• The heater must not be located immediately below a
power point. Power point should not be located at the back
of the heater. The power point needs to be located outside
the physical footprint of the heater to minimize heat build­up behind the heater.

• If the heater is to be mounted on an incline (eg. Vaulted
ceiling), ensure the power point located at that lowest point
of the heater.

7. Hang the heater on the brackets and firmly secure in
place with the mounting bracket locking plates by
tightening bolts.

NOTE:

 Depending on material and design of ceiling structural

elements, the heater must be secured with the correct
fasteners. The weight of the heater is up to 5.3Kg, the
installation location must be able to hold 5 times the
weight of the heater.

CONNECTION TO ELECTRIC MAINS:

• The heater is designed for connection to the single-phase
230-240V~ 50Hz electric mains equipped with an earth
wire.

• Before connection, make sure that specifications of the
electric mains at the connection point meet the single­phase 230-240V~ 50Hz voltage.

• Regarding the model IHGB/W12SR
In case of direct connection to the supply line, a bipolar
switch or a bipolar circuit breaker with contact opening
distance of at least 3mm must be fitted upstream from the
supply line. Contact an authorized service technician if you
are unsure if you have a switch or a circuit breaker installed
on the premises.

• The electric mains should be equipped with an automatic
circuit breaker with C curve type (slow blow fuse) and with
rated current not less than 10A (model 1500W) or 16A
(model 2200W). Contact an authorized service technician if
you are unsure if you have a circuit breaker installed on the
premises

SYMPTOM

CAUSE

Will not heat / No operation indicator

Check that power is connected and switched on.

Heater smells when first used.

This is caused by oil or dust left over from the manufacturing process and will
stop after a short time.

Faint smell for short periods after turning on
the heater.

This is normal and should stop after a short time.

Heater smells when turned on after periods
of no use.

Build-up of debris and dust on the heater, Switch the heater off and allow it
to cool down and then clean.

Clinking noises when heater is turned on and
after being turned off.

This is expansion and contraction noises of the heaters metal components
and is normal.

Poor heating performance.

Exposure to extreme ambient conditions such as high winds / excessively
cold temperatures can lower the heating performance of an outdoor
installation.
Unit is not installed in correct position, possibly too high or heater is too
small for recommended area.

There is a burning smell and or strange
sounds (other than normal expansion and
contraction noises) coming from the unit.

Turn off the heater, and contact the authorized service or seller.
When associated circuit breaker (safety,
ground) is thrown or a fuse is blown.

Turn off the heater and contact the authorized service or seller.

Poor heating performance.

Incorrectly sized installation. Contact the authorized service or seller.

Faulty heater element turns off the heater. Contact the authorized service or
seller.

Will not heat / No operation indicator.

Check that power is connected and switched on, if still faulty, turn off the
heater. Contact the authorized service or seller.
