Using the wall mounting bracket as a guide (see ‘a’ in Fig. 3) mark off the 
hole positions on the wall or ceiling (see Dim 424 in Fig. 1). A minimum 
height of 1.8metres is required from fl oor to bracket. Fix the bracket in

and plugged (using a spirit level as a guide ensure bracket is level) Solid 
brick or concrete block walls must be drilled and plugged (using a spirit 
level as a guide ensure bracket is level), due to different types of wall 
constructions fi xings are not included, ensure the correct fi xings are used. 
The plug must be located in the solid part of the wall, not just in the plaster 
layer. The plug must be located in the solid part of the wall, not just in the 
plaster layer. For panelled internal walls or ceilings, it is best to locate the 
studding, position the heater fi xing bracket accordingly and use screws 
supplied. If it is not possible to locate the studding, use type M5 Rawlplug 
inserts, making the 10mm holes with a drill rather than a bradawl or a 
screwdriver. Locate the heater on the mounting bracket ensuring that the 
pozi-head screws are fully engaged in the slots of the bracket.It is important 
that the serrated metal washer (a) is located between the heater holding 
bracket (b) and the wall mounting bracket (c). Adjust heater to the required 
angle then fi rmly tighten the fi xing screw (d) inside the endcap (e) using a 
cross-head screwdriver (f) as shown in Fig. 4.

access to the terminals for connection of the supply cable - see Fig. 6. 
Insert the mains cable down the outside of the back panel (not on inside) 
and through the rear entry cable clamp and make connection as shown 
in Fig. 6 (see also Fig. 7 for detailed views of cable clamp). Connection 
to fi xed wiring should be made through an adjacent minimum 20 amp 
double-pole switch. Re-secure the outlet grille. Ensure that the air-curtain 
is securely fastened and that the supply cable is fi rmly clamped before 
operating the appliance.
