For KICKSPACE
®
500 DUO ECO a fused (5A) electrical spur
with a switch having 3mm separation on all poles must be
provided in an easily accessible position adjacent to the unit.
l
If the supply cord to KICKSPACE
®
500 DUO ECO is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similar qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
WARNING: KICKSPACE
®
500 DUO ECO models must be earthed.
Do not energise the electrical supply until the remaining stages of the installation have been completed.
l
The unit should be mounted on a clean and level floor area
under the cupboard base.
l
KICKSPACE

500 DUO ECO floor mounting (see Fig. 1a) - The
KICKSPACE
®
is normally fitted directly onto the floor and the
base of the unit is fitted with four mounting feet.
l
KICKSPACE
®
500 DUO ECO plinth mounting (see Fig. 1b) -
• As an alternative to floor mounting the unit may be fitted
into the plinth.
• A suitable support must be securely fitted to the floor.
• The top of the support must be level with the lower edge of
the cut-out when fitted.
l
Decide the position of the KICKSPACE
®
, mark out and cut the
plinth to the dimensions using table on page 8.
l
Complete connection to the central heating system according
to Section 3, Water Connection.
l
Position the KICKSPACE
®
under the cupboard in the required
location, with the front edge just behind the line of the plinth.
l
Replace the plinth and bring the KICKSPACE
®
forward into
the opening so the front edge projects approximately 10mm
through the plinth.
l
KICKSPACE
®
DUO ECO is fitted with a transit cover to
protect the electric element and to minimise risk of electric
shock prior to the grille being fitted. The cover must only be
removed with the electrical supply switched off immediately
prior to fitting of the grille.
l
Align the grille and secure it to the unit with two screws
supplied (use the shorter screws). (See Fig. 2).
l
Secure the unit/grille to the plinth with two screws supplied
(use the longer screws). (See Fig. 2).
l
Complete the electrical installation, switch on and test the
KICKSPACE
®
(see Fig. 3).
l
When installed in a kitchen consideration should be given to
storage of perishable goods in the cupboard above.
l
No rear access to the unit shall be available after installation.
l
The KICKSPACE
®
should only be used on closed circulation,
two pipe, pump assisted central heating systems.
l
For optimum fan convector heating performance the system
must be capable of providing sufficient hot water through the
heat exchanger. This means that:
1.
The minimum pipe size from boiler to fan convector must
be at least 15mm. Microbore pipe
MUST NOT
be used.
2.
Where the unit is fitted on to a system with other
emitters a separate circuit for the fan convector should be
considered to provide adequate water flow.
3.
The system water temperature on the return of the
KICKSPACE
®
must be above 43°C for the fan to switch on.
4.
This unit is NOT suitable for one-pipe systems.
5.
Optimum performance will require effective balancing of
the whole system.
6.
This unit must not be used to replace a radiator in an
existing system unless an adequate flow of water can be
guaranteed.
l
Connect valve ends of the flexible pipes to the KICKSPACE
®
.
Note:
The direction of the arrows on the valves are not
significant in this application (see Fig. 4).
l
Open valves fully, check pipe connections for leaks and vent
the heat exchanger. A vent screw is provided to vent the heat
exchanger.
