Your Voltec heater has been designed to produce warmth where and when you need it.
Radiant Convector (RC) heaters provide mostly radiant and varying proportions of convected heat.
Radiant panel and IPx4 radiated heaters produce mostly radiant heat.
Radiant
heat does not directly warm air but warms objects and we therefore recommend that furniture etc. be kept one metre
clear from the front of the heater.
The heaters are supplied with a mains cord length which should be sufficient to allow connection to a
convenient 13A fused spur, or socket outlet via a 13 amp plug. (See fitting detail below).
Either must be fitted with the correctly rated fuse as detailed below;
(a) 500 watts (5amp)
(b) 750 & 1000 watts (7amp)
(c) 1500 & 2000 watts (13amp)
