This product should be mounted safely to solid wall or ceiling surfaces only.
NOTE. Infra red technology is used for the remote control link, the range is 8 meters in line of
sight.
If the remote control becomes lost, switch off at the mains supply for at least 30 seconds and
select ‘MAN’ for Manual Operation.
Ensure the supply cables are of adequate current carrying capacity and are protected
by a suitable fuse.
If the appliance is mounted in a toilet or washroom, the appliance should be mounted
such that no part of it can be touched by a person using a fixed bath or shower.
If the appliance is mounted in a toilet or washroom an isolating switch must be provided
outside the washroom adjacent to the entrance door.
Remote Control (AC3RN model only)
Insert 2 off 1.5 volt AAA batteries into the remote control handset.
Switch the heater to ‘ AUTO ’ for automatic operation.
Electrical
Press the I button to activate the heater, and O to turn off.
If the remote control does not operate the heater, first check batteries, then point remote directly
at the heater before operating.
The remote control may be placed, when not in use, in the provided wall-mounted holster (see
Fig. 8). Screws and rawlplugs for wall fixing the holster are provided.
The installation of this appliance should be carried out by a competent electrician and be in accordance with the current IEE wiring regulations.
Important Battery Information
Warning : In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out,
this appliance MUST NOT be supplied through an external switching device, such as a
timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
This appliance may be either wall-mounted or fixed to a ceiling - see Fig. 2 for various fixing
positions and ‘Installation’ see section below, for details on fixing. Heaters may be mounted end
to end for wide doorways.
Discard leaking batteries.
Dispose of batteries in the proper manner according to Provincial and local regulations. Any battery
may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all the batteries
are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in a fire or if an attempt is made to charge a
battery not intended to be recharged.
Installation
Thermal Safety Cut-outs
Using the wall mounting bracket as a guide (see ‘a’ in Fig. 3) mark off the hole positions on the wall
or ceiling (see ‘B’ in Fig. 1). A minimum height of 1.8metres is required from floor to bracket. Fix the
bracket in position by following steps as described under the heading ‘Wall or Ceiling Mounting’.
The power supply to the heating elements will be interrupted if one or a combination of the following
abnormal events occurs.
1. Air inlet or outlet grilles are obstructed.
Fixing Positions
Wall or Ceiling Mounting
Solid brick or concrete block walls must be drilled and plugged (using a spirit level as a guide
ensure bracket is level) and plugged with rawlplugs supplied. The plug must be located in the
solid part of the wall, not just in the plaster layer.
For panelled internal walls or ceilings, it is best to locate the studding, position the heater fixing
bracket accordingly and use screws supplied. If it is not possible to locate the studding, use type
M5 Rawlplug inserts, making the 10mm holes with a drill rather than a bradawl or a screwdriver.
Locate the heater on the mounting bracket ensuring that the pozi-head screws are fully engaged
in the slots of the bracket.
It is important that the serrated metal washer (a) is located between the heater holding bracket (b)
and the wall mounting bracket (c). Adjust heater to the required angle then firmly tighten the fixing
screw (d) inside the endcap (e) using a cross-head screwdriver (f) as shown in Fig. 4.
2.
Internal ventilation is impaired due to build up of dust and fluff.
3.
Blower unit stalls.
Note : If the cut-out operates, the fan may continue to run impairing the performance of the heater.
If this occurs, turn off unit immediately and follow the reset procedure below.
Procedure for resetting cut-out
1.
2.
Disconnect power supply.
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 ).
3.
After a short period of time (allowing the heater to cool down) the cut-out will reactivate
allowing electrical supply to be returned to the heater thus permitting normal operation.
Electrical connection
Maintenance
Release the screws at either end of the air-outlet grille (see Fig. 5) to gain access to the terminals
for connection of the supply cable - see Fig. 6.
Insert the mains cable down the outside of the back panel (not on inside) and through the rear
entry cable clamp and make connection as shown in Fig. 6 (see also Fig. 7 for detailed views
of cable clamp).
WARNING : Disconnect the heater from the mains supply before carrying out maintenance.
This product is designed to require no maintenance. If operated in an extremely dusty environment
it may however be necessary to carefully brush clean the air-inlet grille from time to time.
Recycling

Fig. 7b shows cable clamp detail for AC45N & AC6N models. Note : Part ‘A’ of cable clamp is
flipped over to receive the larger cable.
Connection to fixed wiring should be made through an adjacent minimum 20 amp double-pole
switch for AC3N, AC3RN & AC45N models.
Connection to fixed wiring should be made through an adjacent minimum 30 amp double-pole
switch for AC6N model with a minimum separation of 3mm in each pole.
Re-secure the outlet grille.
Ensure that the air-curtain is securely fastened and that the supply cable is firmly clamped before
operating the appliance.

Settings -
Cleaning
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER SUPPLY before cleaning the heater.
Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaning powders or polish of any kind on the heater.
External appearance can be maintained by wiping occasionally with a damp cloth ; for stain removal,
a weak soap solution can be applied with a cloth and the surface wiped dry. Care must be taken
to avoid any moisture ingress into the product.
Ensure that dust or fluff does not accumulate inside the heater as this could lead to overheating of
the element. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any fluff which does accumulate.
