2. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

The installation should always be carried out by a qualified

electrician or a competent person in accordance with the

standards HD 384 CENELEC for Europe, or international IEC
60346-7-708 1988. The energy supply must be done through a prop­erly grounded socket and the impedance of the electrical network
must be less than 0.3 ohm.

In case of directly connection to supply line an overvoltage category
III bipolar circuit breaker with contact opening distance of at least 3
mm must be fitted upstream from the supply line.

Be careful to connect the heater to a supply line protected by 16 A
fuses not quick-acting type.

• The heaters should always be installed horizontally only using the

mounting brackets provided. This ensures correct positioning and
adequate clearance.

• A minimum air gap of 40 cm should always be allowed between

the top of the heater and a ceiling or roof. The appliance should be
60 cm far from the walls (fig.1).

• A safety distance of not less than 100 cm should always be left in

front of the FIORE heaters or too near.

• This unit should be mounted at a minimum of 180 cm above ground

level (fig.1). If installed in a toilet, the height should be 225 cm in

10

zone 1 and zone 2; in zone 3 the minimum above ground level is
180 cm, according with the rules of each Country.

• Be sure that the heater is not facing the ceiling or inflammable

substances.

• The appliance must not be located neither directly below, nor in

front of a socket-outlet.

• The heater must be installed so as to prevent that the switches can

be touched from those who are in the shower.

• Ensure that there is no possibility of inflammable material, com-

bustible material or curtains coming into contact with the heater,
or lie near the heater.

• Heaters should not be installed in areas where hazardous vapours

may be present. Defined in BS5345.

• The heaters are fitted with safety guards. These are intended only

to stop large objects from hitting the emitters. On no account
should the heater be operated with the guard removed.

• For consumer use the heaters are fitted with high temperaure sili-

cone rubber flexible cable (H05 RN-F) conforming to BS 6500.

• The models for professional use, that are marked with a “P” in the

code, do not have the power cord and the switch. For professional
installation, cabling of the same specification should be selected.

• The product is in class I and IP65, wich is the protection rate for

the units to be used even outdoor. For keeping the protection rate
of the appliance, the connection of the appliance with the power
supply must be done by means of a minimum IP65 system, as per
the standards HD 384 CENELEC for Europe, or international IEC
60346-7-708 1988.

• Before pressing the switch, seize firmly the grip and avoid to touch

the metal parts.

3. LOCATION

The Fiore range of heaters is deliberately designed to be very flexible
in the choice of position. There are three basic options:

• A wall mounting bracket version with a specifically designed

fitting for wall attachment (768M). Before drilling the holes for the
dowels, be sure that the wall is solid and that you are far from wa­ter tubes or electrical wires. Apply the drilling template on the wall
