EASY STEP-BY-STEP
INSTALLATION
INSTRuCTIONS
The ECONO-KIT includes: 1 x 8mm drill bit (I),
4 x hard wall spacer plugs, 4 x soft wall spacer
plugs (II), 1 x drive tool (III) and 4 x mounting
pins. Follow the steps below to ensure
the correct operation of this heater. This
heater must be mounted using the included
mounting kit.
1
Use the holes provided in the cardboard/
polystyrene packaging or the heater itself as a
template to mark the position of the four holes
on a flush wall (ensuring the template is level).
2
Drill the holes using the 8mm drill bit included.
For best results, ECONO-HEAT wall panel
heaters should be mounted approximately
6 inches above the floor/skirting board and
away from windows and doors.
3
a) HARD WALL
[such as brick or
concrete] – Push the hard wall spacer plugs
into the wall and position the ECONO-HEAT
wall panel heater onto the four spacer plugs.
b) SOfT WALL
[such as GIB®
Plasterboard, Gypsum board, Rhino board,
Dry wall] – Screw the soft wall spacer plugs
(II) into the four holes in the wall until hand-
tight. Use the drive tool (III) and the supplied
8mm drill bit (I) as a lever/handle (or use a
screwdriver (IV) by inserting the tip into the
back of the drive tool – see diagram 3b) to
screw the soft wall spacer plugs fully into the
wall. Position the ECONO-HEAT wall panel
heater onto the four spacer plugs.
4
Ensure that the heater is orientated correctly
with the switch at the bottom right hand
corner. Lock the heater into position with the
mounting pins (use a hammer to gently tap
the mounting pins into place).
CAuTION:
1. Never locate heater where it may fall into a
bathtub or other water container.
2. Before drilling into wall, check that the area is
free of electric wiring and pipes embedded in
the wall.
3. The heater must not cover, or be mounted
immediately below a power outlet, or
overheating of the outlet may occur.
OPERATING
INSTRuCTIONS
Your energy-saver ECONO-HEAT wall panel heater is
designed as an alternative to conventional bar heaters
and other forms of high output heaters that use large
amounts of electricity. It operates at relatively low surface
temperatures (approximately 165°F - 195°F, depending
on the ambient temperature), and uses minimal
electricity. There are numerous advantages to using
ECONO-HEAT electric wall panel heaters. They save
on floor space, are safer to use around children and
pets because of it’s low thermal conductivity, and can be
painted to match any décor with latex or emulsion type
paint (do not use oil based paint). ECONO-HEAT wall
panel heaters are designed to be left on for long periods
of time, giving you comfortable background heat at a
low cost. This is similar in concept to a central heating
system – yet far less expensive.
CLEANING YOuR HEATER
Ensure that your heater is switched off and unplugged
from the wall power outlet. Use a soft damp cloth to wipe
the front surface of the heater to remove any marks and
dry. Do not use abrasive cleaning materials as this can
damage the surface finish.
ROOm SIZES
Due to variable factors, it is impossible to specify what
size panel or how many to install in a room. We do
however, recommend the following:
•
For regions with normal winters: 1 x 400 Watt or 2 x
260 Watt per approximately 120 sq. ft.bof floor area.
•
For regions with very cold winters: 1 x 400 Watt or 2 x
260 Watt per approximately 90 sq. ft. of floor area.
ECONO-HEAT wall panel heaters are International
Safety Standards approved and have a 3-year warranty
provided they are used correctly.
CONVECTION TECHNOLOGY
ECONO-HEAT wall panel heaters provide efficient
room heating at a low cost. Using natural convection
technology, heat is generated behind the heater in the
space between the panel and the wall, which leads to
an efficient up-draught of heat circulated into the room.
This principle of convection means that about 90% of the
heat comes from the back of the panel, while only 10% is
radiated from the front of the panel. Convection heating
(whole room heating) is far more effective than radiated
heating (object heater).
fEATuRES & BENEfITS
•
Inexpensive to acquire, inexpensive to run.
•
Energy saving - save up to 50% or more on your
heating costs.
•
Whole room heater as opposed to the other object
heaters.
•
Efficiently warms a room of approximately 120 sq. ft.
(90 sq. ft. in very cold climates).
•
Uses efficient natural convection technology.
•
Safer for children and pets - No exposed elements,
