Introduction
This heater has been designed for fitting in the space behind
the plinth of floor standing kitchen units or other fitted furniture
units. It is recommended that the heater is not installed under
cupboards used for storing perishable goods. It can be
accommodated in plinths with a minimum height of 120mm,
and is suitable for cupboards with a minimum width of
500mm - see
Fig. 1
.
Installation
The installation of this appliance should be carried out by a
competent electrician and be in accordance with the current
IEE wiring regulations.
Before undertaking installation work, ensure the electricity
supply is disconnected from any relevant fixed wiring.
The heater is more easily fitted during the installation of new
furniture units, or on existing furniture units if they can be
temporarily moved from their position against the wall. If an
existing furniture unit cannot be moved, then it may be
necessary to remove the back of the unit in order to gain
access to carry out the wiring installation.
Before installing the unit consider the location with respect
to the following;
•
The electrical supply and cable length.
•
Position heater to deliver heat effectively without
causing personal discomfort from overheating while
standing at work surfaces etc.
•
Minimum plinth height of 120mm and minimum
furniture unit width of 500mm.
THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Procedure
1. Cutting the aperture
Cut an aperture in the furniture unit to the dimensions shown
in
Fig. 2
. This must be positioned so that the minimum
distance from the bottom of the aperture to the TOP surface
of any floor covering is not less than *14mm.
If an overhang above the heater is greater than 75mm, then
a distance of at least 100mm must be maintained between
the overhang and the uppermost part of the heater.
* This dimension must be maintained above the top surface
of any floor covering material. All dimensions in millimetres.
2. Power supply connection
Check that the supply voltage details on the heater are in
accordance with your electricity supply. The appliance is
fitted with 1.4 metres of flexible cable type H05VV-F size 2 x
1.0mm for electrical connection. The cable may be used to
connect the heater to the fixed wiring of the premises through
a suitable connection box. The supply circuit to the heater
must incorporate a double pole isolating switch having a
contact separation of at least 3mm. The power supply cable
should be routed from the furniture unit to the connection
box, ensuring that the cable is left with enough slack to allow
removal of the appliance for maintenance. The cable must
be protected from any sharp edges. The isolating switch
must be accessible after installation of the unit and the
furniture.
3. Fitting the Rear Support Bolt
The heater is supplied with a rear support bolt - see ‘x’ in
Fig.
3
. Fit to the back of the appliance with the two nuts supplied
as shown in
Fig. 3
. The function of the rear support bolt is to
support the rear of the appliance, and the height should be
adjusted accordingly to ensure the appliance is level - see
‘Side View’ in
Fig. 1
.
4. Marking the Fixing Positions
Slide the heater into position in the furniture unit aperture -
see
Fig. 2
. Mark the four fixing holes. Remove the heater and
drill 2mm pilot holes.
5. Mounting the Heater into the furniture unit
When the cable connection has been made and the rear
support bolt adjusted, slide the heater into the aperture
ensuring that it is adequately supported and that the inlet
grilles are not obstructed. Use the four screws provided to
secure the heater to the furniture unit.
6. Remote Control
Insert 2 off 1.5 volt AAA batteries into the remote control
handset. The remote control may be placed when not in use
in the wall-mounted holster provided - see
