HANDLING AND UNPACKING
The ‘Distinction’ model is supplied with the fascia fitted to the heater. We recommend
that this is removed before continuing with the installation. To do this, remove the two
thumbscrews at the base of the heater, pull the bottom of the fascia forward and lift the
fascia clear of the heater.
Fascia parts may be covered in protective film. Ensure that this has been removed
before using the heater.
Before continuing any further with the installation of this heater please read the
