plugs (C) into the holes. Insert the screws (B) into the wall plugs. The screws should protrude approx. 5mm from the plugs.
4. Hang the heating panel on the screws.
5. Slide the panel across so that the screws lock into their correct position in the  bracket, as pictured below:
6. Plug the device into a power socket to begin using. Unplug when not in use.
   Note – if the device is fitted in a bathroom, the plug must be removed and the unit hardwired into a fused spur; this is a job for a qualified electrician.

Ceiling Mounting – Direct Method

This method should only be used with panels designed for ceiling mounting, when the kit below has been purchased:

Note : Mounting kit does not come with screws. Please use screws provided with the panel.
Note : Before ceiling installation, ensure you leave at least 30cm between the panel and surrounding walls, and at least 20cm from any lighting fixtures.

1. Drill four holes on the ceiling, positioned as per the diagram below, according to the measurements given per size in the table below. You will need a 6mm drill bit.
   Panel Size (mm)| Distance A (mm)| Distance B (mm)
   ---|---|---
   595 x 595| 310| 474
   905 x 605| 480| 474
   1205 x 605| 660| 474
   1205 x 905| 660| 704
2. Push the wall plugs into the holes. Mount the four hanging brackets onto the ceiling, with the ends with the screw holes pointing outwards, as per the diagram above. Fix in place with screws. Turn the screws to the end tightly. This is important for a secure fitting.
3. Take off all four plastic caps from the mounting bars on the back of the panel.

Slide the panel onto the hanging brackets, as per the diagrams below. Slot the mounting bars onto the hanging brackets on one side. Raise the panel until it is level with the ceiling and pull it back so the mounting bars slot onto the other two brackets.

Ceiling Mounting – Suspended Method

This method should only be used with panels designed for ceiling mounting, when the kit below has been purchased:

Minimum and Maximum Suspension Lengths

Note : Measurements are from the ceiling to the back of the panel.

Components

• 1 x Heating Panel (A)
• 4 x Panel Caps (B)
• 4 x Wire Caps (C)
• 4 x Ceiling Lock Screws (D)
• 4 x Ceiling Lock Heads (E)
• 4 x Long Screws (F)
• 4 x Short Screws (G)
• 4 x Expansion Plugs (H)
• 4 x Suspension Wires (I)

Note : Before ceiling installation, ensure you leave at least 30cm between the panel and surrounding walls, and at least 20cm from any lighting fixtures.

1. Push short screws (G) into panel caps (B) and screw into the holes on the back of the panel.
2. Thread suspension wires (I) through wire caps (C). Screw (C) onto (B).
3. Drill four 6mm holes in the ceiling, using a 6mm drill bit. Fix the four expansion plugs (H) into the holes.
4. Insert the four long screws (F) into ceiling lock heads (E) and screw tight into the expansion plugs (H).
5. Attach ceiling lock screws (D) to suspension wires. Screw (D) tight into (E).
6. To adjust the length of the suspension wire, hold down the catch on the ceiling lock heads and feed the wire through the gap in the lock head. Release the catch and the wire will lock automatically in your chosen position. You can remove any excess wire with wire cutters if you wish.

Troubleshooting

normal. The device will stop making noise after it has been in use for some time.
The surface of the device is slightly raised.| Expansion of the surface material when used for the first time.| This is normal.
The surface of the device heats up but doesn’t get to full temperature.| Two possible causes:

1.  Voltage is too low.

| ****

1.  Contract an electrician to install a voltage regulator.

2. The room where the panel is hung is very cold.| 2. This is normal. Give the panel plenty of time to heat up, and make sure you have fitted a suitable number of panels for the room size and heat loss profile.

Maintenance & Servicing

Before starting maintenance:

Warning of electric voltage
