Disconnect the air temperature sensor lead at the small plug.
Refer to Figure 2-10.

Once disconnected, safely store the front grille for now where
it will not be damaged or scratched for re-fitting after the Solo
Hideaway fan convector has been installed.
Position the Solo Hideaway unit into the opening in the plinth/
baseboard. Mark the centres of the four fixing holes. Refer to
Figure 2-5.
Withdraw the Solo Hideaway unit from the plinth/baseboard and
drill the four fixing holes to suit the fixing screws to be used (not
supplied).
Remove the rubber bungs from the flow and return connections
on the fan convector and check that the bleed screws on the flow
connection are both closed.
It is recommended that 15mm isolation valves (not supplied)
are fitted to the flow and return connections before connecting
the flow and return pipework. These valves must be of the ‘full
bore’ type to ensure no added restriction to the flow and return
pipework.
Connect the heating system flow and return pipes to the
corresponding flow and return connections on the Solo fan
convector unit using the two flexible hoses (supplied). These are
long enough to allow the fan convector to be completely removed
from the plinth/baseboard when they are connected.
Connect the electrical supply to the Solo fan convector unit. Refer
to Section 4 (Electrical).
! nOtE !
Do NOT fit the Solo Hideaway unit into the opening until
the system has been filled and the fan convector(s) vented.
When all the Solo fan convectors have been connected to the
system pipework, the system can be filled.
Once the system is filled, open the HIGHEST of the two bleed
screws on the flow pipe to vent the fan convector heat exchanger.
Repeat this with all other fan convectors on the system.
Set the mains ON/OFF switch, on the right-hand side of the unit,
to ON.
Position the Solo Hideaway unit into the opening and carefully
push fully into place.
! nOtE !
Ensure that the space into which the solo Hideaway is
being fitted is clear of any debris, fluff, dust, etc.
Whilst fitting the fan convector into the opening ensure that the
flexible hoses are not kinked or twisted.
Secure the Solo Hideaway unit to the plinth/baseboard using four
screws (not supplied) in the previously drilled holes.
Lay the grille face down in front of the Solo Hideaway unit.
Reconnect the control panel ribbon connector and the air
temperature sensor lead at the small plug.
Position the grille on the front of the Solo Hideaway unit and
secure using the four fixing screws previously removed.
Carefully remove the protective covering from the grille.
When all the Solo fan convectors have been installed they can be
commissioned. Refer to Section 5 - Commissioning.
