Convector Heater DEC Series Important Instructions When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following: 1. Read all instructions before using this convector. 2. This convector is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. The grille directly in front of the heater outlet becomes hot during heater operation. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9m) from the front of unit. 3. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used near children or invalids and whenever the convector is left operating and unattended. 4. The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. 5. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. 6. Do not operate if the convector has malfunctioned, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact an authorized service facility for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment or repair. 7. Do not use outdoors. 8. Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the heater. 9. Do not locate the convector immediately below a fixed socket or connection box. 10. To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intake or exhaust in any manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked. 11. All electrical heaters have hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored or where the unit will be exposed to flammable vapours. 12. Do not modify this convector. Use it only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury to persons. 13. Always disconnect power before performing any cleaning, maintenance or relocation of the convector.
SAVE THESE Instructions Installation Instructions
Warning: The installation of the convector heater must comply with the applicable Local and/or National Electrical Codes and utility requirements. This installation should be entrusted to duly qualified personnel where required by law.
! NOTE: Due to the precision of the convector’s control circuits, the unit is highly sensitive to air drafts, cold floors,

etc. To ensure the thermostat operates efficiently, be sure to carefully choose the units location before installing. Avoid installing unit in an area that is susceptible to cold drafts, or near a cold floor. Warning: The convector must be installed in a location preventing anyone using a bath or shower from touching the control devices. Warning: The convector must not be located directly below a fixed power outlet. CAUTION: The minimum distances between the convector and any object in its immediate vicinity must be observed to ensure correct operation (Figure 1).

1. Remove the tie wrap from electric cable. 2. Remove the mounting bracket from the rear of the convector casing by squeezing the release tabs at the top of the bracket and pulling out of the casing. 3. Place the bracket on the wall at the desired location, and mark the mounting hole locations using the bracket as a template (Figure 2). 4. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall (Figure 2) using suitable screws (not included). 5. Install a power receptacle box on the wall next to the convector mounting bracket. ! NOTE: The heater can be installed so the wall receptacle box can be hidden. 6. Feed the power supply wiring into the power receptacle box. 7204310100R05

7. Install the convector onto the bottom tabs of the mounting bracket. 8. Snap the top of the convector casing onto the top tabs to secure the convector to the bracket. 9. Connect the power supply wiring to the convector heater wiring (Figure 3). 10. Install receptacle box cover. ! NOTE: If the power receptacle box is located behind the heater the heater is to be wire connected and then installed to the mounting bracket. Warning:Do not cover your heating unit in any way. The “DO NOT COVER” warning tag is there to remind you that any materials covering the units can catch fire. WHITE WIRE – POWER

Description
The unit comprises of: 1. A thermostat control knob graduated MINI to MAXI, located in the control box on the right side (Figure 4). 2. A mode selection knob, indicating the various operating modes (Figure 3). i. “PROG” position - The temperature will be the value set using the thermostat control knob. ii. “STOP” position - The convector will be placed on standby mode. iii. “COMF” position - The temperature will be the value set using the thermostat control knob. iv. “ECO” position - The temperature will be the value set using the thermostat control knob less 3.5°C ±0.5° v. “FREEZE GUARD” position - The temperature will remain at around 7°C (45°F) regardless of the setting selected on the thermostat control knob.

Setting the room temperature
For a perfect adjustment: 1. Place a thermometer at the center of the room 4ft (1.20m) off the ground (doors and windows closed) 2. Set the mode selection control knob to the comfort position “COMF”. 3. Set the thermostat control knob to the maximum position. 4. Once the desired ambient temperature is reached, for example, when the thermometer indicates 20°C (68°F), slowly turn back the thermostat control knob until the heating indicator light goes off. Once set, the thermostat will automatically maintain this temperature in the room by switching the power supply to the unit on and off as required.
Operation 1. This convector must be properly installed before it is used. 2. This unit is supplied with a manual reset temperature limit cutout, which will switch-off the heater should it overheat for any reason. 3. If the cutout operates, it is the result of abnormal overheating. The source of the overheating must be found and corrected. 4. After the source of the problem is found and corrected, the reset button can be pushed-in to re-energize the convector. The reset button is located on the back of the convector casing, along the top edge.
Economic Operation 1. Do not overheat your home by degrees above 20°C (68°F) as your power consumption could increase by 10%. 2. Cut off the power supply to your heating units (“STOP” position) when you vent your rooms for any lengthy period of time. 3. Whenever your don’t use a room (guest room) or if you don’t use your home for any extended period of time (vacation), set your heating units to the “FREEZE GUARD” position. ! NOTE: To ensure regular operation of all the heating units in a single room, the thermostats must be set to the same temperature. CAUTION: Avoid operating a few heating units continuously to heat your entire home as this can result in disorders; unbalanced heating, reduced comfort, excess consumption and micro-condensation.
! NOTE: Switch off the heating units in rooms where a chimney is being used to avoid wasted energy and to prevent circulating soot and ashes through the convector and into the room. REMOVING THE CONVECTOR Warning: Only qualified, approved personnel are authorized to work on our equipment. The convector must be disconnected from the power supply before starting any work. 1. Before removing the unit from its mounting bracket ensure the power is disconnected.
