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.

2. Power supply connection

Check that the supply voltage details on the heater are in accordance with your electricity supply. The appliance is fitted

with 2 metres of flexible cable type H05VV-F size 3 x 1.5mm for electrical connection. The cable may be used to

connect the heater to the fixed wiring of the premises through a suitable connection box. The supply circuit to the heater

must incorporate a double pole isolating switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm. The power supply cable

should be routed from the plinth space to the connection box, ensuring that the cable is left with enough slack to allow

removal of the appliance for maintenance. The cable must be protected from any sharp edges.

3. Fitting the Rear Support Bracket

The heater is supplied with a rear support bracket. Fit to the back of the appliance with the two screws supplied. Adjust

the rear support bracket so that the vertical distance from the underside of the appliance to bottom of the rear support

bracket equals the vertical distance from the floor in the cupboard space to the bottom of the aperture opening. The

slots in the rear support bracket allow it to be adjusted to the required height.

4. Marking the Fixing Positions

Slide the heater into position in the plinth aperture. Mark the six fixing holes (two on each side and two on the top

Remove the heater and drill 2mm pilot holes.

5. Mounting the Heater into the Plinth

When the cable connection has been made and the rear support bracket adjusted, slide the heater into the aperture

ensuring that it is adequately supported and that the inlet grille is not obstructed. Use the six screws provided to secure

the heater to the plinth. (See point 6 below for stainless steel grill fitting).

6. Stainless Steel Grille (BFH24TS model only).

The stainless steel grille is supplied (in the plastic covering) as an attachment for the front of the heater.

This should be offered up to the front of the heater before fixing the heater to the plinth. Use the six screws to secure it

to the front of the heater / plinth.

Operation

1 Switch on electricity supply to the heater.

2 Switching the switch marked “ l“energises

blower and illuminates neon indicator.

3 Select " l" and switches marked " ●" and “ “ as required:

1 + + = Cooling

1 + ●+ = 800W heating

●

1 + + = 1600W heating

1 + ●+ = 2400W heating

●

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.

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. Disconnect the electricity supply to the appliance either by switching off at the isolating switch panel.

B. 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.
