2.0 Installation
l Before proceeding with the installation, the heating system
design must be considered and the unit correctly sized to
meet the heat loss requirements of the room.
l Before proceeding with the installation, unpack the carton
contents and check against the checklist below:
1. KICKSPACE
®
unit.
2. Flexible hoses including isolating valves (1 pair).
3. Instruction manual.
4. Warranty card.
5. Grille.
6. Screw fixing kit (with grille).
l This MYSON KICKSPACE
®
fan convector is designed for
installation in the cavity beneath kitchen cupboards on the
vacant floor space, or other similar locations.
l For KICKSPACE
®
500 DUO a minimum of 25mm clear
headroom is required above the top of the KICKSPACE
®
when
fitted.
l The unit should be mounted on a clean and level floor area
under the cupboard base.
l KICKSPACE
®
500 DUO floor mounting (see Fig. 1a) - The
KICKSPACE
®
is normally fitted directly onto the floor and the
base of the unit is fitted with four mounting feet.
l KICKSPACE
®
500 DUO plinth mounting (see Fig. 1b) -
• As an alternative to floor mounting the unit may be fitted
into the plinth.
• A suitable support must be securely fitted to the floor.
• The top of the support must be level with the lower edge of
the cut-out when fitted.
l Decide the position of the KICKSPACE
®
, mark out and cut the
plinth to the dimensions using table on page 6.
l Complete connection to the central heating system according
to Section 3, Water Connection.
l Position the KICKSPACE
®
under the cupboard in the required
location, with the front edge just behind the line of the plinth.
l Replace the plinth and bring the KICKSPACE
®
forward into
the opening so the front edge projects approximately 10mm
through the plinth.
l KICKSPACE
®
DUO is fitted with a transit cover to protect the
electric element and to minimise risk of electric shock prior to
the grille being fitted. The cover must only be removed with
the electrical supply switched off immediately prior to fitting
of the grille.
l Align the grille and secure it to the unit with two screws
supplied (use the shorter screws). (See Fig. 2).
l Secure the unit/grille to the plinth with two screws supplied
(use the longer screws). (See Fig. 2).
l Complete the electrical installation, switch on and test the
KICKSPACE
®
(see Fig. 3).
l When installed in a kitchen consideration should be given to
storage of perishable goods in the cupboard above.
l No rear access to the unit shall be available after installation.
3.0 Water Connection
l The KICKSPACE®should only be used on closed circulation,
two pipe, pump assisted central heating systems.
l For optimum fan convector heating performance the system
must be capable of providing sufficient hot water through the
heat exchanger. This means that:
1. The minimum pipe size from boiler to fan convector must
be at least 15mm. Microbore pipe MUST NOT be used.
2. Where the unit is fitted on to a system with other emitters
a separate circuit for the fan convector should be
considered to provide adequate water flow.
3. The system water temperature on the return of the
KICKSPACE
®
must be above 43°C for the fan to switch on.
4. This unit is NOT suitable for one-pipe systems.
5. Optimum performance will require effective balancing of
the whole system.
6. This unit must not be used to replace a radiator in an
existing system unless an adequate flow of water can be
guaranteed.
l Connect valve ends of the flexible pipes to the KICKSPACE
®
.
Note: The direction of the arrows on the valves are not
significant in this application (see Fig. 4).
l Open valves fully, check pipe connections for leaks and vent
the heat exchanger. A vent screw is provided to vent the heat
exchanger.
Pipework must be positioned correctly to ensure
flexible hoses are not kinked when installed
(see Figs. 5a & 5b). Only use the hose sets
supplied with this unit. Do not use old or
alternative hose sets.
CAUTION: Some parts of this product can
become very hot and cause burns. Particular
attention has to be given where children and
vulnerable people are present.

cord.
l If the supply cord to KICKSPACE
®
500 DUO is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similar qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
®
500 DUO models must be earthed.
KICKSPACE®500 DUOKICKSPACE
KICKSPACE®may have poor performance/cycle if a low water
temperature/flow rate is supplied, please refer to your installer as
this could be from the following:
• Unit incorrectly sized for heat loss of room
• Lack of flow to KICKSPACE
®
from heating system
• Pipe sizes/pump sized incorrectly
• System incorrectly balanced
Fan not working in
heating mode
Possible Causes
Unit switched off
Room thermostat not calling for heat
Unit not switched on at fused spur
Fuse blown at fused spur
Unit isolating valves shut
Water temperature of
KICKSPACE
®
below 43°C
Problem Remedy
Turn on
Turn up room thermostat
Switch on at spur
Replace fuse
Open valves
Ensure boiler, pump and other central
heating equipment is working correctly,
if not contact your installer
Note: Operation of fan can be checked by
switching to summer setting
If the fan convector is still faulty after checking the above, call your installer.
Once installed this fan convector becomes an integral part of a
complete heating system that includes boiler, pump, other
emitters such as radiators and fan convectors, and a number of
heating controls, dependent on system complexity. An apparent
problem with this unit may be the result of system controls being
incorrectly set and can be solved easily without calling out your
installer. Before calling your installer, please carry out the checks
listed below.

Heating mode – Electric
The KICKSPACE®500 DUO incorporates a 1 kW electric heating
element to provide heating when the central heating is not in
operation. The electric element is controlled independently but
cannot be used simultaneously with the central heating.
• Set the fan only/off/heating switch to heating
• Set the system selector switch to position I
• Set the fan speed switch to position I
• The unit will now run on low fan speed
The element will not activate if the system water temperature on the
return of the KICKSPACE
®
is above 40°C.
In electric mode at low speed the air temperature will feel warmer
than at high speed.
Fan Only Mode
If required, the KICKSPACE®can be used in summer for air
circulation without heat.
• Set the fan only/off/heating switch to fan only
• Adjust fan speed to required setting
