2. Power supply connection
Check that the supply voltage details on the heater are in accordance with your electricity supply. The appliance is
fitted with 2 metres of flexible cable type H05VV-F size 3 x 1.5mm for electrical connection. The cable may be used to
connect the heater to the fixed wiring of the premises through a suitable connection box. The supply circuit to the heater
must incorporate a double pole isolating switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm. The power supply cable
should be routed from the plinth space to the connection box, ensuring that the cable is left with enough slack to allow
removal of the appliance for maintenance. The cable must be protected from any sharp edges.
3. Fitting the Rear Support Bracket
The heater is supplied with a rear support bracket. Fit to the back of the appliance with the two screws supplied. Adjust
the rear support bracket so that the vertical distance from the underside of the appliance to bottom of the rear support
bracket equals the vertical distance from the floor in the cupboard space to the bottom of the aperture opening. The
slots in the rear support bracket allow it to be adjusted to the required height.
4. Marking the Fixing Positions
Slide the heater into position in the plinth aperture. Mark the six fixing holes (two on each side and two on the top
Remove the heater and drill 2mm pilot holes.
5. Mounting the Heater into the Plinth
When the cable connection has been made and the rear support bracket adjusted, slide the heater into the aperture
ensuring that it is adequately supported and that the inlet grille is not obstructed. Use the six screws provided to secure
the heater to the plinth. (See point 6 below for optional grille fitting).
6. Colour Options.
Your BFH is supplied with a choice of 3 different finishes, Brown (supplied with the heater), White or Stainless Steel.
Your white grille & stainless steel grille are supplied separately (in plastic bags) as an attachment for the front of the
heater. If you prefer the white or the stainless steel finish, place the chosen grille against the heater before fixing the
heater to the plinth. Use the six screws to secure it to the front of the heater / plinth.

Operation of Thermostat
1. The heater incorporates a variable thermostat
which is controlled by a knob situated on the
top right hand side of the front panel. The
knob is marked *, 1 - 6, MAX, representing a
temperature range of 5° C to 30° C. Lowest
setting provides frost protection level.
2. Turn thermostat knob to maximum.
When the room has reached the desired
comfort level turn back the knob until the
thermostat just ' clicks ' off. If the knob is left
in this position the room temperature will be
maintained automatically at the chosen level.
Remember
If, when the heater is switched on, the room temperature is above that selected on the thermostat knob the heater will not
operate. This is as it should be, and the thermostat is performing its function correctly. Should a higher temperature be
required than the one selected, then it will be necessary to turn the thermostat knob to a higher setting to bring the heater
into operation.
