SKOPE Surface and Recessed Wall Fan Heater
Installation and Operating Instructions
Surface Mounted Models: 989E, 990E
Installation Instructions
This appliance MUST be installed in accordance with relevant wiring
rules and regulations which cover installation of appliances and
accessories in damp situations such as bathrooms, showers, laundries
and other areas with fixed water containers (in Australia and New
Zealand - AS/NZS 3000:2000 Wiring Rules).
IMPORTANT: 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.
The heater must be mounted minimum distances of 200mm from floor
level and 300mm from any adjacent wall (see the installation diagram
on page 7). The heater should be mounted on the wall in such a
location that it will not create a draft to anyone sitting in the room.
If the heater is to be permanently wired, provision should be made for
connection to mains power supply. Remove the metal knockout in the
back of heater, to allow for cable entry, or use the hole at the bottom of
the heater. Cable entry position on the wall, relative to heater fixing
holes, is shown in the installation diagram on page 7. To fix the heater
to the wall, follow the instructions below:
1.Remove the hinged front panel from the heater by unscrewing
the two screws at the top of the front panel. The hinged front
panel may be removed for ease of installation.
2.Attach the heater to the wall by screwing the four fixing screws
(provided) through mounting holes on the back of the heater. At
least two of the fixing screws should be attached to a wall stud.
Alternatively toggle bolts (not provided) could be used where stud
centres are inconvenient. For fixing hole centres, see the
installation diagram on page 7.
3.Connect mains wiring to the terminal block and refit the hinged
front panel. Following installation or a period of non-use, in order
to free up the lubricant, operate the appliance on FAN ONLY
setting for approximately five minutes before using the heat
settings.
