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.

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.

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.
