Installing your Appliance

Before using this appliance, it must be wall mounted.
NOTE: Your Goldair Ceramic Wall Heater should be installed with at least 1.8m clearance from the floor at least 300mm clearance from the ceiling and 200mm clearance from any other surrounding parts including other appliances, side walls, shelves, and soft furnishings.
NOTE: Do not run the power cord behind the heater.
WALL-MOUNTED HEATERS ARE ONLY TO BE MOUNTED ON HEAT-RESISTANT WALLS THAT COMPLY WITH CURRENT AS/NZS SPECIFICATIONS & BUILDING REGULATIONS

Always choose a safe location for the heater, keeping in mind the safety precautions outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the unit before use.
CAUTION: Do not mount directly under or over an electrical power socket. It is recommended to install the heater to the side of the power socket. The cord length is 1.5m, an electrician may be required to install a power socket nearer to the appliance.
LOCATION
The heater should be placed with a minimum distance of 1 meter between the unit and flammable objects such as curtains, paintings, or other materials that may pose a fire risk.
Installation of the heater on the wall MUST BE 1.8m above the floor to the bottom of the heater, 300mm from the ceiling to the top of the heater, and 200mm away from the closest side walls.

INSTALLATION

• Measure the distance between the mounting holes on the back of the appliance and then mark the wall at the measured distance. Ensure that the marks you make are level.
•  Drill holes to the same diameter as the wall plugs.
• Place the wall plugs into the hole in the wall and then fix two screws into the wall plugs.
• Keep the heads of the screws out approximately 10mm.
• Now hang the heater on screws and slide the heater across to the right and then down, locking the heater to the screws in the wall.

Operating Your Heater

WARNING: In order to avoid overheating or fire, do not cover the heater.
WARNING: Keep all objects at least 1 meter from the front and sides of the appliance.
WARNING: Do not use this heater with a programmer, separate timer, remote-control system, or any other device that switches the heater on automatically, since a fire risk exists if the heater is covered or positioned incorrectly.
WARNING: Never leave this heater unattended when in use. Ensure the heater is on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Once the heater is in a safe operating position and all switches are in the off position, insert the power plug into the main outlet and switch it on.
CAUTION: Ensure the power cord is not tight because if pulled it may partially pull the plug from the socket. A partially inserted plug will overheat the plug and socket and could result in fire.
Note: When the appliance is turned on for the first time, it may release a slight odor or smoke. This odor or smoke is a normal occurrence caused by the initial heating of the internal heating elements and should not occur again.
