General Safety
Our Low Surface Temperature heaters
have been designed and built to the
NHS requirement for safe surface
temperatures which is that no surface
which can be touched by the user will
be more than 43 ºC (at a room
temperature of 21 ºC) This means that
our Low Surface Temperature heaters
out-perform the European Standard by
a significant margin.
The appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
Safety Monitor
As part of the intelligent control (see
section 15), the heater has built-in safety
monitoring. In the unlikely event of a
fault, the safety monitoring will help
prevent high surface temperatures. The
safety monitor will identify overheating,
fan failure and certain electronic faults.
When the safety monitor identifies a
fault, the heater runs in restricted mode.
However, in the event of a serious fault
the heater stops running. The heater
indicates a fault by beeping twice. It will
not beep again until the unit is switched
off and then back on, but the LED will
flash red continuously.
Thermally Operated Cut-Out
The appliance is fitted with a thermally
operated cut-out (TOC). In the unlikely
event that the safety monitor fails, this
safety device will switch the heater off if
the appliance overheats. If the TOC has
tripped there is a high possibility the
heater is faulty and should be checked
by a qualified person. The TOC can only
re-set after the appliance has cooled
down, however we advise not to do this
until the heater has been checked
In order to re-set the TOC, proceed as
follows:
•
Switch off appliance and leave
for approximately 10 minutes.
•
Switch appliance back on and
the TOC will re-set.
•
Ensure that the appliance is
functioning correctly. If the TOC
control operates again, the
appliance should be checked by a
qualified person.
The heater carries a ‘Do Not Cover’ label to
warn the user that if the appliance is
covered, there is a risk of overheating.

Mounting
This unit is for wall mounting only.
It is designed to be
very quiet in operation if mounted correctly. It must be
fitted using the wall bracket supplied which has been
specially designed to minimise noise levels.
Care must be
taken when handling the bracket not to bend or distort it.
When fitting more than one heater into a room we would
recommend that they are sited on the same wall to
optimise airflow and ensure quiet operation.

ALL
•
Ensure at least one of the wall brackets is secured
to the timber frame of the studded wall by using
standard wood screws.
•
Where the bracket is fitted onto plasterboard only,
ensure plasterboard fixings are used. Standard wall
plugs will not be suitable.
•
Where possible mount the heater(s) on an outside
wall to inhibit transfer of sound within the building.
NB:
Failure to follow the instructions and
recommendations provided could result in increased
noise levels.
To wall mount, the wall bracket supplied must be used.
Remove the wall bracket from the heater, with the
chains attached, by removing the 2 securing screws from
the top of the rear panel.
Fix the wall bracket to the wall using 4 screws.
Fig 1: Present the heater to the bracket
Fig 2: Locate the heater onto the bottom lugs via the 2
slots in rear panel. Hinge the heater upwards and attach
the chain assembly, then move the heater to the upright
position. The link plates should slide under the slotted
bracket lip.
Fig 3: Tighten both retaining screws.
The heater must not be located immediately below a
fixed socket outlet.
