The Noirot Spot Plus Electric Panel Heater is a sophisticated heating solution designed for ambient heating in residential settings, including new and existing single and multi-unit dwellings. It is engineered for efficiency, economy, and ease of use, making it suitable for various room types and conditions. The heater is available in models ranging from 1000W to 2400W, offering flexibility to suit different heating requirements.
The Noirot Spot Plus operates as an electric panel heater, utilizing convection to warm a room. It draws in cool air, heats it using an internal element, and then releases the warmed air back into the room, creating a gentle and consistent heat distribution. This method ensures that the entire room is heated evenly, rather than just the immediate vicinity of the heater. The core of its operation is the electronic thermostat, which is designed for precision and efficiency. This thermostat continuously monitors the room temperature, taking readings every 30 seconds. This frequent monitoring allows the heater to maintain a desired comfort level with minimal temperature fluctuations, contributing to both energy savings and consistent warmth.
The heater is equipped with a safety thermal cut-out switch, which automatically activates if the unit overheats. This can occur if the air inlets or outlets are blocked, preventing proper airflow. In such an event, the heater will switch off to limit the temperature to a safe value. To reset this safety feature, the user simply needs to switch off the heater, unplug it, remove any obstructions, and then plug it back in and switch it on. The thermal cut-out switch will reset after a few minutes, allowing the heater to resume normal operation.
The Noirot Spot Plus is double insulated and does not require earthing, simplifying its electrical installation. It is also IP24 rated, making it suitable for use in bathrooms, specifically in Zone 2, in accordance with AS/NZS 3000: 2018 (Wiring Rules). However, it is crucial that the controls are positioned so they cannot be touched by a person in the bath or shower to ensure safety.
The Noirot Spot Plus is designed for straightforward operation. To turn the heater on, the user rotates dial A from the 'Standby' position to the 'On' position. Subsequently, dial C is adjusted until light B illuminates, indicating that the heater is active and beginning to warm the room. The time required for the room to reach the desired temperature can vary based on room size but typically takes 15-20 minutes, after which light B will turn off.
Achieving the desired comfort level is intuitive: if more heat is needed, dial C is turned towards a larger 'DOT' setting; if the room is too warm, dial C is adjusted towards a smaller 'DOT'. To return the heater to standby, dial A is rotated back to the 'Standby' position. This simple dial-based control system makes it easy for users to manage their heating preferences without complex programming.
The heater offers versatile installation options. It can be wall-mounted using the supplied wall bracket, which is pre-attached to the back of the heater. The bracket can be removed by pushing down on spring-loaded clips. For wall installation, suitable fixings (not included) must be used, and the heater should be placed onto the bracket and clipped into position. A key consideration for wall mounting is to ensure the heater is not located immediately below a power socket, adhering to safety regulations (Clause 7.12 of AS/NZS 60335.2.30). Minimum installation distances from floors, walls, and furniture must also be observed to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Alternatively, the heater can be used as a portable unit with optional "Easy Glide Castors." These castors provide mobility, allowing the heater to be moved between rooms as needed. When using castors, it is imperative to follow the fitting instructions carefully. Once the black clips of the castors are fixed into position, they cannot be removed without breaking them. It is also explicitly stated that the heater should not be used on the floor without these castors when operating as a portable unit. Furthermore, when used as a portable heater, it must not be placed in the immediate surroundings of a bath, shower, or swimming pool.
The heater is supplied with an Australian Approved Flexible Cord and Plug, making it ready for DIY installation by plugging into an existing 10-amp power point. For direct wiring, a Licensed Registered Electrical Contractor is required to issue a Certificate of Electrical Safety. It is crucial not to plug the heater into a power board, double adaptor, or extension lead for safety reasons.
The Noirot Spot Plus Electric Panel Heater requires minimal maintenance to ensure its longevity and efficient operation. For routine cleaning, surface dust can be removed with a soft cloth. For more stubborn marks, a damp cloth can be used. It is important to avoid using abrasive cleaners or metal scourers, as these can damage the polyester coating of the heater.
Periodic cleaning of the front and under-carriage air vents is recommended. This can be done using a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner. This step is vital because a dense accumulation of dust in these vents can cause the heater to overheat, potentially triggering the safety thermal cut-out switch. By keeping the vents clear, proper airflow is maintained, ensuring the heater operates safely and efficiently.
When using the heater for the first time, or after a prolonged period of inactivity (such as during summer months), a slight odor or haze may be noticed. This is considered normal and should dissipate after a few minutes of operation. If the odor persists, the heater should be switched off and inspected.
The flexible cord is a critical safety component and must not be modified or repaired in any way. If the cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Noirot appointed and approved service agent to prevent potential hazards. Similarly, all service operations on the heater must be performed by a qualified and authorized person after the power has been switched off.
To ensure optimal performance and safety, it is strictly forbidden to cover or block the air intakes or outlets of the heater. Covering the heater risks causing an accident or damaging the unit due to overheating. The presence of the "DO NOT COVER" logo serves as a constant reminder of this risk. To reduce the risk of fire, textiles, curtains, or any other flammable material must be kept at a minimum distance of 1 meter from the air outlet.
The heater should not be used if it has been dropped or if there are visible signs of damage. If used as a portable unit, it must be placed on a horizontal and stable surface. In small rooms, the heater should not be used when occupied by persons not capable of leaving the room on their own, unless constant supervision is provided.
The manufacturer reserves the right to modify the Installation and User Guide at any time to account for new standards or changes to existing standards, ensuring that the product remains compliant and safe.
