Potential dangers can arise when the device switches on 10.
automatically, e.g. devices which have been covered or
blocked by objects since they were last used can cause
re.
The outer surfaces of the device, and in particular the air 11.
outlet grid, become hot during operation.
Do not place aerosols or other containers susceptible to 12.
heat in the direct air ow of the unit.
Do not cover the heater. To prevent overheating and 13.
possible re, do not place material or garments on the
heater, or obstruct the air inlet or outlet grille.

Installation Instructions
WARNING: Do not install the heater immediately below a
xed socket outlet.
WARNING: If installing in a bathroom, heater must not
be installed in such a location that a person using a bath or
shower can reach the switches and other controls.
See Figure 1 for dimensions of the heater.
The heater must only be installed and operated on a
vertical wall as shown in Figure 2. Clearance from any
vertical surface must be no less than one (1) inch (25 mm),
clearance from any horizontal surface must be no less than
9¼ inches (230 mm) to the bottom of the heater and 12
inches (300 mm) to the top.
In addition, a minimum clearance of three (3) feet (900
mm) between inammable objects e.g. curtains, towels or
heat-sensitive plastics, and the front of the unit must be
maintained.

Electrical Connection
Verify that the supply voltage is the same as that stated on
the heater (AC 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.

The heater is supplied with a wall mount bracket, three 1.
(3) screws with wall plugs, and a cable clamp assembly.
Other or supplemental hardware should be used as
needed and as appropriate for the type of wall being
mounted to.
Unlock the wall 2.

and remove from
the device.
Position wall 3.
bracket on wall,
and mark desired
position through
bracket holes.
Drill mounting holes 4.
for the wall bracket
and insert the wall
plugs.
Align the wall 5.
bracket and rmly
screw it onto the
wall.
Remove the large 6.
Phillips screw from
back of heater
holding the cable clamp in place (Figure 4). Set screw
and clamp plate aside.
Remove the smaller Phillips screw and larger metal plate 7.
to gain access to the heater’s wiring (Figure 4).
Make the L1 and L2 connections from power supply to the 8.
wires within the heater (wires will be labeled), using the
supplied wire connectors.
Connect ground wire from power supply to Ground Screw 9.
(Figure 4).
Reattach the large metal plate and screw removed in step 10.
2 allowing the cable to feed through.
Run cable over the large plate and clamp in place with the 11.
clamp plate and screw removed in step 1.
Align slots in back of heater with tabs on wall mount 12.
bracket and hang the device on the wall mount bracket.
Pivot down the heater and push into place (Figure 3-B).13.
Ensure that when in use, the airow is not obstructed.14.

Operation
Thermostat
The EF12 model is tted with an adjustable thermostat
allowing the room temperature to be controlled by adjusting
the setting accordingly. The thermostat has a minimum
setting, which can be used as a frost protection setting.
Provided that the controls are set to a heating function, the
heater will come on when the
surrounding temperature falls
to approximately 5˚ C (41˚ F).
Turn the thermostat knob
(Figure 5) to the highest position
to warm the room rapidly. When
the room temperature has
reached the desired level, turn
the thermostat knob back slowly
until the thermostat just clicks off. The heater will then
maintain the room temperature at the chosen level.
Should your heater fail to come on when the thermostat is at
a low setting, this may be due to the room temperature being
higher than the thermostat setting.
60-minute Timer
The EF12 model incorporates
a 60 minute delay timer and
thermostat. With the timer set
at ‘0’ the heater will operate at
1kW (on a 240 V supply) or
0.75kW (on a 208 V supply)
and low fan speed under
the control of the thermostat.
With the Timer in operation the heater will output 2kW (on
a 240 V supply) or 1.5kW (on a 208 V supply) and high fan
speed without thermostatic control.
Set the timer by turning the control knob clockwise until the
required operating time is indicated opposite the mark as
shown in Figure 6. The heater will operate at 2kW output (on
240 V supply) or 1.5kW (on 208 V supply) for the set period,
after which the output will reduce to 1 kW (on 240 V supply)
or 0.75kW (on 208 V supply). The timer setting may be
overridden at any time by returning the knob to ‘0’.
Protection Against Overheating
A thermal cutout will switch off the heater if for any reason
it overheats. Should the cutout operate, disconnect heater
from power supply and determine the reason for overheating.
Resolve the reason for overheating before attempting to use
the heater again. To reset the heater it is necessary to switch
off the power to the heater for several minutes.
Faults
If the heater does not give off heat, check the following
points:
• Has the thermostat been set to the desired temperature?
• Has the overheat protection been triggered? See
Protection Against Overheating section.
• Is the fuse in the fuse box switched on?
