INSTALLATION

1. 

ENSURE THAT FIXING KIT HAS BEEN 

LOCATED BEFORE DISPOSING OF 
PACKAGING.

Remove the front panel by removing the 

three screws along its bottom edge. With 

hands positioned on each side of the panel, 

lift upwards to unhook the top edge whilst 

pressing down on the top panel with your 

thumbs.  The panel can now be lifted clear 

and set to one side.

Remove the packing pieces from the slots 

on the inner front (3 on the WMF718i and 4 

on the WMF724i).

2. 

Remove the inner front panel by 

unscrewing the screws along its top and 

sides.  As the front insulation is attached 

care must be taken when lifting this panel 

from the heater and placing it to one side.

Remove the three inner guards by removing 

the screws along their bottom edges and 

sliding the guards up and off the base tray. 

Please note the location of each guard.

3. 

CONNECTION OF THE MAINS CABLE 

- Connect the restricted (E7) supply to the 

terminal block, marked “Storage Circuit”, 

having first passed the cable through a 

front cable clamp in the base. Connect the 

unrestricted (Peak) supply to the terminal 

block, marked “Fan/Boost Circuit”, having 

passed this cable through another cable 

clamp in the base.

At this point, if desired, an external fan/

boost timer may be 

fi

 tted to the heater by 

passing the two wires from the timer through 

the remaining cable clamp, and connecting 

them across the terminal block, marked 

“Timer”, having already removed the link 

fi

 tted across this block at the factory. 

IMPORTANT: When using an external 

fan/boost timer, the fan inhibitor must 

be disabled (see Section 4).
