SS3E Electric Plinth Heater
INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that careful thought be given to siting the appliance within
the room. Try to avoid being directly in front of the heater for long periods.
Consider where you may stand, at a work surface or the like. Position the
heater to deliver the benefit of its warmth but not so as to overheat
yourself.
The heater must not be located immediately below a fixed socket outlet.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The appliance is designed to fit behind the plinth board and below the base
shelf of a kitchen-type cupboard ie within the free plinth space. Figure 1
below shows the MINIMUM size cupboard unit into which the appliance may be
fitted. The appliance may be installed into a cupboard with dimensions larger
than those given above.
UNIT REF
| A – Width | 600 mm |
|---|---|
| B – Plinth Height (minimum) | 100 mm |
| C – Base Shelf Overhang | 75 mm-max |
| D – Depth | 500 mm |
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
- Cut a hole in the plinth board, to the dimensions given in Figure 2.
- The power supply cable must be routed from the connecting unit into the plinth space. The cable shall be sufficiently long as to pass through the plinth space and plinth board. This enables the appliance to be subsequently withdrawn from the plinth if maintenance is required. Ensure no sharp edges are present along the power cable route.
- The appliance can now be slid through the plinth board, until the fascia panel abutts the outside of the plinth board. Screw the fascia panel to the plinth board with the screws provided.
- Connect the unit to the mains power supply in accordance with the appropriate section of these instructions.
| Model | E | F | G | H |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SS3E | 500 | 540 | 95 | 30 |
To remove the appliance from the plinth space, should maintenance be required,
disconnect mains power supply, unscrew fascia panel and slide out the
appliance.
These dimensions are for a 600mm wide by 100mm high plinth. If the appliance
is to be fitted into a plinth greater in length than specified then the hole
shown in Figure 2 must be cut at least 22mm from one end.
If the supply cord on this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by a
special cord which is only available from an Authorised Service Agent, or your
supplier. If replacement of the supply cord is found to be necessary, the
following should be noted.
AIRFLOW
OPERATION
The square red switch on the left hand side switches the unit on and connects the mains supply to the fan motor (giving a cool airflow) and energises the heat control switches.
HEAT CONTROL
When the left switch on the right hand side is depressed it will illuminate
and the heat output is 1kW. When the right-hand switch is depressed it will
illuminate and the heat output is 2kW. When both switches are depressed the
heat output is 3kW.
The appliance is fitted with an electronic Safety Control (ES). This is a
safety device which switches off the heater if, for any reason, the appliance
overheats. The ES Controls can only be reset after the appliance has cooled
down.
In order to reset the ES Control proceed as follows:
- Switch off appliance and leave for approximately 5 minutes.
- Switch on appliance and ES Control will reset.
- Ensure that the appliance is functioning correctly. If the ES Control operates again, the appliance should be checked by a competent electrician.
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 16 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 should be
permanently connected to the electricity supply via a double pole switch
having 3 mm gap on each pole.
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.
