INTRODUCTION INSTALLATION Our sleek Edge heater is designed to be mounted vertically direct onto any wall surface to save space and blend into your space. Make sure your Edge is mounted at least 10cm from the floor, 80cm away from other objects in front and has at least 50cm cleaance to the left and right sides. Popular for both patio and covered/indoor spaces, the Edge is rated at 2000W and its carbon fibre infrared technology will comfortably heat up to 14m 2. Simple hook and slot mounting makes installation easy, while safety is always paramount. We use an innovative safe-touch housing where temperature cannot exceed 60-degrees, as well as having a flocked-grill for maximum protection. The high waterproof rating of IP55 means it s built to withstand the elements, whether wind, snow or rain, and hence suitable for outdoors installation. For convenience the Edge comes with a remote control so that the heater can be controlled from a distance, and they also have a handy built-in timer and an eco-mode that turns off the heater if the sensor cannot detect people within the vicinity. E D Use the Sleeve Anchors (4 x E) to nail the Slot Bracket (D) on the wall vertically as shown. Recommended height: To mount your heater 25-40cm high from the floor, height of the Slot Bracket s (D) upper edge on the wall should be 85-100cm. Install the mains socket (bottom edge) 40-55cm vertically higher than the Slot Bracket s upper edge. If the wall mains socket is there already, to make a flush mounting, you need to vertically fix the Slot Bracket 8cm (minimum) below the socket s bottom edge. Make sure the Slot Bracket is at least 70cm high from the floor.
