necessary for a suitable electrical socket to be located within this distance and be easily accessible. This appliance is designed to
be wall hung, using the wall fixtures/fixings provided. DO NOT recess any part of appliance into the wall. This appliance is
suitable for installation in static holiday/park homes.

5.0 COMPONENT CHECKLIST
QUANTITY DESCRIPTION
1 Wall heater
1 Decorative fascia
1 Instruction booklet
1 Remote control
1 Pack of fixing screws and wall plugs (5 x 40mm pozi pan head screws / 5 x wall plugs)
1 Wall mounting bracket
6.0 SITE REQUIREMENTS
This appliance is designed to be wall mounted using the mounting bracket and fixings provided. The wall should be relatively flat
and not interfere with any of the ventilation slots in the rear panel.
The wall must be structurally sound and of a material capable of withstanding moderate heat. Finished plaster, conventional
wallpaper, dry-lined plaster board are examples of suitable materials. Materials such as flock, blown vinyl, embossed paper and
cloth wall coverings which are sensitive to even small amounts of heat should be avoided, as some discolouration may occur.
It should be noted that the appliance creates warm convected air currents. These currents move heat from the room surroundings
to, and up the wall surfaces adjacent to the heater.
Installing the heater next to these types of wall coverings or operating the heater where impurities in the air, (such as tobacco
smoke) exist, may slightly discolour wall finishing.
If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined or timber framed construction then the integrity and ability of the wall to carry
the weight of the appliance must be confirmed. It is important in these circumstances that any vapour barrier and/or structural
members of the house frame are not damaged.
If you are unsure of the ability of the wall to carry the weight and/or which type of wall fixing to use, you should take professional
advice and obtain the correct fixings. Alternatively, find a more suitable wall location.
DO NOT
• mount on a ceiling or floor.
• recess any part of the appliance into the wall, or run the supply cable under carpets.
• site any electrical equipment e.g. plasma screen TV sets etc, on the wall below the appliance.
• site in a position where curtains or drapes could cover the appliance, or other soft materials could cover e.g. below a coat
rack.
• site behind an opening door where mechanical impact/damage could occur.
• site where the supply cable would become a trip hazard.
• sit, stand or forcefully pull on the appliance.
• obstruct, cover or force items into the openings.
• use the heater to dry clothes.
• site/use in an outdoor location(s).
7.0 CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
It is important that the following clearances are maintained from the appliance to combustible materials. These clearances are
dependent on the mounting location as defined below:
• The minimum distance from the top of the appliance to a ceiling is 300mm
• The minimum distance from the bottom of the appliance to the floor is 300mm
• The minimum distance to the sides of the appliance is 100mm
