Positioning the heater
Always ensure that the heater is stood on a firm, level base near to,
but not directly beneath, a suitable mains supply socket.
Ensure that curtains and furniture are not positioned close to the chosen
position, as this would create a potential fire hazard.
We recommend that the heater should be wall-mounted in rooms where
children may be left unattended.

Wall Mounting

The heater should be positioned observing the minimum clearances -
see Fig. 1 and in accordance with the safety warnings.
Three identical wall mounting brackets are secured to the base of the
heater with a fixing screw. To wall mount appliance, first remove the
brackets as follows :
Lay the heater on its back.
Following the sequence in Fig. 2 – identify and remove the fixing screw
securing the brackets as shown in (a), then pull out brackets and rotate
them to disengage them from the slot (b).
Select a suitable position on a wall, near to a mains power socket,
making sure that there is at least 230 mm below the heater and at least
450 mm above the heater of unobstructed space - see also 'Positioning
the heater'.
Fix the two top retaining brackets to the wall, using suitable fixings at
358mm centres – see Fig. 3.
Locate the heater on the top brackets and allow it to hang in place.
Fit the bottom bracket into the slot in the heater and then fix it to the
wall.
Test that the heater is now securely fixed to the wall.
Operation
Plug in and switch on at the wall socket. On model's with a neon, the
neon will light when the heater is connected to the power supply.
Thermostat

temperature. This ensures that the heater will not produce heat
unnecessarily when the room is warm. To set the temperature you
require, turn the thermostat knob clockwise until the desired temperature
is reached. Alternatively to heat a cold room quickly, turn the thermostat
knob up fully. When the room has reached the desired temperature,
turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise until the thermostat just clicks
off.
The heater will now automatically operate at this temperature.
The thermostat also has a frost protection setting marked '

standards, certain types of carpets could become discoloured by the

we recommend that you contact the carpet manufacturer for guidance.
Alternatively, either stand the heater on a suitable base to shield the
carpet or wall-mount it – call our Helpline for further advice.
You may notice some parts of the element appearing to glow hotter or
redder from time to time because of the variable airflow through the
heater. This does not cause a safety hazard.
