Safety Information
When using any electrical appliance, safety precautions should always
be observed. Read these instructions carefully and retain for future
reference.
•When used by, or near, young children or infirm persons, close
supervision is necessary. Young children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
•Do NOT use this appliance other than for its intended use.
•Use this appliance only with the voltage specified on rating label.
•Do NOT touch hot surfaces or moving parts.
•Do NOT cover the grilles or place any object or material up against
the unit, as this may block entry or exhaust of airflow.
•Do NOT probe any opening to remove fluff. To ensure trouble-free
performance it is recommended that on a regular basis the unit be
isolated from the power supply and a vacuum cleaner used to
remove dust and fluff from the inlet and outlet grilles.
•Do NOT allow the supply cord to come into contact with heated
surfaces during operation.
•Regulations require that electrical work be carried out by
authorised persons. For your own safety and that of others, ensure
this is done.
•If the supply cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced by a
SKOPE authorised service agent, or similarly qualified person, in
order to avoid a hazard.
•For service, contact your nearest authorised service agent.
Caution:
If the heater is used on the Freeze Guard setting or operated via a
timer, ensure the heater is not obstructed in any way by furniture or
drapes etc. Ensure the heater can operate safely, should the heater
switch on when the ambient temperature drops, or a timer activates the
heater.
See Control Functions (page 5) for more information on how the
Freeze Guard setting works.

SKOPE Surface and Recessed Wall Fan Heater
Installation and Operating Instructions
Basic Operation
Air is drawn into the heater through the top inlet by a tangential fan,
blown over heating elements and then blown out through the bottom
louvred grille into the room.
The heater is controlled by an electronic controller, incorporating an
electronic thermostat. This controller enables the fan to operate, or
enables fan-forced heat which can be thermostatically controlled.
•To start or stop the heater, press the POWERbutton.
To set the thermostat:
To set the electronic thermostat at the required setting, press the
selector buttons as follows:
•To DECREASE the temperature setting, press thebutton.
•To INCREASE the temperature setting, press thebutton.
The temperature indicators above the selector buttons will be lit to
indicate the temperature setting. When two adjacent red indicators are
lit, this indicates the temperature setting selected is between two
settings.
When only the first red temperature indicator is lit, the heater will run on
continuous LOW heat. When only the last red temperature indicator is
lit, the heater will run on continuous HIGH heat.
Operation Modes
Your SKOPE heater has two selectable modes of operation:
1. Normal Mode: This is the default factory mode. In this mode the
heater will operate as a conventional heater with no timer
functionality.
2. 3-Hour Timer Mode: In this mode the heater works on a 3-hour
countdown timer that shuts the heater off after 3 hours of
operation (see page 10 for details). The Freeze Guard function
will still operate normally, with no time restriction, even if the 3Hour Timer mode is enabled.

Installation and Operating Instructions
Surface Mounted Models: 989E, 990E
Installation Instructions
This appliance MUST be installed in accordance with relevant wiring
rules and regulations which cover installation of appliances and
accessories in damp situations such as bathrooms, showers, laundries
and other areas with fixed water containers (in Australia and New
Zealand - AS/NZS 3000:2000 Wiring Rules).
IMPORTANT: The heater must not be located immediately below a
socket outlet. A suitable disconnection device (acting in all active
supplies) is required to be incorporated in the fixed supply wiring.
The heater must be mounted minimum distances of 200mm from floor
level and 300mm from any adjacent wall (see the installation diagram
on page 7). The heater should be mounted on the wall in such a
location that it will not create a draft to anyone sitting in the room.
If the heater is to be permanently wired, provision should be made for
connection to mains power supply. Remove the metal knockout in the
back of heater, to allow for cable entry, or use the hole at the bottom of
the heater. Cable entry position on the wall, relative to heater fixing
holes, is shown in the installation diagram on page 7. To fix the heater
to the wall, follow the instructions below:
1.Remove the hinged front panel from the heater by unscrewing
the two screws at the top of the front panel. The hinged front
panel may be removed for ease of installation.
2.Attach the heater to the wall by screwing the four fixing screws
(provided) through mounting holes on the back of the heater. At
least two of the fixing screws should be attached to a wall stud.
Alternatively toggle bolts (not provided) could be used where stud
centres are inconvenient. For fixing hole centres, see the
installation diagram on page 7.
3.Connect mains wiring to the terminal block and refit the hinged
front panel. Following installation or a period of non-use, in order
to free up the lubricant, operate the appliance on FAN ONLY
setting for approximately five minutes before using the heat
settings.

Installation Instructions
This appliance MUST be installed in accordance with relevant wiring
rules and regulations which cover installation of appliances and
accessories in damp situations such as bathrooms, showers, laundries
and other areas with fixed water containers (in Australia and New
Zealand - AS/NZS 3000:2000 Wiring Rules).
IMPORTANT: The heater must not be located immediately below a
socket outlet. A suitable disconnection device (acting in all active
supplies) is required to be incorporated in the fixed supply wiring.
The recessed model wall fan heaters are designed to be permanently
wired and recessed into the wall. To install the heater, follow the
instructions below:
1.Cut a hole in the wall. The positioning and hole dimensions are
shown in the installation diagram on page 9. The minimum
required height from the floor to the base of the heater and the
distance from any adjacent wall is 300mm. The hole must be
between wall studs.
2.Line top and bottom of the hole with Gibraltar board or hardboard,
allowing for the mains power supply cable entry through the top
of the heater. If the cutout is not to the recommended size, the
wall studs may need to be packed out with timber to provide firm
fixing surfaces.
3.Remove two screws from the top of the hinged front panel. This
will allow the front panel to be tilted down and if necessary can be
removed for ease of installation.
4.To allow for power supply cable entry, remove one of the metal
knockouts on either the top or bottom of the heater.
5.Fit the heater body into the hole by screwing four fixing screws
into the sides of the hole (screws provided).
6.Connect mains wiring to the terminal block and refit front panel.
7.Following installation or a period of non-use, in order to free up
the lubricant, operate the appliance on FAN ONLY setting for
approximately five minutes before using the heat settings.

Installation and Operating Instructions
3-Hour Timer Mode
In this mode the heater works on a 3-hour countdown timer that shuts
the heater off after 3 hours of operation. Once the heater is operating,
the thermostat can then be set (see page 4 on how to set the
thermostat). To restart the timer at any time, simply turn the heater off
and on again. The heater starts counting down from the time the heater
is turned on.
To check which mode is enabled:
1.Disconnect the heater from the power supply at the wall socket or
isolating switch.
2.Press and hold down both theandbuttons, then
reconnect to the power supply.
3.Release both buttons. The heater will emit one or two short
beeps, followed by one slightly longer beep. The number of short
beeps indicates the operating mode:
• One short beep = Normal Mode
• Two short beeps = 3-Hour Timer Mode
4.Press the POWERbutton and the heater will operate.
To change the operating mode:
1.Follow steps 1 and 2 above.
2.Release both buttons and quickly press the button TWICE
to select 3-Hour Timer Mode or ONCE to change back to Normal
Mode. You must complete this before the longer beep sounds
(i.e. within one second of releasing the buttons) or the change will
not occur and the controller will enter calibration mode. Should
this happen, disconnect the power supply and start again.
3.Press the POWERbutton and the heater will operate.
