Installation Instructions

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

Electrical Connection

1. Read all instructions before using this appliance.

This heater is designed for use on a 208/240V 60Hz AC singlephase supply. Connection requires a supply wire that must consist of two wires plus ground and have a rating capable of handling all loads on the circuit.

2. The wall bracket supplied with the appliance must be used. arning: This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do W not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater.

3. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.

4. Do not use this heater in the immediate surroundings of a bath, shower, pool or other water basin. Check and observe all local electrical and building codes for minimum clearances from electrical switches and circuits before installing this unit.

5. If the heater is installed in a room containing a bath or shower, it must be installed in such a way that all controls are out of reach of a person using the bath or shower.

Verify that the supply voltage is the same as that stated on the heater (A.C supply only).

Make all relevant electrical connections within an installed junction box and ensure all wiring meets all local electrical and building codes. Where local code requires the disconnection of all ungrounded supply lines, a double pole isolating switch must be fitted to facilitate isolation.

Connection to the heater should be made using the provided fitted cable clamp assembly at the back of the heater to meet local code requirements.

WARNING: Always use a qualified and licensed electrician for all wiring and electrical connections. Improper wiring could lead to a fire hazard.

Do not place material or garments on the heater, or obstruct the air circulation around the heater, for instance by curtains or furniture, as this could cause overheating and a fire risk.

1. Remove wall mounting bracket from the back of the heater by depressing the spring latch at the top of each bracket (Figure 2).

9. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.

Operation

Maintenance

Switching the Heater On

Cleaning

The controls are located on the right hand side, on top of the appliance. Lift flap to access the controls (Figure 3).

The button marked '

' controls the electricity supply to the

electronic thermostat. An indicator beside the ' when the unit is powered on.

' button shows

Setting Desired Temperature The heater is fitted with an adjustable thermostat enabling the room temperature to be controlled by adjusting the slider accordingly (Figure 4). The minimum setting ‘ ‘ represents a room temperature of approximately 5oC (41oF) and may be used for protection against frost. The ‘MAX’ setting represents a room temperature of approximately 30oC. The ‘ ‘ symbol glows when the elements are actually heating.

Turn on the heater using the ‘ ‘ button and move the thermostat slider to the desired position. When the room temperature has reached the desired level, the power to the elements will be reduced, the heater will then maintain the room temperature at the chosen level.

! NOTE: Should your heater fail to come on when the thermostat slider is at a low setting, this may be due to the room temperature being higher than the thermostat setting.

Limiting the thermostat setting Before wall mounting the product the installer may wish to limit the heat selection slider movement for the operator. This may be achieved by removing the two (2) plastic pins (refer to ‘x’ in Figure 5) from the rear of the thermostat moulding using pliers and inserting them in the preferred holes to limit the slider movement.

Safety - Overheat protection For your safety this appliance is fitted with a thermal cut-out. In the event that the product overheats for some reason, the cut-out prevents excessive temperatures on the product by cutting the power to the heater. Once the heater has cooled down, it will reset automatically, it will continue to cycle on and off automatically until the reason for overheating is removed.

WARNING: Always disconnect from the power supply before cleaning the heater.

Before commencing cleaning, turn off the heater and allow it to cool.
