The Rio Grande heater is fitted with 5 meters of supply cable and a moulded plug, therefore it is
unnecessary to open the terminal box in order to carry out normal installation of this product and should
not be interfered with.
We recommend using a RCD where applicable.
Please observe the minimum safe distance between the heater body and any inflammable surfaces.
If the supply cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a
similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
When the electrical connection is outside, it is recommended that a waterproof socket is used for the
connection. Otherwise, the plug should be connected to a socket indoors.
If in any doubt, please contact a suitably qualified electrician.

The Rio Grande heater can be mounted in a horizontal or vertical manner as the emitter is a universal
burning type. The Rio Grande heater with lights should only be mounted horizontally.
When mounting the Rio Grande heater and heater with lights in a horizontal manner, do not position
the heater at an angle more than 90° and less than 30° as shown in Fig. A.
When vertically mounting the Rio Grande heater, ensure to leave a gap between the heater and
mounting surface (See Fig. C - dim A). The heater should always be angled downwards when
mounting this way with the terminal box at the bottom of the heater - see Fig. 4. Do not position the
heater at an angle more than 45° and less than 30° to the horizontal as shown.
Always allow the heater to cool before attempting to reposition/move. Never attempt to move the
heater while it is switched on!
Observe the minimum safe distance between the heater body and inflammable surfaces and objects
when mounting.
Please refer to Table 1 or 2 for the recommended positioning of the heater.
Keep out of the reach of children.
1. Securely fasten the Rio Grande bracket to the mounting surface using the fixing holes in the
bracket. Please refer to Table 1 or 2 for recommended positioning of the heater.
2. Fix in the required angular position by tightening the fixing bolt on the bracket at the rear of the
heater.
3. Secure the supply cable local to the Rio Grande using a ‘P’ clip (supplied) so the cable is
directed away from the heater and is not resting on the body or obstructing the air-vents.
Always isolate the heater from the mains supply when adjusting the angular position.

In the event of heater failure, or for spare parts or advice, please contact the manufacturer in the first instance.
Disconnect from the mains before commencing any maintenance procedure including cleaning.
To ensure optimum heat effectiveness, it is recommended that that the guard and lemitter are removed and the reflector is wiped with a lint-free
cloth before reassembling should the reflector show considerable signs of dust or dirt.

It is very important that your replacement emitter is exactly the same as the one it was supplied with. Failure to fit the exact same type could
cause the heater to fail or even become dangerous especially when used in an outdoor environment.
Please contact Tansun Limited to purchase your replacement lamp and state the model number of the heater you wish to fit the lamp to.
