SITE R
REQUIREMENTS
The appliance can be flat wall mounted via the brackets on the rear panel with the fixings provided.
The wall should be relatively flat and not interfere with any of the ventilation slots in the rear panel.
The wall must be structurally sound and of a material capable of withstanding moderate heat. Finished
plaster, conventional wallpaper, dry-lined plaster board are examples of suitable materials. Materials
such as flock, blown vinyl, embossed paper and cloth wall coverings which are sensitive to even small
amounts of heat should be avoided, as some discolouration may occur.
It should be noted that the appliance creates warm convected air currents. These currents move heat
from the room surroundings to, and up the wall surfaces adjacent to the heater.
Installing the heater next to the wall coverings mentioned above or operating the heater where impu-
rities in the air, (such as tobacco smoke, soot from candles etc) may slightly discolour wall finishing.
If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined or timber framed construction then the integrity and
ability of the wall to carry the weight of the appliance must be confirmed. It is important in these cir-
cumstances that any vapour barrier and/or structural members of the house frame are not damaged.
If you are unsure of the ability of the wall to carry the weight and/or which type of wall fixing to use,
you should seek professional advice and obtain the correct fixings. Alternatively, find a more suitable
wall location.
