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. If installed in a bathroom the heater must not be accessible to a person using a bath,
wash basin etc., and must be controlled by a fused, double pole switch within 2 metres of the appliances. It is not recommended
that a heater installed in a bathroom should be connected to a ring main circuit. The heater must not be installed immediately
below a fixed socket outlet. 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. 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.
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.
Solid Brick and Concrete Walls
No. 10 Rawlplug plastic inserts. Drill
hole of 8mm dia to a depth of 15mm
greater than depth of the insert.
Timber Frame
Seek specialist advice, some au-
thorities 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
70/10mm.
