FITTING THE HEATER

The installation of this heater requires a reasonable level of DIY skills.
Please read this guide thoroughly before commencing installation and if in doubt,
seek help from a competent person

Do I need any tools?

You will need the following tools: -

Pozidrive / Phillips / cross head screwdriver.

This should have a number 2 size

tip. 

Power drill

(Preferably with hammer action). This is only required if drilling into

brick work. An appropriate size drill bit will be required for the wall plugs supplied.

Where can I fit the heater?

This heater can be fitted onto a flat wall. Ideally fix the heater through to brick work,
block work or the internal wooden frame of a plaster board wall. If  the wooden frame
behind the plasterboard is not accessible use a minimum of four heavy duty cavity
fixings.
We do not recommend that the heater be fitted to a wall covered in blown vinyl
wallpaper or polystyrene tiles etc.
It is important that the heater is never fitted under a shelf  or soft furnishings such as
curtains.
If the heater is to be mounted on to a plasterboard wall that has a wooden frame behind
it then the integrity and ability of the wall to carry the weight of the appliance must be
confirmed. It is important that any vapour control barrier is not damaged, and that the
structural members of the house are not damaged. We recommend a minimum 12mm
thick plasterboard.
