IMPORTANT
These instructions should be read carefully and retained for future reference.

This heater is VERY HEAVY. In order to maintain stability
and to ensure its future safety in use, it is essential that
the heater is FIXED SOUNDLY TO A WALL and that the
feet are mounted on a FIRM, LEVEL SURFACE. Care
should be taken to avoid irregular surfaces, such as may
result from tiled surrounds partially protruding under the
heater. It is important that the following instructions are
strictly followed.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE FIXING DEVICE CHOSEN IS
APPROPRIATE TO THE WALL MATERIAL TO WHICH THE
HEATER IS BEING FIXED. SOME MODERN INTERNAL
BUILDING MATERIALS ARE VERY LOW DENSITY BLOCK
AND REQUIRE SPECIALISED FIXING DEVICES TO
PROVIDE A SAFE, SECURE INSTALLATION.
THE HEATER MUST BE INSTALLED WHERE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE
FOR SWITCHES AND OTHER CONTROLS TO BE TOUCHED
BY A PERSON USING A BATH OR SHOWER.
The installation of this appliance should be carried out by
competent personnel and be in accordance with the current
IEE wiring regulations. For the assembly of the heater tools
required are a No. 2 pozidriver, an electrical screwdriver
with a 4mm wide blade and a 8mm AF open ended or box
spanner. A small mirror will aid insertion of the front panel
retaining screws.
Only Heat Resisting Cable (min. rating T85) should be used.
DO NOT COVER OR OBSTRUCT the surfaces of the
appliance.
DO NOT INSTALL the heater immediately below a fi xed
socket outlet.
DO NOT POSITION under windows where curtains may
contact the heater. (See minimum clearances, stage 6).
DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS in contact with 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 with an identical part.
