Introduction

SKOPE Airelec heating

SKOPE Airelec Elite 3D convection panel heaters are available as

vertical, horizontal and plinth models, providing you with the

opportunity to choose a model that will optimise the valuable wall space

available in your room. These designs have passed rigorous testing

and quality assurance controls with both style and safety in mind. As a

result, they have a slim profile, operate silently, are double insulated,

include overheat protection and are supplied with wall mounting

brackets for simple installation.

SKOPE Airelec Elite 3D convection panel heaters incorporate

electronic thermostat control, and are designed to accept the Ecobox2

programmable controller - which enables master, remote or

programmable control with real-time operation.

When purchasing a SKOPE

product, our customers put

trust in us to deliver upon a

promise. They expect their

SKOPE heater or

refrigerator to be, amongst

other things, a totally

dependable high performer,

features that capture and

illustrate the key values that

guide us as a company.

These values can be

summarised as durability,

reliability, safety, and

relentlessness.

Our name, logo, and this

product reflect our

commitment to our

customers.

Safety Information

When using any electrical appliance, safety precautions should always

be observed. Read these instructions carefully, and retain for future

reference.

• When used by, or near, young children or infirm persons, close

supervision is necessary. Young children should be supervised to

ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Use this appliance only with the voltage specified on rating label.

•Do NOT use this appliance other than for its intended use.

•Do NOT touch hot surfaces or moving parts.

•Do NOT cover the grilles or place any object or material up against

the unit, as this may block entry or exhaust of airflow.

•Do NOT probe any opening to remove fluff. To ensure trouble-free

performance it is recommended that on a regular basis the unit be

isolated from the power supply and a vacuum cleaner used to

remove dust and fluff from the inlet and outlet grilles.

•Do NOT allow the supply cord to come into contact with heated

surfaces during operation.

• If used in conjunction with another heater fitted with the Ecobox2

electronic controller, ensure that the heater can operate safely in

accordance with these operational instructions.

• Regulations require that electrical work be carried out by

authorised persons. For your own safety and that of others, ensure

this is done.

• If the supply cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced by a

SKOPE authorised service agent, or similarly qualified person, in

order to avoid a hazard.

• For service, contact your nearest authorised service agent.

Caution:

If the heater is used on Freeze Guard setting, or operated via a timer,

ensure the heater is not obstructed in any way by furniture or drapes

etc. Ensure the heater can operate safely, should the heater switch on

when the ambient temperature drops, or a timer activates the heater.

Safety Cutout

Your SKOPE Airelec convection heater is fitted with an auto-reset

thermal cutout. This safety device will automatically switch off the

elements should the heater reach an abnormal temperature.

Should this occur: switch off the heater immediately, and disconnect

from the power supply. Allow the heater to cool down, and check for

blockage of the air vents. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean if necessary.

If the heater still fails to operate, contact your nearest authorised

service agent.

NOTE: The heater indicator neon may still be on. Check that there is no

heat being emitted from the grilles.

Care

The heater is best wiped down, from time to time, with a damp cloth.

Do not use any abrasive cleaners.

Freeze Guard

The Freeze Guard setting, on the selector switch, is used to provide

heat if the ambient temperature drops to a level close to freezing. This

setting is useful during extended periods of absence, or for unoccupied

rooms. The thermostat knob does not need to be adjusted for Freeze

Guard to operate.

Installation

This appliance must be installed in accordance with the relevant elec-

trical wiring rules and regulations. The heater must not be located

immediately below a socket-outlet. A suitable disconnection device

(acting in all active supplies) is required to be incorporated in the fixed

supply wiring. When used in a bathroom, the heater must be installed

such that the controls cannot be touched by a person in the bath or

shower.

Due to the precision of the heater’s electronic thermostat, the unit is

highly sensitive to air drafts. For this reason, carefully determine the

unit’s location before installation.

The minimum required distance from the heater to any floor is 150mm.

The minimum required distance from the heater to any adjacent wall is

200mm (see figure 3 on page 9).

Connection Details

The heater is supplied with a 1.8m 2-core flex and plug. For single oper-

ation the heater can be plugged directly into a socket outlet.

NOTE: This double insulated (Class II) appliance does NOT require

Earthing.

Pilot wire

For pilot wire operation or permanent connection to fixed wiring, the

plug must be removed. If the pilot wire is to be used, it must be connect-

ed to a separate pilot wire circuit. The black pilot wire MUST NOT be

connected to Earth. Ensure the power supply to the pilot wire, as well

as the mains power to the heater, is disconnected before any servicing

or maintenance is carried out.

When permanently wired, and the pilot wire is not being used, the pilot

wire must be connected to a potential free terminal in a switched

permanent connection unit.

NOTE: For pilot wire connection details, see separate ‘Ecobox2 Pilot

Wire Transmitter’ Operating Instructions (P/No: MAN9762).

Mounting Instructions

The heater is fixed on the wall with the mounting bracket attached to

back of the heater.

To secure mounting bracket to the wall

1. Remove the wall mounting bracket from the back of the heater,

by compressing the bayonet fittings at the top and/or sides of the

bracket, which clip into the heater body (see figure 2 below).

2. Place the mounting bracket against the wall, ensuring the bracket

is level and the minimum distance between the heater and the

adjacent surfaces are adhered to (see table 2 on page 8).

3. Mark and drill the fixing holes at the top and bottom of the

mounting bracket, and attached to the wall with suitable screws

and/or wall anchors (see figure 3 on page 9).

4. Locate the heater over the bottom clips of the wall bracket and

then push the heater securely into the bayonet fittings on the top

and/or sides of the bracket.

To remove heater from the wall

1. By using a pointed tip screwdriver, push in and lever out the

bayonet fittings at the top and/or sides of wall mounting bracket.

2. Lift the heater up and away from the wall.

Important!

When operated for the first time, the heater may emit a

small amount of smoke. This is normal, and should clear

within a few minutes. It is recommended you open

windows and doors during this process.

Limiting the Thermostat

The thermostat knob can be adjusted so as to limit the maximum and

minimum temperatures, or locked at a fixed temperature position.

Limiting to a maximum temperature

1. Remove thermostat knob from the heater control panel.

2. Remove the maximum setting plastic cap from the knob (shown

in figure 1 on page 5).

3. Replace the thermostat knob.

4. Turn and place the knob at the maximum setting required.

5. Fasten a small screw (e.g. No.4 x 1/4” self-tapper) in the hole.

The screw should be small enough not to impede movement of

the knob up to the maximum limit.

6. Return the knob to the * position.

7. The knob should turn freely, up to the maximum setting.

Limiting to a maximum and minimum temperature

1. Set a maximum temperature as above.

2. Remove the minimum setting plastic cap from the knob (shown in

figure 1 on page 5).

3. Turn and place the knob at the minimum setting required.

4. Fasten a small screw (e.g. No.4 x 1/4” self-tapper) in the hole.

The screw should be small enough not to impede movement of

the knob between the two limits.

5. The thermostat knob should turn freely between the two limits.

Locking the thermostat knob

1. Remove thermostat knob from the heater control panel.

2. Remove either one of the plastic caps from the knob.

3. Turn and place the thermostat knob at the required setting.

4. Fasten a screw (e.g. No.6 x 1/4” self tapper) into the hole.

The screw should be large enough to impede movement of the

knob.

5. The thermostat knob should now be locked at the required

setting.
