READ THIS FIRST

This heater must be installed in accordance with the Building Regulations. These may be obtained from OPSI or viewed and downloaded from www.communities.gov.uk following the link for Building Regulations.

This heater is designed for wall mounting and must be used with the warm air vent facing downwards. This heater should not be used in any other orientation and should not be used as a free standing portable appliance.

ADVISORY: This heater must be installed at least 1.8m above the floor.

This heater must be installed so that switches and other controls (except the pull cord) cannot be touched by a person in the bath or shower.

The mounting position should allow the free movement of air around the heater. Obstructing the air flow could result in overheating.

This product is not intended to be used by children and persons with sensory, physical and/or mental impairments that would prevent them from using it safely.

Small children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with this appliance.

Switch off the mains before commencing installation and remove the appropriate circuit fuse.

Suitable for indoor use only.

This product is suitable for installation on surfaces with normal flammability e.g. wood, plasterboard, masonry. It is not suitable for use on highly flammable surfaces (e.g. polystyrene, textiles).

Before making fixing hole(s), check that there are no obstructions hidden beneath the mounting surface such as pipes or cables.

The chosen location of your new heater should allow for the product to be securely mounted (e.g. to a firm wall) and safely connected to the mains supply.

Do not site the heater directly beneath a mains outlet socket.

If the location of your new heater requires the provision of a new electrical supply, the supply must conform with the requirements of the Building Regulations.

This product is designed for permanent connection to fixed wiring: this should be to a suitable ring circuit (protected with a 10 Amp MCB or fuse) or a fused spur (with a 10 Amp fuse) via a fused connection unit. The supply must incorporate a switch or other means of disconnection.

This product is not suitable for mounting within bathroom zones 0, 1 or 2 – it can be installed outside of zones where the permanent connection to the mains supply is made in accordance with the requirements of building and wiring regulations.

If installed in a bathroom, the supply circuit must be protected by a 30mA RCD.

Make connections to the electrical supply in accordance with the following code:
Live - Brown or Red • Neutral - Blue or Black

This product is double insulated, do not connect any part to Earth.

To avoid overheating, do not cover the heater.

The heater is fitted with 2 stage over-temperature protection for protection against brief excess of temperature, the heater has a resetting thermostatic device; for longer periods of excess temperature or higher excess temperatures, the heater is fitted with a one-shot thermal fuse which cannot be reset.

As you are making a fixed connection to the mains, you are advised at every stage of your installation to double-check any electrical connections you have made. After you have completed your installation there are electrical tests that should be carried out: these tests are specified in the Wiring Regulations (BS7671) referred to in the Building Regulations.
