Installation Guide
Space Saver is primarily intended for installation
in the space beneath kitchen cupboards behind
the plinth. However, it can also be installed in
similar applications such as stair risers and other
built-in furniture.
This Space Saver model must not be installed in a
bathroom or other high humidity areas. Please
contact us on 01245 324560 for details of products
suitable for these applications.
Space Saver is designed for use on standard two-
pipe pumped central heating systems. Pipes are
15mm and either may be used as flow or return.
This product is not suitable for one-pipe systems.
Space Saver is classified as a fixed appliance and
electrical connection should be via a double pole 5A
fused spur with a minimum contact gap of 3mm.
The fused spur must not be directly above the
heater but should be accessible after completion of
the installation. If the pre-wired mains cable is
damaged, it must be replaced by either the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons. The appliance must be earthed.
Space Saver is fitted with overheat protection.
When operating in electric heating mode the
heater will automatically stop in the event of the
heating element reaching the cut out temperature.
To ensure adequate airflow, a minimum clearance
of 20mm between the top of the product and any
shelving is essential.
To avoid the possibility of vibration, this product
must be installed on a flat, even surface.
There must be no rear access to the product after
completion of the installation.
To conform with Building Regulations Part L (Part J
in Scotland), a remote room thermostat (Smith’s
Part No. RT002) can be used in conjunction with
this Space Saver fan convector.
The flexible installation hoses supplied are suitable
for use with either 15mm diameter copper pipe
or 15mm cross-linked polythene barrier pipe to
BS 7291. For all other types of pipes we
recommended the use of compression type
fittings.
Please note the guarantee may be invalidated if
this product is not installed and used in
accordance with this guide.
