Creda NewEra 79348S Assembly Instruction Manual page 3

IMPORTANT NOTES: It is important to read these instructions carefully and also note the information given on the heater itself.
As these particular instructions refer to the assembly and installation of a new heater, they should be retained by the installer; not left
behind for the user as this would invite the dismantling and servicing by unqualified persons. FOR THE USER, there is a separate
instruction leaflet explaining how the heater should best be operated. Please see that this leaflet is left with the heater for the user's
purposes. A MEANS FOR DISCONNECTION IN ALL POLES MUST BE INCORPORATED IN THE FIXED WIRING IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE WIRING RULES, THE INSTALLATION SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN. CABLE HAVING A
MINIMUM 'T' RATING OF 85ºC MUST BE USED. Heaters forming part of a comprehensive space heating system should be wired
with their own separate circuit, if however, 1 or 2 heaters are installed as a starter system these may be connected to a 30 amp
ring main provided that the instructions below are observed, any further heaters installed must be connected by its own circuit. If
connected to a 30 amp ring circuit the total rating of heaters connected must not exceed 3kW, where the circuit supplies a kitchen,
or 4kW, where the circuit does not include a kitchen. The storage radiator is designed to run on cheap overnight electricity, therefore
the means of connecting the heater to the ring main should include a timer. These should be connected to the supply with 3 core
heat resistant cable, the size of which is dependant on heater loading i.e. loading up to 10 amps use 1mm², up to 13 amps use
1.5mm² and for the larger heaters 2.5mm² cable. The heater must not be installed immediately below a fixed socket outlet. This
heater must be installed where it is impossible for switches and other controls to be touched by a person using a bath or shower.
WARNINGS - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED - SPECIAL ATTENTION MUST BE PAID TO THE SECURITY OF THE HEATER'S
WALL FIXINGS. TO MAINTAIN STABILITY, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE HEATER IS PLACED ON A LEVEL SURFACE AND CARE
SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID IRREGULAR SURFACES, SUCH AS MAY RESULT FROM CARPETS OR TILED SURROUNDS PARTIALLY
PROTRUDING UNDER THE HEATER. Two supplies are taken into this heater, both fan heater and storage heater circuits must be
connected to the same phase of the electricity supply. IF, DURING ANY REASSEMBLY OF THE HEATER, A PART OF THE THERMAL
INSULATION SHOWS DAMAGE OR DETERIORATION WHICH MAY IMPAIR SAFETY, IT SHOULD BE REPLACED BY AN IDENTICAL
PART.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision for instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Storage heaters are not compatible with all types and grades of floor coverings, and in extreme cases damage may occur. It is recommended
that before installation of this product, you check that your floor covering is suitable for exposure to continued high temperatures.
WALL FIXING: The heater must ALWAYS be mounted against, and fixed to a wall as it will not stand up by itself. A detachable
bracket is provided for screwing to the wall, the heater is then placed in position and fixed to the bracket by a screw at each end.
The heater must never be unscrewed or moved from the wall bracket whilst it is loaded with bricks. THE HEATER IS VERY HEAVY
AND WILL BE DANGEROUS IF ITS WALL FIXING BECOMES INSECURE.

No. 10 Rawlplug plastic inserts.
Drill hole of 8mm dia to a depth
of 15mm greater than depth of the
insert.

Seek specialist advice, some authori-
ties suggest RAWLNUT
Panelled Wall, Paramount Board, Chipboard, Plasterboard, etc.
Check that the panel itself is adequately fixed to battens etc. Use Rawlplug
M5 intersets; drill accurate 10mm dia holes in single skin plasterboard.
One fixing should be in studwork.
Hollow concrete, Breeze Block and Thermolite Block Walls
RAWLPLUG 'RAWLOK R6054R'. Some authorities suggest UNIFIX LB
