WALL MOUNTING

The heater is supplied with 4 off each fixing brackets, screws and plastic wall plugs to enable it to be mounted onto
a wall if required.
If it is decides to mount the heater on the wall, the feet should not be fitted. The position must be chosen carefully.
It must not be in front of or below a power socket. It must not be below a shelf, curtains or any other obstruction.
Also refer to the safety instructions overleaf.
Having decided on the location of the heater it is necessary to drill 2 fixing holes 8mm diameter by 43mm deep at
486mm centers on a horizontal line at a minimum height of 400mm from the floor.
Allowance must be made for any floor coverings, carpet etc. and if any skirting boards are present, the fixing holes
must be a minimum of 400mm above the top edge of the skirting board. Using the plastic plugs and fixing screws
provided, attach 2 of the fixing brackets to the wall. The other pair of fixing brackets must be attached to the base
of the heater using the feet retaining screws so that the brackets project out at the rear of the heater and space the
bottom edge away from the wall.
If required, these brackets may also be secured to the wall using the remaining fixing screws and plastic wall plugs.
If this option is chosen it is suggested that the heater is hung on the upper brackets and the hole positions for the
lower brackets is then marked on the wall, prior to drilling the holes for attachment purposes.

OPERATION OF THE HEATER

NOTE: It is normal when the heaters are turned on for the first time or when they are turned on after having not
been used for a long period of time the heaters may emit some smell and fumes. This will disappear when the
heater has been on a short while.

Choose a suitable location for the heater, taking into account the safety instructions above.
Insert the plug of the heater into a suitable socket.
Turn the thermostat knob fully in a clockwise direction to the maximum setting.

Turn on the heating elements by means of the rocker switches on the side panel. When the heating elements are on
the switches will illuminate. For maximum heat output both switches should be on.
When the desired room temperature has been reached, the thermostat knob should be turned slowly anti-clockwise
until the thermostat is heard to click off and the lights on the element switches are seen to go out. After this the
heater will keep the air temperature in the room at the set temperature by switching on and off automatically.
In it is minimum (fully anti-clockwise) position, the thermostat provides a frost guard position. In this position
(depending on the size of the room) the heater will maintain the temperature above freezing.

It also incorporates an internal fan, which can be switched on independently of the heating elements.
Fan Operation: This is operated by means of the switch with the fan symbol along side it. The fan will only operate
with the thermostat in the “ON” position and can be used when the heating elements are “ON” to blow warm air
into the room. In warm conditions the fan can be used with the heating elements “OFF” to blow cool air into the
room.
