Having decided on the location of the heater it is necessary to drill 2 fixing holes
8mm diameter by 43mm deep at 417mm centres on a horizontal line at a minimum
height of 400mm from the floor. Allowance must be made for the final floor
covering, carpet etc, and if any skirting boards are present, the fixing holes must be
a minimum of 400mm above the top edge of the skirting board. Using the plastic
plugs and fixing screws provided, attach 2 of the fixing brackets to the wall. The
other pair of fixing brackets must be attached to the base of the heater using the feet
retaining screws so that the brackets project out at the rear of the heater and space
the bottom edge away from the wall.
If required, these brackets may also be secured to the wall using the remaining
fixing screws and plastic wall plugs. If this option is chosen it is suggested that the
heater is hung on the upper brackets and the hole positions for the lower brackets is
then marked on the wall, prior to drilling the holes for attachment purposes.
Operation of the heater
NOTE:
It is normal when the heaters are turned on
for the first time or when they are turned on after
having not been used for a long period of time the
heaters may emit some smell and fumes. This will
disappear when the heater has been on a short while.
HS2020XCN Convector heater with
switches and thermostat
Choose a suitable location for the heater, taking into
account the safety instructions above.
Insert the plug of the heater into a suitable socket.
Turn the thermostat knob (
in figure 2)
fully in a
clockwise direction to the maximum setting.
Turn on the heating elements by means of the rocker
switches on the side panel (
in figure 2)
. When the
heating elements are on the switches will illuminate. For
maximum heat output both switches should be on.
When the desired room temperature has been reached, the thermostat knob should
be turned slowly anti-clockwise until the thermostat is heard to click off and the lights
on the element switches are seen to go out. After this the heater will keep the air
temperature in the room at the set temperature by switching on and off
automatically.
In its minimum (fully anti-clockwise) position, the thermostat provides a frost guard
position. In this position (depending on the size of the room) the heater will maintain
the temperature above freezing.
