FEATURES
WALL MOUNTING
The heater should only be used wall mounted and in proper working condition.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT LOCATON:
- Do not place the heater just below a plug.
- The heater must be installed at least 1.8 metre above the floor.
- The heater must be installed at least 0.3 metre away from the ceiling and 0.5 metres away from
adjacent wall.
- If the heater is installed in a bathroom, the switches and control cannot be touched or within reach
by user in the meter way from the bathtub/ shower area.
- Do not install the heater so that it will blow hot air directly on walls or adjacent objects.
- Avoid installation behind a door.
- Position the heater according to the spacing requirement indicated in Figure 2 below.
DRILLING HOLES & MOUNTING
- Loosen and remove the screw on top and bottom of the wall mount (See Figure 3A & 3B). Take out
the wall mount cover from above of the heater. (See Figure 3B).
- When the proper location is chosen, unfold the paper drilling measured by product. Place the paper
drilling measure according to the height requirement from the floor; i.e. at least 1.8m from the floor
and at least 0.32m away from the ceiling. (See Figure 3C).
- Four holes on the paper measure have been punched which locate the drilling holes for the wall
mount. Mark a cross in the centre of the hole for more precise drilling. (See Figure 3C).
- Now take away the paper measure, then drill four holes on the cross using a drill diameter of 8mm.
- Insert the four plastic pegs provided into the holes (See Figure 3D).
- Hold tight to the wall mount and orient the heater such that the grille faces towards you. Swing the
heater all the way down. Fix the wall mount and heater to the wall by applying two supplied screws
through two holes on top of the wall mount using a screw driver. (See Figure 3E). It is recommended
to use shorter screwdriver in order to get into the space of the wall mount structure more easily.
- Swing the heater on the wall all the way up, and then tighten with two screws at the bottom of the
wall mount. Now the heater is securely fixed to the wall. (See figure 3F).
- Swing the heater to the mid way of its travel. Replace the wall mount cover from the top.
- Fasten the cover with two screws.
IMPORTANT: It is important especially during the assembly, to be careful not to touch the heating elements
as this could leave spots; which would diminish the thermal radiation. After the heater is installed, the supply
cord must not contact the metal enclosure when used.
OPERATION
Unwind all the power cord, and remove all packaged material. Then connect the heater to a power source of
the same voltage, frequency and rating as indicated on the product rating plate before switch on.
