INTRO
Thank you for purchasing your new infrared heater. When used properly, it should provide you with plenty of eco-friendly, energy-saving infrared heat for many years to come. Please keep this manual safe for future reference. It contains lots of important information that will help you manage and look after your panel and ensure it lasts for as long as possible. Before doing anything with your panel, please carefully read the precautions on the following page. Failure to do so may result in injury, or the voiding of your warranty.

PRECAUTIONS

To prevent burns or injuries related to prolonged contact with the heating panel, children, those who suffer from sensitive skin, the elderly, the sick or those who are taking any medication that causes drowsiness should take extra care around the appliance.
Do not damage, destroy, change, bend, stretch, or press the power cord, otherwise, it may result in fire or electric shock.
Ensure that the usage voltage remains between 220-240V and 50Hz and that the power supply is grounded.
The heating panels will draw more current than small appliances when in operation. 180W, 350W, 580W, 700W & 900W panels will require a separate 5A socket, and 1200W panels will require a 6A socket.
Keep the heating panel away from flammable products to prevent the risk of fire.
Please ensure that there are no objects placed within 30cm of the front of the panel and 30cm of the sides of the panel.
Please ensure that the panel is not mounted directly to the ceiling unless you have a suspended ceiling. For all other ceiling installations, either a suspension kit with a minimum gap of 50mm between the panel and ceiling must be used, or a ceiling bracket.
Please do not jump or stand on the panel, or apply strong pressure to it.
Never cover the heater with any materials that retain heat well, such as towels, quilts carpets, etc.
Be sure to unplug the power cord from the mains if you need to clean the heating panel, and wait until it has completely cooled down. Please ensure that you use a dry cloth, and avoid using gasoline or Acetone on the appliance.

This infrared panel heater is designed to provide an efficient, comfortable, and healthy heating system for all domestic users and homeowners. This infrared panel heater can reduce air circulation and help create and maintain a clean, silent, and dust-free environment. All infrared panel heaters should be wall-mounted. If you would like to mount the panel on your ceiling, either use a suspension kit with a minimum 50mm gap, or a set of ceiling brackets or install it in a suspended ceiling. A wide range of panels are available in varying sizes, wattages, and frames.

DEVICE STRUCTURE

Most of our panels come with a premium FIR coating that helps maximize the performance of your heating. It can withstand temperatures of up to 200°C without yellowing.
The carbon crystal heating element will distribute clean and efficient infrared heat throughout your space.
The hanging bracket can be used to hang your panel on the wall, or used alongside your suspension kit or ceiling bracket.
The frame will be pre-fitted to your panel, providing a stylish finish.

You may need more than one panel to sufficiently warm your room. To calculate how many watts you will need, use the following formula. Length (m) x Width (m) x Height (m) = Volume (m3) For well-insulated properties: Volume (m3) x 25 = Wattage Requirement For moderately insulated properties: Volume (m3) x 30 = Wattage Requirement For poorly insulated properties: Volume (m3) x 35 = Wattage Requirement

Next, you can set the Off time for program 1 for Monday. Again, use ‘Up’ and ‘Down’ to adjust the hours and minutes respectively. Once you’re happy with the timer, press the ‘Set’ button once more.
Next, you’ll see the temperature flashing on the screen. You can now set the target temperature for the times you set in the previous steps. Use the ‘Up’ and ‘Down’ buttons to adjust this accordingly. Once you’re happy with the temperature setting, press ‘Set’ once more.
You can now repeat the previous steps to set the time and temperature for Program 2 for Monday.
After this, you can set the timer and temperature for programs 1 and 2 for each of the remaining days of the week.
Tips:
By default, the start and end times for each setting are set to 00:00, and the temperature is 15°C.
If you do not adjust the default on/off time of 00:00, then that program setting will be invalid/unused.
You can use this if you need less than 2 on/off timers throughout the day.
Any on/off timers you set for programs 1 and 2 should not overlap each other.
The off time should always be later than the on time, otherwise that program will be invalid.
Once your programs are set, your heater will switch on and off according to the timers, even if the remote is switched off. If you wish to switch your timers off, you can hold down the ‘Mode’ button to switch your timers on and off.

OPEN WINDOW MODE

Inside the remote is an open window detection function. This is designed to minimize your energy consumption by switching your IR Panel off when it detects an open window.
When the remote control detects a drop in temperature by 1.5°C or more within 3 minutes, it will switch the IR Panel off as having a heater on with an open window is incredibly inefficient.
When the remote control detects a rise in temperature by 1.5°C or more within 3 minutes, it will resume normal operation as a result of a closed window.
You can override the Open Window Mode by simply switching your heater back on using the ‘On/Off button.

UNPAIRING YOUR NXT GEN REMOTE
In some cases, you may want to unpair your remote from your NXT Gen IR Panel. Please follow the steps below to unpair your remote.

Hold the power button down on the remote for 5 seconds, or until the display on the remote disappears.
Turn the heater off at the mains, leaving the switch on the heater as it is.
Remove the batteries from the remote and wait for 10 minutes.
Turn the heater back on at the mains.
Follow the remote pairing process again.
If this does not work, try the above steps whilst leaving the heater on at the mains during the 10 minutes.

NOTES

Your date, time, and timer settings will be saved even after replacing the batteries.
Please use alkaline batteries in the remote.
If none of the buttons on the remote control are working, please try to replace the batteries first.
Please ensure you change the batteries once the battery icon on the remote begins to flash.
Do not cover the temperature sensor at the top of the remote control.
Keep the remote control out in the room where your heater is installed, and avoid putting it in a drawer, in your pocket, under a pillow, or anywhere else where the temperature sensor may be blocked, as this may result in the heater not functioning correctly.
If you will not be using the heater for a prolonged period, it is best to remove the batteries from the remote.

MAINTENANCE & SERVICING

This infrared heating panel requires no servicing and very little maintenance.
When cleaning your panel, you can use a damp cloth and gently wipe the surface of the panel.
Dismantling or attempting to repair the panel yourself should not be done under any circumstances, as this will immediately void your warranty.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Symptom	Cause/Solution
The heater will not turn on	Double-check that the heater is connected to a

power source, and

that there is no damage to the ﬂex cable.

Try connecting a working electrical appliance to the same socket to determine whether the circuit is working.
If the heater has a manual on/oﬀ switch, check that it is in the ‘on’

position.

If your heater utilizes a remote control, ensure that the batteries have

not run ﬂat by swapping in new batteries.

There is a strange smell coming from the heater| This is normal upon ﬁrst use, as the heating element burns oﬀ the

protective oils used to guard it during transit.

The heater is overheating| Switch the heater oﬀ at the mains and let it cool down completely. Switch the heater back on and if the problem persists, contact the retailer immediately.
The heater is overheating| If you are using a thermostat, this may be causing the issue. Either try a diﬀerent thermostat or contact your local electrician to investigate the symptom.
If your panel is ceiling-mounted, ensure that there is an adequate gap between the ceiling and the panel by lowering the suspension cable.
The heater is not warming the room up.| Your heater may not be the correct power for the room. Consult our wattage calculator located on every product page to determine the correct number of heaters for your room.
The heater is making a strange noise| This is normal upon ﬁrst use and can persist longer term to a lesser extent. The reason is that the heating element will expand slightly as it gets hotter, and then contract slightly when it cools.

retailer immediately.

I don’t know how to use a function on the NXT Gen remote| Please refer to page 13 for full details of the NXT Gen remote functionality.

When installing the panel on your ceiling, you must use a Suspension Kit and leave a space of at least 50mm between the ceiling and the panel, or use a Ceiling Bracket. Our panels can be installed on your wall in both portrait and landscape orientations.
Before drilling any holes or making any other permanent modifications to your home, please ensure that the panel(s) you have are sufficient for the room you’re installing them in. You can calculate your cubic space by multiplying the Length by the Width, and then multiplying the result by the Height of your room, all in Metres. This will give you the cubic capacity of your room in m3. Then, if your home is well insulated, multiply your cubic capacity by 25 to give you your required wattage. If your home is moderately insulated, multiply your cubic capacity by 30, and if your home is poorly insulated, multiply your cubic capacity by 35.
The above calculations are based on optimum conditions. If you feel your room or property does not meet optimum insulation, shape, dimensions, or anything else, please consult a sales agent before purchase.
Once installed, you may begin to notice dark marks appear on your wall and ceiling, and even on the heater itself. This is completely normal and happens with all heaters. It is the result of dust, dirt, and external gases staining surfaces in the vicinity of the heater as a result of the movement of air around the heater itself. This is nothing to be concerned about, and will not affect the operation of the heater.

DISPOSAL
Electrical appliances such as this infrared heater should not be disposed of with other household waste and should be recycled at special facilities. Check with your local authorities or retailer for advice concerning disposal and recycling.
