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 12Omm, and is suitable for cupboards of 500mm width and above.  
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.  
Procedure  
1. Cutting the aperture in the Plinth  
Cut aperture in furniture unit plinth to  
dimensions shown.  
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 12mm and not more than 25mm.  
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.  
Note: If fitted in corner with adjacent  
cupboards to left hand side of heater then a  
distance of at least 150mm must be  
maintained between the left hand end of  
the heater and the front of the adjacent  
cupboard door.  
* This dimension must be maintained  
above the top surface of any floor covering  
material. All dimensions in millimetres.  
 
Operation of Thermostat  
1. The heater incorporates a variable thermostat which is controlled  
by a knob situated on the top right hand side of the front panel.  
The knob is marked *, 1 - 6, MAX, representing a temperature  
range of 5°C to 30°C. Lowest setting provides frost protection  
level.  
2. Turn thermostat knob to maximum. When the room has reached  
the desired comfort level turn back the knob until the thermostat  
just ' clicks ' off. If the knob is left in this position the room  
temperature will be maintained automatically at the chosen level.  
Remember  
If, when the heater is switched on, the room temperature is above that selected on the thermostat knob the heater will not  
operate. This is as it should be, and the thermostat is performing its function correctly. Should a higher temperature be  
required than the one selected, then it will be necessary to turn the thermostat knob to a higher setting to bring the heater  
into operation.  
Mains Indicator Neon Lens  
Located at the bottom left of the front panel, the ‘mains indicator neon lens’ is to indicate when there is electrical supply to  
the heater and comes on when the fan switch, on the remote switch assembly is selected.  
Cleaning & User Maintenance  
WARNING: DISCONNECT SUPPLY before carrying out maintenance.  
General Cleaning  
External appearance can be maintained by wiping occasionally with a  
damp cloth; for stain removal, a weak soap solution can be applied, then  
wipe dry.  
Internal Cleaning & Maintenance  
To help prevent the build up of dust and fluff in the heater it is advisable to  
apply the soft brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner to the grille  
occasionally (fig. 1).  
From time to time it may be necessary to remove the heater from the  
furniture unit so that the interior of the heater and the heater compartment  
can be cleared of any accumulated dust or fluff by means of a vacuum  
cleaner (fig. 2).  
To remove, unscrew the six fixing screws and withdraw the appliance from  
the plinth.  
To gain access to the inside of the appliance remove the screws securing  
the top cover.  
Clean the interior of the heater using the soft brush attachment of a  
vacuum cleaner, taking care not to damage the fan.  
Refit the top cover. The interior compartment of the furniture unit should  
also be cleared of dust and fluff using the vacuum cleaner nozzle (fig. 3).  
Remount the heater in the plinth ensuring the rear support bracket is still  
adjusted correctly. The electricity supply to the heater can now be  
switched back on.  
Safety – overheat protection  
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a thermal cut-out. In the event that the product overheats, the cut-out switches  
the heater off automatically. To bring the heater back into operation, remove the cause of overheating, then turn off the  
electrical supply to the heater for a few minutes. When the heater has cooled sufficiently reconnect and switch on the  
heater.  
If the cut-out operates repeatedly, contact your supplier  
Procedure for resetting the cut-out;  
A.  
B.  
Disconnect the electricity supply to the appliance either by switching off at the isolating switch panel.  
Determine what has caused the cut-out to operate and rectify.  
(Note : This should only be undertaken by competent persons with experience of repairing electrical appliances  
and in full knowledge of the possible hazards involved ).  
C.  
After a short time delay to allow the appliance to cool down, all that is required to return the heater to normal  
operation is to switch the electricity supply back on.  
 
Replacing 13amp fuse  
The 13amp fuse must be ASTA approved to BS1362. The fuse may be replaced by pulling out the fuse holder, marked  
‘fuse’, on the remote switch assembly until the fuse is dislodged. The new fuse should then be located and held in position  
while the fuse holder is pushed back into position.
