at the top of the heater or the air inlet slots in the base of
the heater.

The heater carries the Warning symbol indicating
that it must not be covered.

WARNING – THE SURFACES OF THIS HEATER CAN BE HOT.

Note that due care and consideration must be taken when
using this heater in series with a thermal control, a
program controller, a timer or any other device that

General

This appliance is designed for wall mounting on the wall brackets
supplied. It should only be operated when in the upright position as
shown.
All models are splashproof to IP24 standard.
Before connecting the heater check that the supply voltage is the
same as that stated on the heater.

IMPORTANT: THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE READ CAREFULL Y AND RET AINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

Wall Mounting

IMPORTANT – The wall brackets supplied with the appliance must

be used. The heater should be positioned observing the minimum
clearances stated around the heater - see Fig. 1.

DO NOT locate the heater immediately below a fixed socket outlet or
connection box.

1. Remove wall mounting bracket from the back of the heater by
depressing the spring latch at the top of each bracket - see Fig. 2.

2. Fix the wall bracket securely to the wall through the four screw
holes provided.

3. Present the heater to the wall bracket, and engage lower slots
in the back with bracket.

4. Raise the heater to upright position and push the heater onto
brackets to engage top latch.

Operation

Switching On the Heater (see Fig. 3)

The button marked ‘ ’ controls the electricity supply to the electronic
thermostat. An indicator beside the ‘ ’ button shows when the unit

is powered ‘ON’.

Setting Desired Temperature (see Fig. 3)

The heater is fitted with an adjustable thermostat enabling the room
temperature to be controlled by adjusting the slider accordingly. The

min setting ‘ ’ represents a room temperature of approximately 50C
and may be used for protection against frost. The ‘MAX’ setting
represents a room temperature of approximately 230C. The ‘ ’ symbol

glows when the elements are actually heating.
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.

Runback timer and operating the unit

The runback time can be cancelled by pressing the button on the
timer again. The neon indicator will go out and the heater remains in
set back.

The heater will operate at a maximum thermostat setting of 23°C for
the preset runback time of 2 hours. After this time has expired, the
heater will revert back to operating at the setback temperature (preset
at 16-18°C) until the button is pressed again, thus always maintaining
a base level of temperature in the room.

If the heater remains uninterrupted at the setback temperature for 48
hours, the timer automatically assumes the room is unoccupied and
reverts to its Frost Protection setting (5°C) until such time that the
runback timer is activated again by pressing the button.

Safety - Overheat protection

For your safety this appliance is fitted 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.

Cleaning

WARNING – ALW A YS DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE CLEANING THE HEATER.

Before commencing cleaning, unplug the heater and allow it to cool.
Disconnect the electricity supply to the appliance.

The outside can be cleaned by wiping it over with a soft damp cloth

Energy Saving Tips

The energy we use to heat, light and power our homes contributes
over a quarter of the UK’s carbon emissions, the principle contributor
to climate change.

Around half the energy used in the home is for heating and hot
water, so using your heating system efficiently will not only help the
environment, but also save you money!

Energy efficiency tips for heating and hot water

1. Don’t set the temperature too high…

By reducing the thermostat setting by just 1ºC can reduce your
energy use by as much as 10%. And if you’re going away for the
winter, leave the thermostat on the frost protection setting to provide
protection from freezing at a minimum cost.

2. Use it where you need it…

Set the appropriate temperature on your heaters for the room they
are in; for example, leave the thermostat on a heater in a spare
bedroom on a lower setting.

3. Use it when you need it…

Use heaters fitted with timers or linked to central controllers to turn
the heating on only when you need it and automatically switch it off
when you don’t.

4. Curtains…

Close your curtains at dusk to stop heat escaping through the
windows.

5. Windows…

Nearly 25% of heat loss can occur through poorly insulated frames
and single glazing. If you can’t afford to double glaze all your
windows, go for the rooms you heat most.

6. Treat your hot water tank...give it a jacket

An insulating jacket for hot water tanks only costs a few pounds
and pays for itself within months. Fit one that’s at least 75mm (3")
thick and you could save £10-£15 a year.

7. Water …

Use a shower if you have one to save time, money and water.
Don’t set the thermostat too high on your water heater - 60oC/140oF

is usually adequate for bathing and washing.
Put the plug in when running hot water in your sink - leaving hot taps

running is both wasteful and expensive.
Ensure dripping taps are repaired quickly. In just one day, you could

waste enough water to fill a bath.

Other Energy Saving Tips for Around the Home

1. Lights

Turn off lights whenever you leave a room for more than ten minutes.
Use low-energy bulbs wherever you can as they use less than a

quarter of the electricity used by ordinary light bulbs and last ten
times longer!

2. Cooking

Use the right size pan for the food and cooker hob.
Keep saucepan lids on - this enables you to turn down the heat.
Boil water for cooking in a kettle.
