READ THIS FIRST:
This heater must be installed in accordance with the Building Regulations.
These may be obtained from OPSI or viewed and downloaded from
www.communities.gov.uk
following the link for Building Regulations.
This heater is designed for wall mounting and must be used with the warm air
vent facing downwards. This heater should not be used in any other orientation
and should not be used as a free-standing portable appliance.
ADVISORY: This heater must be installed at least 1.8m above the floor.
This heater must be installed so that switches and other controls (except the
pull cord) cannot be touched by a person in the bath or shower.
The mounting position should allow the free movement of air around the heater.
Obstructing the airflow could result in overheating.
This product is not intended to be used by children and persons with sensory,
physical, and/or mental impairments that would prevent them from using it
safely.
Small children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with this
appliance.
Switch off the mains before commencing installation and remove the appropriate
circuit fuse.
Suitable for indoor use only.
This product is suitable for installation on surfaces with normal flammability
e.g. wood, plasterboard, masonry. It is not suitable for use on highly
flammable surfaces (e.g. polystyrene, textiles).
Before making fixing hole(s), check that there are no obstructions hidden
beneath the mounting surface such as pipes or cables.
The chosen location of your new heater should allow for the product to be
securely mounted (e.g. to a firm wall) and safely connected to the mains
supply.
Do not site the heater directly beneath a mains outlet socket.
If the location of your new heater requires the provision of a new electrical
supply, the supply must conform with the requirements of the Building
Regulations.
This product is designed for permanent connection to fixed wiring: this should
be to a suitable ring circuit (protected with a 10 Amp MCB or fuse) or a fused
spur (with a 10 Amp fuse) via a fused connection unit. The supply must
incorporate a switch or other means of disconnection.
This product is not suitable for mounting within the bathroom zones 0, 1, or 2
– it can be installed outside of zones where the permanent connection to the
mains supply is made in accordance with the requirements of building and
wiring regulations.
If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
If installed in a bathroom, the supply circuit must be protected by a 30mA
RCD.
Make connections to the electrical supply in accordance with the following
code:
Live – Brown or Red • Neutral – Blue or Black
This product is double insulated, do not connect any part to Earth.
WARNING – To avoid overheating, do not cover the heater.
Never use the heater unattended when it is in use.
The heater is fitted with 2 stages of over-temperature protection in
addition to the temperature control adjustable thermostat: for protection
against brief excess of temperature, the heater has a resetting thermostatic
device; for longer periods of excess temperature or higher excess
temperatures, the heater is fitted with a one-shot the thermal fuse which
cannot be reset.
As you are making a fixed connection to the mains, you are advised at every
stage of your installation to double-check any electrical connections you have
made. After you have completed your installation there are electrical tests
that should be carried out: these tests are specified in the Wiring
Regulations (BS7671) referred to in the Building Regulations.
ADJUSTMENT:
- Switch off the main power and remove the fuse.
- Remove the two screws on the front of the case and remove the front cover.
