General
The panel heater is designed for wall mounting on the wall brackets
supplied. It should only be operated when in the upright position as
shown.
All models are splashproof to IP24 standard.
UPX.../TI models are fitted with a 24 hour programme timer.
Before connecting the heater check that the supply voltage is the same
as that stated on the heater.
Please note that lit cigarettes, candles and oil burners, combined
with the convection effect of electric heaters can cause soot
deposits to build up on the surface directly above and to the sides
of the heater. This is not a fault of the heater. Extensive burning of
candles or smoking in the operating environment of this product
can produce heavy discolouration within a few months of use.
Wall Mounting
IMPORTANT
– The wall brackets supplied with the appliance must
be used. The heater should be positioned observing the minimum
clearances stated around the heater - see
Fig. 1
.
DO NOT
locate the heater immediately below a fixed socket outlet or
connection box.
1.
Remove wall mounting bracket from the back of the heater
by depressing the spring latch at the top of each bracket
- see
Fig. 2
.
2.
Fix the wall bracket securely to the wall through the four
screw holes provided.
Access to the controls
