PLEASE DON’T TAKE CHANCES
Site conditions may vary considerably and Creda cannot recommend
the correct wall fixings to be used. It is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure that adequate permanent fixing has been achieved.
Purely for guidance the suggested fixings are made for certain wall
materials but this list is not comprehensive or authoritative. Different
wall constructions will need different inserts. Note that inserts
incorporating plastic may be subject to shrinkage behind a warm
storage heater and are therefore not recommended.
Wall fixings can be obtained from local stockists
CARPETS:
For safety, the heater must be positioned in the room so that there at least 75mm (3”) free air space
all around it; under windows, ensure that curtains, when drawn, cannot touch or cover the heater casing. In
order to maintain stability, it is essential that the heater be placed on a level surface and care should be taken
to avoid irregular surfaces, such as may result from carpets or tiled surrounds partially protruding under the
heater. The heater feet are designed to go underneath a carpet rather than standing on it; this permits the
weight to be taken on a firm base and makes for neatness and ease of cleaning with vacuum cleaners, etc.
underneath the heater. Carpet gripper should be removed from behind the heater feet.
BRICKS:
The heater casing and the heater storage bricks with which it must be fitted, are delivered in separate
packages. The brick is common to all heaters, packed in pairs.
The brick catalogue number is 791402015. 7934 models have 8 bricks. 7935 models have 12 bricks.
7936 have 16 bricks.
WALL FIXING:
The heater must ALWAYS be mounted against, and fixed to a wall as it will not stand up by
itself. A detachable bracket is provided for screwing to the wall, the heater is then placed in position and fixed
to the bracket by a screw at each end. The heater must never be unscrewed or moved from the wall bracket
whilst it is loaded with bricks. THE HEATER IS VERY HEAVY AND WILL BE DANGEROUS IF ITS WALL FIXING
BECOMES INSECURE.
