Wall Mounting Instructions

Please ensure your wall is capable
of holding the weight of this heater
and that the right screws are used
for your wall.

This unit can be mounted on any
wall in any room of the home. When
selecting a location, decide upon a
position that takes advantage of the
maximum volume of air.

CAUTION: Before
mounting the heater
to the wall please
ensure that all three
attachment points are
secure in either timber
or concrete. Do NOT
secure directly into
plaster. Please contact
a tradesman if you are
unsure.Please see the
Fig. 1 which illustrates
the points of contact.
Ensure that the heater
is at least 500mm from
the floor and corners of
the wall.

Before First Use

Remove your heater from its carton
and associated protective wrapping.
Unwind the cord to its full length and
remove any protective cardboard or
foam that may have been used to
minimize transportation damage.

How to Operate

The KPH200 can be either wall
mounted or used on the floor.
Relevant brackets and feet come
with the unit. For wall mounting
operation, follow instructions under
Wall Mounting Instructions.

Floor Use Instructions

1. Place the heater on a firm,

level surface in a stable upright
position and secure the supplied
feet with the screws provided.

2. Visually inspect the air inlet and

outlets to ensure no foreign
material is blocking these areas.

Securing the Heater Feet

• The heater has two plastic stands
or ‘feet’ that come with a set
of screws that you will need
to secure at the base of the
product. Locate the screws that
are positioned at the base of the
unit, approximately 5cm from
the far left and right sides of the
heating unit. Unscrew them, but
leave the centre screw in place.

• Clip the plastic feet into the two
perforations, located at the base
of the unit.

plastic stands with those in the
base of the heater. Re-attach the
screws to secure the plastic feet.

1. Locate the three brackets at the
back of the heater. There are
two brackets at the left and right
hand bottom corners, and one
situated at the top of the heater
in the centre.

2. As a general safety guide select
a suitable location to wall mount
the heater, approximately
500mm from any furniture either
side of the unit and 500mm from
any furniture placed in front of
the heater. The heater must be
mounted horizontally as per Fig. 1.

3. When selecting a location, make
sure the base of the heater is at
least 500mm from the floor and
the top of the heater is at least

1.5m from the ceiling to ensure
there is adequate air flow into the
air inlet.

4. Measure out and mark the
screw locations. Once you
are confident that the screw
locations are correct, drill suitable
size holes.

5. Take care with inserting the
screws into the holes you have
made, and then mount the
heater onto the screws.

6. Once the heater is mounted on
to the wall, screw in the locking
screw (the shortest screw) to
prevent the heater from being
accidentally dislodged from the
mounting bracket.

7. Visually inspect the air inlet
and outlet to ensure no foreign
material is blocking these areas.

CAUTION: Do not
mount the heater
below curtains and/or
other flammable items.

CAUTION: If the heater
is intended to be
used in a bathroom,
the heater is to be
installed so that
switches and other
controls cannot be
touched by a person
in the bath or shower.

1. Plug the cord into a 230-240V
electrical outlet. Be sure the
plug fits tightly, as a loose fit
will cause overheating and
damage the plug. To avoid an
electrical circuit overload, it is
recommended that no other
appliances are plugged into the
same circuit with your heater
when you switch the unit on.

2. There are two ON/OFF switches
located at the top left hand side
of the rear of the heating unit, with
4 settings.

- OFF

- Low (800W)

press the switch marked 800W
from OFF to ON.

4. To activate the MEDIUM heat,
setting, press the switch marked
1200W from OFF to ON.

5. To activate the HIGH heat setting,
press both the 800W & 1200W
switches from OFF to ON.

6. To turn the heater completely
off, return both of the OFF/ON
switches to the OFF position.
