OVERVIEW

Please read this guide carefully and retain it for future reference and maintenance. This appliance has been designed and manufactured to the highest international standards but care should be taken in order to achieve the best results and highest safety. This appliance also meets the requirements of EU Directive 2004/106/EC for EMC and 2009/125/EC Directive.

INSTALLATION

The heater must be wall-mounted at a minimum height of 1m from the floor. For the best performance, the heater should be mounted at 1.8m from the floor. When installing the heater, the minimum clearances (shown below) must be followed.

To install the heater, remove the 3 screws securing the front cover and remove the cover. Use the selector switch to select between 1kW or 2kW heat output. Mark the position of the 2 keyhole slots. Using suitable fixings, screw in 2 screws, leaving the heads 4mm from the wall. Hang the heater onto the screws and mark the position of the top hole. Remove the heater and install a suitable fixing for the final screw.
Feed the supply cord through the cable entry hole, hang the heater, and securely fasten all 3 screws. Use the cable clamp to secure the cord and connect the line connection to the terminal marked L, and the neutral to the terminal marked N. Reattach the front cover and insert supplied screw caps to hide the screws.

CONNECTION TO THE MAINS SUPPLY Electrical installation should be carried out by a competent installer in accordance with the latest edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations, (BS.7671), and any relevant Local Authority Bye-Laws. This heater must be permanently connected to the electricity supply via a double pole switch having a 3mm gap on each pole. There are no exceptions. 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 the fixed-wiring installation.
Note: When switched on for the first time the appliance may emit a slight smell. This is purely the evaporation of a fluid used in the manufacturing process.

CONTROLS

The DF2SL can be set for 1kW or 2kW heat output. This should be done on installation using the selector switch within the heater. The heater will work with any of Consort’s wireless controllers. A controller must be used or the heater will NOT work. (For more information refer to the controller’s user guide.) On the front of the heater, there is an indicator light. A green light indicates there is the power to the heater. The red light indicates heat is enabled. A slow flashing red light indicates the room has reached the target temperature. If the indicator light is flashing red rapidly and the heater is not responding to controls it has overheated, see section “overheating protection”. Located on the left-hand side of the unit is a variable thermostat ranging from 5-35ºC. There are markings on the thermostat. The single dot is equal to 5ºC and the four dots are equal to 35ºC. Most wireless controllers will also act as a thermostat. If the wireless thermostat is calling for heat, the thermostat on the heater is allowed switch on/off. If the wireless controller is calling for no heat the thermostat on the heater will not work. This is ideal for areas where the controller can’t measure the same temperature as the heaters. For more information on the functions of the wireless controllers refer to the specific user guide. If the thermostat on the heater is not required, it can be disabled on installation. To disable, simply remove the jumper on the circuit board within the heater. The jumper is located just below the terminal block.

IF YOUR HEATER DOES NOT WORK

Check that the light indicator is ON and power is available to the heater.
Check that the overheating protection has not operated. Follow the instructions given under the section headed ‘Overheating protection.
Check that the fuse in the fused connection unit has not blown. This can be done by replacing the fuse with another suitable fuse.
Should none of the above remedies work, then telephone the helpline number shown in these instructions (UK ONLY). Do not attempt to repair the heater.

OVERHEATING PROTECTION

The appliance is fitted with electronic overheating protection, thermally operated cut -out and thermal fuse. These are safety devices that switch the heater off if, for any reason, it overheats. The electronic protection and cut-out can only be reset after the appliance has cooled down. In order to reset the protection, proceed as follows:

Remove the cause of overheating and switch power off to the heater and leave for approximately 10 minutes. Switch the power back.
Ensure that the appliance is functioning correctly. If the thermal protection control operates again, it should be checked by a competent person.

The heater carries a ‘Do Not Cover’ symbol to warn the user that if the appliance is covered, there is a risk of overheating.

CLEANING

Always disconnect the heater from the mains before cleaning. The heater should not require any maintenance, but it is strongly advised that it is kept clean. An occasional wipe over with a soft cloth and using a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from apertures is all that should be necessary.
