When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and injury to
persons, including the following:
① Read all instructions before using this appliance.
② The wall bracket supplied with the appliance must be used.
③ WARNING: This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do
not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Keep combustible materials,
such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at
least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater.
④ Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or
near children or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating

Electrical Connection
Verify that the supply voltage is the same as that stated on
the heater (A.C supply only).
This heater is designed for use on a 208/240V 60Hz AC
single-phase supply. Connection requires a supply wire that
must consist of two wires plus ground and have a rating
capable of handling all loads on the circuit.
Make all relevant electrical connections within an installed
junction box and ensure all wiring meets all local electrical
and building codes. Where local code requires the
disconnection of all ungrounded supply lines, a double pole
isolating switch must be tted to facilitate isolation.
Connection to the heater should be made using the provided
tted cable clamp assembly at the back of the heater to meet
local code requirements.
WARNING: Always use a qualied and licensed
electrician for all wiring and electrical connections.
Improper wiring could lead to a re hazard.

Operation
MAX

‘x’
Switching the Heater On
The controls are located on the right hand side, on top of the
appliance. Lift ap to access the controls (Figure 3).
The button marked '
electronic thermostat. An indicator beside the '
' controls the electricity supply to the
' button
shows when the unit is powered on.
Figure 3
Setting Desired Temperature
Limiting the thermostat setting
Before wall mounting the product the installer may wish to
limit the heat selection slider movement for the operator. This
may be achieved by removing the two (2) plastic pins (refer
to 'x' in Figure 5) from the rear of the thermostat moulding
using pliers and inserting them in the preferred holes to limit
the slider movement.
Figure 5
The heater is tted with an adjustable thermostat enabling
the room temperature to be controlled by adjusting the slider
accordingly (Figure 4). The minimum setting ' ' represents
a room temperature of approximately 5oC (41oF) and may
be used for protection against frost. The 'MAX' setting
represents a room temperature of approximately 30oC. The '
' symbol glows when the elements are actually heating.
Figure 4
Turn on the heater using the '
' button and move the
thermostat slider to the desired position. When the room
temperature has reached the desired level, the power to the
elements will be reduced, the heater will then maintain the
room temperature at the chosen level.
!
NOTE: Should your heater fail to come on when the
thermostat slider is at a low setting, this may be due to
the room temperature being higher than the thermostat
setting.
Safety - Overheat protection
For your safety this appliance is tted with a thermal cut-out.
In the event that the product overheats for some reason, the
cut-out prevents excessive temperatures on the product by
cutting the power to the heater. Once the heater has cooled
down, it will reset automatically, it will continue to cycle on
and off automatically until the reason for overheating is
removed.
