IMPORTANT – The wall bracket supplied with the heater must be used.

IMPORTANT – All packaging should be disposed of in an appropriate manner.

OVERHEATING WARNING

WARNING - In order to avoid overheating, do not cover or obstruct the heater. Do not

place material or garments on the heater, or obstruct the air circulation around the

heater, for instance by curtains or furniture, as this could cause overheating and a ﬁre

risk. NEVER cover or obstruct in any way the heat outlet slots at the top of the heater

or the air outlet slots in the base of the heater.

WARNING - THE SURFACES ON THIS HEATER CAN BE HOT.

The heater carries a warning ‘DO NOT COVER’ to alert the user to the risk of ﬁre that

exists if the heater is accidentally covered.

CAUTION - Some parts of this product can become very hot and cause burns.

Particular attention has to be given where children and vulnerable people are present.

For your safety this heater is ﬁtted with a thermal cut-out. In the event that the product

overheats for some reason, the cut-out prevents excessive temperatures on the

product by cutting the power to the heater. Once the heater has cooled down, it will

reset automatically, it will continue to cycle on and o automatically until the reason for

overheating is removed.

The display screen may ﬂash red to indicate the product has overheated. To reset the

display, remove the obstruction and hold Enter for 10 seconds.

SERVICING AND REPAIRS

WARNING - Servicing and product repairs should only be undertaken by the

manufacturers approved service agent or a similarly trained or qualiﬁed person, using

only exact manufacturer approved spare parts.

PLEASE NOTE: Household dust, lit cigarettes, candles and oil burners, combined with

the convection eect of electric heaters can cause signiﬁcant 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.

1. Place the heater within its packaging

ﬂat on the ground with arrows printed

on the base of the carton pointing

upwards.

2. Feet are ﬁtted in the default position

(Xposition) and can be moved to

the outside position (Yposition) if

necessary. (Fig. 1a and Fig. 1b). NB:

Repositioning of feet may be required

depending on ﬂoor arrangement (e.g.

replacing an installation).

Stand the heater on its feet before

removing the packaging.

CAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN NOT TO

REST THE HEATER UPON THE ROOM

TEMPERATURE SENSOR HOUSING. (Fig. 1b)

Dispose of packaging in an appropriate way.

Read these instructions carefully before

proceeding any further with the installation.

3. Ensure the heater is stable before removing the screws which hold the bottom grille

panel in position. (Fig. 2) Set the bottom grille to one side, avoiding its sharp edges

when handling.

4. Remove the two screws securing the front panel, located at the bottom of the heater

(Fig. 3). Once removed set carefully to one side to avoid damage.

NOTE - Retain these screws for reassembly. If misplaced, M4 x 10 Tritap screws must be

used. IMPORTANT - Do not use the outer top panel or the rear heat shield to lift or carry

the heater.

The heater must be securely ﬁxed to a wall. Screws with suitable wall ﬁxings for solid

walls are provided. If other wall types are encountered it is the installer who must

choose the most suitable ﬁxing.

SUGGESTED FIXINGS

SOLID BRICK/BLOCK: No. 10 size high temperature resistant plastic inserts, 8mm drill

bit. Drill hole 15mm deeper than plastic insert length.

PLASTERBOARD - If possible locate studding and use No. 10 woodscrews directly

into the wood, otherwise M5 rawlplug intersets are suitable.

NOTE: FOR OTHER WALL TYPES (eg. timber frame and hollow concrete) SEEK

SPECIALIST ADVICE.

If the ﬂoor is carpeted then the carpet should be slit and underlay cut away to allow

the feet to rest ﬁrmly on the ﬂoor. Carpet gripper must be locally removed so that the

feet may rest in a level position.

This appliance is heavy. The ﬂoor must be checked to ensure that it is capable of

bearing the weight of the unit, up to 165kg.

This Heater is rated IPX4

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ATTEMPT TO MOVE OR REPOSITION

THIS HEATER WITHOUT SEEKING EXPERT ADVICE. THE HEATER SHOULD

NEVER BE FREED FROM THE WALL WITH ENERGY CELLS INSIDE.

USECAUTIONWHENINSTALLINGTHISPRODUCT,UNPAINTED METALWORK

CAN HAVE SHARP EDGES.

IMPORTANT Head of wall ﬁxing screw must be ﬂanged pan head type and have a

diameter no less than 11mm. No countersunk headed screws to be used for wall ﬁxing.

Installing the Heater

Fig. 4 Fig. 5

5. Place the heater in its ﬁnal position and mark the ﬁxing holes through the location

holes visible through the back of the heater.

6. Six ﬁxing positions must be selected for models XLE100, XLE125, XLE150 and at

least 4 ﬁxing positions for models XLE050 and XLE070. Fig. 6.

Common ﬁxing points for all heater sizes are shown in both Fig. 4 and Fig. 5.

Mark the positions for the ﬁxing holes towards the bottom of each slot, this allows the

heater to settle once the energy cells have been ﬁtted.

Move the heater away from the wall, drill the holes and ﬁt the wall ﬁxings best suited

to the application.

Secure the heater to the wall using correct quantity of screws required per model,

using the appropriate screw ﬁttings.

NB: Do not fully tighten screws until energy cells are fully loaded to ensure full

weight is on feet and not on the wall ﬁxings.

NOTE: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANY SCREWS BE REMOVED

WITHOUT FIRST REMOVING ALL ENERGY CELLS FROM THE HEATER.

NEVER FREE THE HEATER FROM THE WALL WITH ENERGY CELLS REMAINING

INSIDE THE HEATER CAVITY.

NOTE: ANY FIXING DROPPED INTO HEATER MUST BE RETRIEVED AS THEY MAY

IMPACT PRODUCT SAFETY OPERATION.

Warning: Before obtaining access to terminals, all supply circuits must

be disconnected.

7. The heater leaves the factory conﬁgured to operate with two mains supplies, a 24

hour peak supply and an o peak switched supply. (Fig. 7)
