THE HEATER MUST BE LOCKED IN PLACE ON THE WALL MOUNTING BASE BEFORE IT CAN BE
SAFELY OPERATED.
Bathroom fan heaters are only to be mounted on heat resistant walls that comply with current
AS/NZS specifications & building regulations. Use only the voltage specified on the rating label
of the appliance.
• It is illegal for persons other than those authorised by legislation to work on the fixed wiring
of any electrical installation.
• All installations must be in accordance with the local Electrical Wiring Regulations and Wiring
Rules.

sufficient heat to cause safety devices to activate.
NEVER install unit in a position where an open door can abut up to the front of the unit, as it
will heat up too quickly and activate the safety devices.
See installation instructions on next page.
Installing your Appliance
INSTALLATION
• Select a location for mounting of the heater in accordance with the installation instructions
• The heater must be connected by permanent wiring within the wall cavity from an isolating
switch.
• Ingress Protection (IP): Bathrooms are divided into four zones based on the levels of
perceived risk within each area. The measurements are taken from the fixed plumbing
connection (water source) and each zone has specific requirements regarding the electrical
equipment that can be used within it. Goldair Bathroom heaters are rated IPX0 so must
be installed in Zone 3.
• The Wall Mounting Base should be positioned as shown in Figure 1.
• The wiring within the wall cavity can be terminated into the respective terminals marked L
• and N on the wall mounting base. (See Figure 3a).
• The Wall Mounting Base must be secured with all four screw fixing points.
• Securely fix the Wall Mounting Base to the wall surface with the screws and wall plugs
• supplied. (See Figure3b).
• The Wall Mounting Base can be used with or without a flush box (Cat144) in the wall
cavity. When using a flush box it should be located directly behind the Wall Mounting Base
connector block.
• Fit the heater to the wall mounting base by ensuring the 4 hooks on the wall mounting
base have engaged with the mounting apertures of the heater. Slide the heater down to
lock it into place. The electrical connection is automatically made during this step.
• The heater must be locked in place on the Wall Mounting Base for safe operation.
• To check the heater is fully locked to the mounting base, attempt to gently slide the heater
upwards. It should be securely held in position.
• To remove the heater from the Wall Mounting Base insert a blade screwdriver into the
hole located below the middle of the outlet grille. Rotate the screwdriver until the clip
releases. Then while holding the heater, gently push up with the screwdriver sliding the
heater off the Wall Mounting Base. (See Figure 2.)
• Please refer to your user manual for operating instructions, further information or trouble
shooting before you call the Customer Service number listed within the user manual.
Operating Your Heater
WARNING:In order to avoid overheating or fire, DO NOT COVER the heater.
WARNING:Do not use this heater with a programmer, separate timer, remote-
control system or any other device that switches the heater on automatically, as a
fire risk exists if the heater is covered or positioned incorrectly.
WARNING:Never leave this heater unattended when in use.
NOTE: When the appliance is turned on for the first time, it may release a slight
odour or smoke. This odour or smoke is a normal occurrence caused by the initial
heating of the internal heating elements and should not occur again.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Goldair bathroom heaters have 3 operating modes:
Heat Control – Hot Air – 2400W
Ensure the heater has power available by turning it on at the isolating switch. Pull the pull-
cord to start the heater. The neon indicator light will illuminate indicating the heater is in
operation. Pull the pull-cord again to turn the heater off.
Automatic Step-down Heat – Warm Air – 1200W
When the room reaches a pre-set temperature, the heater will automatically step-down and
reduce the heat output to save power. If the room cools down, the heater will automatically
step-up and increase the heat output.
Overheat Protection – Cold Air
The heater will turn itself off in the event of over heating. The most common cause of over
heating is deposits of dust or fluff entering the appliance. Ensure these deposits are removed
regularly by cleaning the inlet and outlet grills. The heater will automatically re-set when it
has cooled down.
If the heater is blowing cold air, power it off and leave it for 1-2 hrs to allow the safety
devices to cool down and reset. Then reactivate your heater and if;
A) it blows warm or hot air, continue to use the heater.
B) it still blows cold air, then the permanent disabling
element safety device has activated. You will need to
reach out to CDB customer services team with imagery
of your installation and we will be in touch with further
instructions. Scan the QR-Code to be directed to our
contact us website page.
Cleaning Your Heater
The heater requires regular cleaning to ensure trouble free operation:
• Before cleaning, remove unit from Mounting Base Plate.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and fluff from the inlet and outlet grills.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the heater. Do not use abrasive
cleaning products on this appliance.
• Ensure the heater is dry before turning the power supply back on to the heater.
