G R O U N D I N G I N S T R U C T I ON S
For the 120 volt heater. The cord has 3-pin grounded plug.
For the 208 / 240 volt heater. The cord from the terminal box must be hard- wired.

I N T R O D U C T I O N

The Cosy heater produces radiant heat like the sun, warming people and objects rather than the air in between. It is mounted on an adjustable bracket that allows the heat to be directed exactly where it is required. Its attractive, lightweight design means that it is effective yet unobtrusive. The infrared radiant weatherproof heater is designed for indoor and outdoor use.
Please read the following instructions carefully before use. The safety of this heater is guaranteed only by its correct usage in accordance with these instructions, therefore they should be retained for future reference.

CAUTION

Before using this appliance:

1. Check that the voltage indicated on the units rating label corresponds to the main supply voltage.

2. Do not install the heaters less than the minimum height from the floor as specified below in the specification – Table. 1.

3. Ensure that the heater has been securely fastened in its final mounting position.

4. WARNING – This appliance must be grounded!

5. WARNING – Keep the main cord away from the body of the heater which will get hot during use.

6. If a socket outlet is used do not position the outlet immediately behind the heater.

7. Avoid the use of an extension cord with this product.

8. Do not cover or obstruct the heater while it is in use.

9. Do not insert any object through any slot or opening in the heater.

10. Do not use if a guard is not present.

11. WARNING – When replacing the emitter or cleaning the unit, ensure that the 3-pin 120 volt plug is removed from its socket outlet or if the hard-wired circuit is disconnected from the main supply.
    Note: always ensure that the emitter is cool before handling.

12. Do not handle the halogen emitter with bare hands. If it is inadvertently touched, remove finger marks with a soft cloth and methylated spirit or rubbing alcohol. Otherwise, the marks will burn into the quartz emitter during use causing premature heater failure.

13. The heater is not intended for use by young children and must be supervised by a responsible person at all times.

14. Always remove the 3-pin 120 volt plug on the 120-volt heater if it is not being used.

M O U N T I N G

CAUTION

Switch off/unplug the heater from the main supply when mounting or adjusting the heater position.

The heater can be mounted in a horizontal manner (Fig. A) or angled manner (Fig. D).

1. Securely fasten the header bracket to the mounting surface using the fixing holes in the bracket. Please refer to Table 1 for recommended positioning of the heater.
2. Fix in the required angular position by tightening the fixing bolt on the bracket at the rear of the heater.
3. The heater bracket can be used to adjust the direction of the heater up and down (see Fig. B) and side to side (see Fig. C). This is done by loosening the bolts fixing the
   heater to the bracket, and then retightening once the correct position is achieved.

CAUTION: When mounting the heater horizontally, do not position the heater at an angle more than 50° or less than 45° as shown in Fig. A.
CAUTION: The heater should be mounted with the minimum clearances adhered to. Please refer to Table 1 for the recommended positioning of the heater. Do not install
the heater in a corner!
CAUTION: When mounted the heater at an angle, ensure the back of the heater is parallel to the mounting surface (See Fig. D). The heater should always be angled downwards when mounting this way with the terminal box at the bottom of the heater – see Fig. D.
CAUTION: Always allow the heater to cool before attempting to reposition/move. Never attempt to move the heater while it is switched on!
CAUTION: Observe the minimum safe distance between the heater body and inflammable surfaces and objects when mounting (see table 1).

M AI N T E N AN C E

! NOTE: For replacement emitters or spare parts please contact your local distributor quoting model type and rating from rating label. It is very important that your replacement emitter is exactly the same as the one it was supplied with. Failure to fit the exact same type can cause the heater to prematurely fail.
CAUTION: Unplug/Switch off unit from the mains supply before replacing emitter or any maintenance procedure including cleaning.
CAUTION: Should dust or dirt appear on the reflector, it is recommended that the guard and emitter are removed and the reflector is wiped with a lint- free cloth before reassembling (see emitter replacement instructions).

R E P L AC I N G T H E E M I T T E R

CAUTION

Unplug/switch off from the mains power before any attempts are made to replace the emitter. Contact your distributor for the correct replacement quoting model type and rating from rating label. We recommend you read through the procedure fully before commencing work.

1. Ensure the heater and emitter are cool and the power supply is disconnected by removing the plug from the socket outlet or disconnect switch.

2. Remove one of the heater end plates by removing the three screws with a pozi-head screwdriver as shown in Fig. E.

3. The heater will now be free to slide off the back plate (Fig. F). Gently slide the heater body away from the open end as shown in Fig. G ensuring not to drop it as it becomes free from its mounting.

4. The back plate should now have the heater body removed from it (Fig. H) and can be placed on a safe, flat work surface to proceed with the emitter replacement.

5. Stand the heater on its open end and remove the other end plate (Fig. J).

6. Remove the four screws (Fig. K) from the terminal box and lift off the lid.

7. Remove the connector block retaining bridge by removing the screw and lifting it out. This will allow the connector block to be lifted out of its locating lugs to allow for
   better access when connecting the new emitter terminals. For now, though leave it in its locating lugs and unscrew the connector block screws as highlighted (Fig. L), and remove the white emitter wires so they are free (Fig. M).

8. From inside the heater body, gently pull the emitter wires through the sealing gasket so the emitter wires exit the terminal box and are free as shown below in Fig. N.

9. Turn the heater body over and slide the side reflectors out at each end and then slide the guard out of the heater by pushing it towards one of the ends where the endplates are removed (Fig. P). NOTE: The reflectors sit on top of the guard legs for refitting.

10. Pull the emitter wires through the two access holes so it is ready to be unclipped and removed from the heater (Fig. Q).

11. The emitter is held in at each end by spring clips that hold the emitters’ ceramic caps in the emitter holders. Pull the clips back (Fig. R) far enough to allow the ceramic caps to be lifted up (Fig. S) at both ends and remove the emitter from the heater.

12. The heater should now be broken down as shown in Fig. T. Ensure your new emitter wires are the same length and it’s fitted the same as the original.

13. Refit the new emitter in reverse order ensuring that no wires get trapped and all screws are fully tightened.
