General Care and Safety Guide
Installing your Appliance
Always choose a safe location for the heater, keeping in mind the safety
precautions outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the unit
before use.
BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE, IT MUST BE WALL MOUNTED.

WALLS THAT COMPLY WITH CURRENT AS/NZS SPECIFICATIONS & BUILDING
REGULATIONS
CAUTION: Do not run the power cord behind the heater.
CAUTION:Do not mount directly under or over an electrical power socket.
It is recommended to install the heater to the side of the power socket.
The cord length is 1.5m, an electrician may be required to install a power
socket nearer to the appliance.
Decorating tip: All wall mounted heaters may cause paint to discolour or
wallpaper to lift.

See mounting instruction on next page
Installing your Appliance
When positioning and connecting the heater, make sure that your hands do not
touch the heating elements. This is because traces can be left behind which,
afterwards, will have a negative effect on the radiated heat.
For use with a plug, the following applies: do not use extension leads and do not
connect any other equipment next to the heater in the same socket!
Position the mounting bracket with the long side and 2 holes against the wall in
the required position, then mark the drill holes. Make sure that the drill holes are
positioned at the same height. Remove the bracket and drill 2 holes in the spots
marked. Knock in the raw plugs, position the bracket over the top and screw it
firmly into the wall using the screws supplied.
Place the heater over the bracket with the cord down and large holes positioned
over large holes. Screw securely using the bolts, rings and nuts supplied (1).
Adjust the heater to the required position. The body of the heater can be adjusted
to 5 positions (small heater holes (3) over small bracket holes (2)). The mid
position is horizontal to the room. The two positions which are directed
upwards will only be used in exceptional cases and require a greater distance to
the ceiling (2 metre). Finally, the heater has two positions which are directed
downwards. These are the standard positions. Secure the heater at the required
angle by screwing both of the small screws into the double holes.
The heater is now ready for use.
Operating Your Heater
WARNING:In order to avoid overheating or fire, DO NOT COVER the heater.
WARNING: Keep all objects at least 1 metre from the front and 300mm from
the sides of the appliance.
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.
WARNING: This heater is not equipped with a device to control the room
temperature. Do not use this heater in small rooms when they are occupied by
persons not capable of leaving the room on their own, unless constant
supervision is provided.
Ensure heater is mounted on a flat, stable, heat-resistant wall.
Once the heater is in a safe operating position and all switches are in the off
position, insert the power plug into the mains outlet and switch on.
CAUTION: Ensure the power cord is not tight because if pulled it may partially
pull the plug from the socket. A partially inserted plug will overheat the plug and
socket and could result in fire.
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.
The control switch positions are:
“0” = OFF
“I” = Low Heat (600W)
“II” = High Heat (1200W)
To operate the heater, pull the pull switch. Each time you pull the pull switch, the
heater will change to the next setting. You are able to view your heater’s setting
through the window.
Operating Your Heater
Cool Down Period - To assist in protecting the internal components, when the unit is
turned Off the fan will continue to blow room temperature air for a period of 30-60
seconds before shutting down to standby. DO NOT TURN OFF AT THE WALL DURING
THIS TIME.
SAFETY DEVICES
This appliance has two protection devices:
• Resettable Thermal Link - this will automatically disconnect the power to the
element at a pre-set overheat temperature. After cooling down it will reset and
power on again. If this occurs, investigate what is causing the appliance to
overheat.
• Thermal Fuse - this disconnects the appliance permanently in case of overheating.
(It is non resettable).
CAUTION: The appliance generates heat during use. Precautions must be
taken to prevent the risk of burns, scalds, fires or other damage to persons.

• Do not attempt to dismantle the heater.
• There are no user serviceable parts. For service or repair, contact an authorised
electrical service technician.
• Unplug the heater from the mains supply before cleaning.
• Ensure that the heater has been allowed to cool down completely before cleaning.
• The common cause of overheating is deposits of dust or fluff in the appliance.
