FIXING ASSEMBLY
ENSURE THAT FIXING KIT AND FEET HAVE BEEN
LOCATED BEFORE DISPOSING OF PACKAGING.
1.
Fit the feet with the open end of the foot to the front
of the heater. Secure each foot using the two taptite
screws provided.
2.
2.
3.
Place the heater on its feet and in the desired position
against the wall. Ensure the heater is based on a fi rm
level surface at least 75mm from any end wall and at least
250mm below any shelf or similar projection. Cut away any
gripper rod or carpet which would prevent the heater sitting
fi rmly on the fl oor.
3.
Mark the position of the two outside corners of the
wall bracket with the heater pushed tight against the
wall. Remove the wall bracket from the heater by removing
the screw at each end. Place the heater to one side and
reposition the bracket against the wall using the corner marks
for alignment.
Four fi xing positions must be chosen for the 724N, three for
the 718N and two for the 712N. Mark the positions for the
fi xing holes - two at the extreme ends and the others spaced
evenly between them. Remove the bracket from the wall, drill
the holes in the positions marked, and insert suitable fi xings
previously described. Secure the wall bracket to the wall.
4.
4.
If mains connection is to be made from the left hand
side, at this point the mains lead must be secured to
the back of the heater using ties provided in the fi xing kit.
5.
5.
THE FOLLOWING MUST BE APPLIED WHEN
FIXING THE HEATER TO THE WALL BRACKET
i) If no skirting board is present secure the heater through
the wall bracket slots closest to the wall.
ii) If 100mm (4in.) skirting is present secure the heater
through the outer slots.
iii) If skirting taller than 150mm (6in.) is present this must
be reduced to 150mm (6in.) over the entire width of the
heater plus 25mm (1in.) at each end.
Do not fully tighten these screws until the bricks are loaded
into the heater as some settling of the heater may occur.
NOTE: NEVER REMOVE THESE SCREWS WITHOUT
FIRST UNLOADING THE HEATER.

13.
Replace the inner front complete with insulation by
locating its bottom edge behind the front lip of the chassis
and inserting retaining screws along the top and both sides.
14.
Check that the fl ap mechanism operates freely on its
hinges and that with the output control set to 1 the fl ap
is correctly seated in its closed position.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROL FUNCTIONS
Initially set the input to 4. If the heater does not maintain a satisfactory room
temperature the following day this setting should be increased. Conversely
if the room temperature is too high this setting should be reduced.
The input control should only require seasonal adjustments.
THE OUTPUT CONTROL
THE INPUT CONTROL
Most of the stored heat is radiated from the casing during the discharge
period. However, some of the heat is emitted through the grille at the top
of the heater and this additional heat (or boost) is regulated by the Output
Control.
With this set to 6 the boost begins in the early afternoon. Turning the control
towards 1 will progressively delay the commencement of the boost. At 3
the boost will start in the evening. Once set, the boost will repeat itself
automatically day after day.
If no boost is required e.g. when the room will be unoccupied for a long
period, set the Output Control to 1. With the control in this position, the
heater will take in less energy during the next charging up period.
CONVECTOR HEATER CONTROLS
The convector is selected by an on/off rocker switch which illuminates when
switched on ‘1’. With the switch on, the convector element shall be cycled
on and off by the room thermostat. With the switch off “0” the convector
will not run. The room thermostat knob is marked 1 to 5. The higher the
level at which the room temperature will be controlled.
To maintain the appearance of the heater wipe occasionally
with a dry cloth when the heater is cool.
Do not use abrasive powders of furniture polish.
Discoloration of wall finished can sometimes occur
immediately above storage heater due to the properties of
some paints and decorating materials or in the presence of
environmental impurities in the air (such as soot or incense
generated from the burning of candles, etc.)
85150 Issue 10 : 08/10
OPERATION
Your XMC(N) heater combines the economy of a storage heater
with the convenience of a convector heater.
The storage heater takes in energy, when electricity tariffs are
low and dissipates it when tariffs are normal.
The convector heater provides an instant boost on demand
from normal tariff electricity.
1. Ventilate rooms well during commissioning.
2. Do not move the heater in any way once installed without the services
of a competent electrician.
3. Do not cover the heater with clothing etc. at any time or position furniture
close to or against the heater.
4. Ensure a clearance of at least 150mm between heaters and
curtains.
5. Should your heater fail to operate either employ the services of a
competent electrician or Telephone 0845 600 5111.
ALSO REFER TO COVER PAGE
Set both the Input Control and the Output Control to 6 and leave
the heater for 48 hours. Following the commissioning period
adjust the controls as stated below.
The controls are located under the hinged fl ap at the top right hand corner
of the heater. To adjust the controls on the heater, use a coin and engage
it in the slots provided on the top surface of the knob.
