INSTALLATION

1. ENSURE THAT FIXING KIT HAS BEEN

LOCATED BEFORE DISPOSING OF PACKAGING. Remove the front panel by removing the three screws along its bottom edge. With hands positioned on each side of the panel, lift upwards to unhook the top edge whilst pressing down on the top panel with your thumbs. The panel can now be lifted clear and set to one side. Remove the packing pieces from the slots on the inner front (3 on the FXL18i and 4 on the FXL24i).

2. Remove the inner front panel by unscrewing the screws along its top and sides. As the front insulation is attached care must be taken when lifting this panel from the heater and placing it to one side. Remove the three inner guards by removing the screws along their bottom edges and sliding the guards up and off the base tray.

Please note the location of each guard.

3. CONNECTION OF THE MAINS CABLE

- Connect the restricted (E7) supply to the terminal block, marked “Storage Circuit”, having first passed the cable through a front cable clamp in the base. Connect the unrestricted (Peak) supply to the terminal block, marked “Fan/Boost Circuit”, having passed this cable through another cable clamp in the base. At this point, if desired, an external fan/ boost timer may be ﬁ tted to the heater by passing the two wires from the timer through the remaining cable clamp, and connecting them across the terminal block, marked “Timer”, having already removed the link ﬁ tted across this block at the factory.

IMPORTANT: When using an external fan/boost timer, the fan inhibitor must be disabled (see Section 4).

Connect the EARTH lead from both supplies to the terminal marked with the symbol
