The Bahama heater produces radiant heat like the sun, warming people and objects rather than the air in
between. It is mounted on an adjustable bracket that allows the heat to be directed exactly where it is required.
The Bahama is designed for outdoor use so is therefore weatherproof but can be used indoors in conjunction
with a suitable energy saving controller. Please contact Tansun for details of controllers for these applications.
Please read the following instructions carefully before use. The safety of this heater is guaranteed only
by its correct usage in accordance with these instructions, therefore it is recommended that they are
retained for future reference.

The Bahama heater is fitted with a supply cord and a moulded plug, therefore it is unnecessary to open the
terminal box in order to carry out normal installation of this product and should not be interfered with.
We recommend using a RCD where applicable.
Please observe the minimum safe distance between the heater body and any inflammable surfaces.
If the supply cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a
similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
When the electrical connection is outside, it is recommended that a waterproof socket is used for the
connection. Otherwise, the plug should be connected to a socket indoors.
If in any doubt, please contact a suitably qualified electrician.
M O U N T I N G
The Bahama heater can be mounted in a horizontal (Fig. A) or
angled manner (Fig. C).
When mounting the Bahama heater in a horizontal manner, do not
position the heater at an angle more than 70° and less than 30°
from the mounting surface as shown in Fig. A.
When mounting the Bahama heater in an angled manner, ensure to
leave a gap between the heater and mounting surface (See Fig. B -
DIM A). The heater should always be angled downwards when
mounting this way with the terminal box at the bottom of the
heater - see Fig. B. Do not position the heater at an angle more
than 45° and less than 30° to the horizontal as shown.
Always allow the heater to cool before attempting to reposition/
move. Never attempt to move the heater while it is switched on!

Observe the minimum safe distance between the heater body
and inflammable surfaces and objects when mounting.
Please refer to Table 1 for the recommended positioning of
the heater. Do not install the heater in a corner!
Do not mount the heater on plastic soffits and fascia boards
and ensure the mounting surface will suitably withstand the
radiant heat from the heater body.
Keep out of the reach of children.
1
. Securely fasten the Bahama bracket to the mounting surface
using the fixing holes in the bracket. Please refer to Table 1 for
recommended positioning of the heater.
2
. Fix in the required angular position by tightening the fixing bolt
on the bracket at the rear of the heater (Fig. C).
3
. Secure the supply cord to the mounting surface with a
suitable clip so the cord is directed away from the heater and is
not resting on the body or obstructing the air-vents.
Always isolate the heater from the mains supply when
adjusting the angular position.

In the event of heater failure, or for spare parts or advice, please contact Tansun Limited in the first
instance.
Disconnect from the mains before commencing any maintenance procedure including cleaning.
To ensure optimum heat effectiveness, it is recommended that that the guard and emitter are removed and
the reflector is wiped with a lint-free cloth before reassembling should the reflector show considerable signs
of dust or dirt.

Your new emitter should not be handled with bare hands. Remove finger marks with a soft
cloth and methylated spirits or rubbing alcohol. Finger marks will burn into the emitter’s quartz
glass causing premature failure.

It is very important that your replacement emitter is exactly the same as the one it was supplied with. Failure
to fit the exact same type could cause the heater to fail or even become dangerous especially when used in
an outdoor environment. Please contact Tansun Limited to purchase your replacement emitter and state the
model number of the heater you wish to fit the emitter to.
