IMPORTANT NOTES: It is important to read these instructions carefully and also note the information given on the heater itself.
As these particular instructions refer to the assembly and installation of a new heater, they should be retained by the installer; not left
behind for the user as this would invite the dismantling and servicing by unqualified persons. FOR THE USER, there is a separate
instruction leaflet explaining how the heater should best be operated. Please see that this leaflet is left with the heater for the user’s
purposes. A MEANS FOR DISCONNECTION IN ALL POLES MUST BE INCORPORATED IN THE FIXED WIRING IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE WIRING RULES, THE INSTALLATION SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN. CABLE HAVING A
MINIMUM ‘T’ RATING OF 85ºC MUST BE USED. Heaters forming part of a comprehensive space heating system should be wired with
their own separate circuit, if however, 1 or 2 heaters are installed as a starter system these may be connected to a 30 amp ring main
provided that the instructions below are observed, any further heaters installed must be connected by its own circuit. If connected to
a 30 amp ring circuit the total rating of heaters connected must not exceed 3kW, where the circuit supplies a kitchen, or 4kW, where
the circuit does not include a kitchen. The storage radiator is designed to run on cheap overnight electricity, therefore the means of
connecting the heater to the ring main should include a timer. These should be connected to the supply with 3 core heat resistant
cable, the size of which is dependant on heater loading i.e. loading up to 10 amps use 1mm², up to 13 amps use 1.5mm² and for
the larger heaters 2.5mm² cable. If installed in a bathroom the heater must not be accessible to a person using a bath, wash basin
etc., and must be controlled by a fused, double pole switch within 2 metres of the appliances. It is not recommended that a heater
installed in a bathroom should be connected to a ring main circuit. WARNINGS - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED - SPECIAL
ATTENTION MUST BE PAID TO THE SECURITY OF THE HEATER’S WALL FIXINGS. TO MAINTAIN STABILITY, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT
THE HEATER IS PLACED ON A LEVEL SURFACE AND CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID IRREGULAR SURFACES, SUCH AS MAY
RESULT FROM CARPETS OR TILED SURROUNDS PARTIALLY PROTRUDING UNDER THE HEATER. IF, DURING ANY REASSEMBLY
OF THE HEATER, A PART OF THE THERMAL INSULATION SHOWS DAMAGE OR DETERIORATION WHICH MAY IMPAIR SAFETY,
IT SHOULD BE REPLACED BY AN IDENTICAL PART.
WALL FIXING: The heater must ALWAYS be mounted against, and fixed to a wall as it will not stand up by itself. A detachable
bracket is provided for screwing to the wall, the heater is then placed in position and fixed to the bracket by a screw at each end.
The heater must never be unscrewed or moved from the wall bracket whilst it is loaded with bricks. THE HEATER IS VERY HEAVY
AND WILL BE DANGEROUS IF ITS WALL FIXING BECOMES INSECURE.
Solid Brick and Concrete Walls
No. 10 Rawlplug plastic inserts.
Drill hole of 8mm dia to a depth of
15mm greater than depth of the insert.
Panelled Wall, Paramount Board, Chipboard, Plasterboard, etc.
Check that the panel itself is adequately fixed to battens etc. Use Rawlplug M5 intersets; drill accurate 10mm dia holes in single skin plasterboard. One fixing should be in studwork.
Hollow concrete, Breeze Block and Thermolite Block Walls
RAWLPLUG ‘RAWLOK R6054R’. Some authorities suggest UNIFIX LB
