5. FAN SPEED SELECTION 

- At this point 

the installer must choose between 

Normal/

High Fan 

or permanent 

High Fan 

option.

Option 1 - 

The heater is factory set at 

Normal Fan

. The fan will therefore:-

(a) Run at NORMAL when the boost option 

is not selected.

(b) Run at NORMAL when the boost 

is selected and the core is partially 

depleted.

(c) Automatically switch to HIGH when the 

boost is selected and the core is almost 

fully depleted.

Option 2 - 

If a 

High Fan 

is permanently 

required the installer must make the following 

adjustment.

(a) Loosen the two screws securing the wires 

to the resistor block.

(b) Move the right wire to the left of the 

block and tighten both wires in the left 

connection point of the resistor block 

effectively taking the resistor out of circuit.  

See Fan/Boost Circuit Diagram

6. 

Ensure that any slack is pulled back 

through each clamp and tighten the clamping 

screws.  Secure cables to base of heater 

using ties provided in 

fi

 xing kit.

7. 

Place the heater on its feet, and in the 

desired position against the wall - DO NOT 

LIFT THE HEATER BY ITS TOP PANEL! 

Ensure that the heater is based on a 

fi

 rm 

level surface, at least 100mm from any end 

wall, and at least 100mm below any shelf or 

similar projection. Cut away the gripper rod 

or carpet which would prevent the heater 

sitting 

fi

 rmly on the 

fl

 oor.

8. 

Mark the position of the two outside 

corners of the wall bracket with the heater 

pushed tight against the wall. Remove the 

wall bracket from the heater by removing the 

screw at each end.  Place the heater to one 

side and reposition the bracket against the 

wall using the corner marks for alignment.

9. 

THE FOLLOWING MUST BE APPLIED 

WHEN FIXING THE HEATER TO THE 

WALL BRACKET.

i)  If no skirting board is present secure 

the heater through the wall bracket slots 

closest to the wall.

ii) If 

100mm (4 in.) skirting is present secure 

the heater through the outer slots.

iii) If skirting taller that 150mm (6in.) is 

present this must be reduced to 150mm 

(6 in.) over the entire width of the heater 

plus 25mm (1 in.) at each end.

Do not fully tighten these screws until the 

bricks are loaded into the heater as some 

settling of the heater may occur.

NOTE: NEVER REMOVE THESE SCREWS 

WITHOUT FIRST UNLOADING THE 

HEATER.

10. 

Remove one element to allow access for 

the back rows of bricks. On the WMF724i 

remove the element to the right of centre 

and on the WMF718i remove the central 

element.
Loosen the two screws securing the element 

tails in the ceramic connector block, and lift 

the element up and out of the heater.

11. 

Carefully 

fi

 t the bottom row of the back 

layer of bricks placing the two end bricks 

into position 

fi

 rst. 

Ensure that the recess 

in the bricks is toward the rear of the 

heater with the narrow end to the bottom.  

Repeat this with the top row of the back 

layer of bricks but the narrow end of the 

recess must be to the top.

Re

fi

 t the element which had been removed 

by feeding the tails down through the hole 

in the base insulation and into the connector 

block.  Ensure the element is fully pushed 

home, then securely tighten the two screws 

in the block.

12. 

Fit the front layer of bricks with the 

recess toward the front of the heater.
The complete core will comprise:
WMF718i : 3 x 4 brick columns
WMF724i : 4 x 4 brick columns

13. 

Replace the inner front, complete with 

insulation, by locating its bottom edge behind 

the front lip of the chassis and inserting the 

retaining screws along the top and sides.

Refit the three inner guards in their 

respective locations.

Replace the outer front by hooking the upper 

grille into its retaining slot on the top panel, 

lower into position and replace the three self 

tapping screws along the bottom edge.

14. 

Finally, tighten the screws at each end 

of the wall bracket.  Ensure that all screws 

have been tightened as this is essential to 

maintain earth continuity.

4. 

The heater is 

fi

 tted with a fan inhibitor 

relay. This relay will inhibit the operation of 

the fan during the off peak periods.  If the fan 

operation is required (eg. if using external 

fan/boost timer) during the off peak period 

then the relay switch should be switched to 

the relay off  position.

Factory set 
(relay ON position)

Relay OFF position

Four 

fi

 xing positions must be chosen for 

the WMF724i and three for the WMF718i.  

Mark the positions for the 

fi

 xing holes - two 

at the extreme ends and others spaced 

evenly between them. Remove the bracket 

from the wall, drill the holes in the positions 

marked, and insert suitable 

fi

 xings previously 

described. Secure the wall bracket to the wall 

using the correct fasteners.
