THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY TO A
GREENHOUSE SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY A
COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE lEE WIRING REGULATIONS. IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT RESIDUAL CURRENT
CIRCUIT BREAKER (RCCB) PROTECTION IS
USED.
Using the heater in an
Airing Cupboard
The heater is suitable for use in an airing cupboard
where there is no other heat source, or where the
hot water cylinder is so well insulated that insufficient
heat is available for airing clothes.
The airing cupboard should be ventilated by means of
vents for example in the upper and lower parts of the
door. This will allow circulation and removal of moisture
laden air.
The heater should be positioned in the lower part of the
airing cupboard.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT PRECAUTIONS ARE
TAKEN TO PREVENT CLOTHES FROM FALLING
ON TO THE HEATER CAUSING IT TO OVERHEAT.
This could take the form of a wire mesh positioned
across the lower part of the airing cupboard not
less than 300mm above the heater. (Also refer to “Heater
Dimensions and Minimum Operating Distances”).
The product complies with the European Safety Standards EN60335-2-30 and the European EN5501 4, N60555-2 and EN60555-3 for
Electromagnetic Compatibility. This standards cover the requirements of EEC Directives 73/23 and 89/336.

The heat output of the MPH500 is similar to that of a small
single burner greenhouse paraffin stove and the MPH1000
has an output similar to that of a small double burner paraffin
stove. However, both have the advantage that they may be
switched on overnight as a precaution against frost with the
knowledge that they will not consume current on
the frost setting unless the temperature in the vicinity of the
heater falls below approximately 5°C. If only one heater is
being used in a full size greenhouse, it will be necessary to
partition off that which requires frost protection, using for
example heavy duty polythene sheeting, which can also be
used to line the glazing of the greenhouse to reduce
heat losses and therefore power consumption.
As a guide to the effectiveness of a single MPH500
Coldwatcher in a greenhouse, it will raise the temperature of
the shaded section of the greenhouse by approximately 8 – 9
°C. The MPH1000, however, would raise the average
temperature of the whole greenhouse shown by
Approximately the same level. For example, if the outside
temperature is -2ºC the MPH500 should be able to keep the
temperature at 6-7ºC within the partitioned off section. If
higher temperatures are required then the volume partitioned
off should be made smaller. In this respect the only accurate
method is to set the thermostat to the position which keeps
the temperature at the desired level by using a
maximum/minimum thermometer, positioned in the most
critical part of the area to be heated. Although the heater is
designed to be splash-proof it is recommended that it be
removed during periods when spraying is being carried out in
the greenhouse.
Clothing, bed linen or similar items
must
not be
stored in this space if there is
any
possibility of their
falling on to or against the heater or coming within
150 mm of the front or sides of the heater. A clear
space of 300 mm
must
similarly be left above the
heater.
If this space is to be used for storing such items, a
further mesh should be fixed not less than 150mm
from the front of the heater.
