USER INSTRUCTIONS

ASSEMBLY OF THE HEATER

(FOR USE ON THE FLOOR AS A PORTABLE APPLIANCE)

Before using the heater, the feet (supplied separately in the box), must be

tted to the unit. These are to be attached to the base of the heater using

the four self-tapping screws provided. Ensure that they are positioned

correctly to the side moulding at the bottom of the heater.

WALL MOUNTING

(FOR USE OF THE HEATER AS A FIXED APPLIANCE)

The heater is supplied with four (of each) xing brackets, screws and

plastic wall plugs to enable it to be mounted onto a wall if required. If it

is decided to mount the heater on the wall, the feet should not be tted.

The wall positioning must be chosen carefully. It must not be in front of or

below a power socket. It must NOT be below a shelf, curtains or any other

obstructions. Refer to the Safety Instructions.

There must be a minimum distance of 400 mm between the oor and the

bottom of the heater. Allowance must be made for any oor coverings,

carpets etc, and if any skirting boards are present.

Drill two xing holes 486 mm apart on a horizontal line to the oor using an

8 mm drill bit.

Using the plastic plugs and xing screws provided, attach 2 of the xing

brackets to the wall.

The other pair of xing brackets must be attached to the base of the heater

using the retaining screws so that the brackets project out at the rear of the

heater and hold the bottom edge of the heater away from the wall.

Clip the heater onto the two brackets that are secured onto the wall.

If required, the bottom brackets may also be secured to the wall using the

remaining xing screws and plastic wall plugs.

It is suggested that the heater is hung on the upper brackets and the hole

positions for the lower brackets are then marked on the wall prior to drilling

the holes for attachment purposes. See the gures below.
