Your energy-saver Econo-Heat wall panel heater is a whole room heater designed as an alternative to conventional locality heaters and other forms of high output heaters that use large amounts of electricity.

It operates at relatively low surface temperatures (approximately 75°C - 90°C, depending on the ambient temperature), and uses minimal electricity. There are numerous advantages to using Econo-Heat electric wall panel heaters. They are energy efficient, economical, effective, eco-friendly, save on floor space, are safer to use around children and pets, operate at the same electricity cost of just four incandescent light bulbs and can be painted to match any décor with PVA or emulsion type paint (do not use oil based paint). Econo-Heat wall panel heaters are designed to be left on for long periods of time, giving you comfortable background heat at a low cost. This is similar in concept to a central heating system – yet far less expensive.

Room SIzeS

Due to variable factors, it is impossible to specify what size panel or how many to install in a room. We do however, recommend the following:

• For countries with normal winters: 1 x 400 Watt or 2 x 260 Watt per approximately 12m² of floor area.

• For countries with very cold winters: 1 x 400 Watt or 2 x 260 Watt per approximately 9m² of floor area.

Econo-Heat wall panel heaters are International Safety Standards approved and have a two year warranty provided they are used correctly.

coNvectIoN techNoloGy

Econo-Heat wall panel heaters provide efficient room heating at a low cost. Using natural convection technology, heat is generated behind the heater in the space between the panel and the wall, which leads to an efficient up-draught of heat circulated into the room (the heated air comes out form behind the heater at the speed of 0.7m per second!). This principle of convection means that about 90% of the heat comes from the back of the panel, while only 10% is radiated from the front of the panel. Convection heating (whole room heater) is far more effective than radiated heating (freestanding locality heater).

optIoNAl pAINtING of the pANel

For painting the front of the heater, the logo plate can be easily removed and replaced by using a screwdriver.

Please follow the three easy steps below:

STEP A: Insert the tip of a small screwdriver into the bottom edge ‘slot’ of the logo plate and gently twist/pry off.

STEP B: Paint the front of the heater, while carefully avoiding the strips of adhesive tape at the bottom right-hand corner of the wall panel heater, where the logo plate attaches. Only use water-based PVA domestic paint (do not use oil-based paints). Allow the paint to dry before switching the heater on (approximately 12 – 24 hours).

STEP C: Once the paint is dry, clip the logo plate back into position on the heater by applying gentle pressure.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

dRiLL biT iNCLUdEd

The ECONO-KIT includes – 1 x 8mm drill bit ( I), 4 x hard wall spacer plugs, 4 x soft wall spacer plugs (II),

1 x drive tool ( III) and 4 x mounting pins.

Use the holes provided in the lightweight polystyrene packing (400 Watt model only) OR the heater itself as a template to mark the position of the four holes on a flush wall (ensuring the template is level optionally by using a spirit level).

4

Drill the holes using the 8mm drill bit included. For best results, Econo-Heat wall panel heaters should be mounted approximately 15cm above the floor and away from windows and doors.

a) HARD WALL [such as brick or concrete] – Push the hard wall spacer plugs into the wall and position the

Econo-Heat wall panel heater onto the four spacer plugs.

b) SOFT WALL [such as GIB® Plasterboard] – Screw the soft wall spacer plugs ( II) into the four holes in the wall until hand-tight. Use the drive tool ( III) and the supplied 8mm drill (I) bit as a lever/handle (or use a screwdriver ( IV

) by inserting the tip into the back of the drive tool, see diagram 3b) to screw the soft wall spacer plugs fully into the wall.

Lock the heater into position with the mounting pins (use a hammer to gently tap the mounting pins into place).
