Introduction
This heater has been designed for fitting in the space behind the plinth of floor standing kitchen units or other fitted furniture
units. It is recommended that the heater is not installed under cupboards used for storing perishable goods. It can be
accommodated in plinths with a minimum height of 12Omm, and is suitable for cupboards of 500mm width and above.

The installation of this appliance should be carried out by a competent electrician and be in accordance with the current IEE
wiring regulations.
