Introduction
This heater has been designed for fitting in the space behind the plinth of floor standing kitchen units or other fitted furniture
units. It is recommended that the heater is not installed under cupboards used for storing perishable goods. It can be
accommodated in plinths with a minimum height of 120mm, and is suitable for cupboards of 500mm width and above.
Installation
The installation of this appliance should be carried out by a competent electrician and be in accordance with the current
IEE wiring regulations.
Before undertaking installation work, ensure the electricity supply is disconnected from any relevant fixed wiring.
The heater is more easily fitted during the installation of new furniture units, or on existing furniture units if they can be
temporarily moved from their position against the wall. If an existing furniture unit cannot be moved, then it may be
necessary to remove the back of the unit in order to gain access to carry out the wiring installation.
