DO NOT use power boards or double adaptors for this appliance.
This appliance MUST NOT be located immediately below or directly in front of a power point / electrical connection. The power point / electrical connection is to be within 1m of the appliance, yet should be located outside the physical footprint of the unit to prevent exposure to heat build-up behind the appliance.
If the heater is to be mounted on an incline such as a vaulted ceiling, ensure the power point / electrical connection is located at that lowest point of the appliance (see page 11 for details).
The appliance may be direct wired ONLY by a licensed electrical trades person in accordance with local regulations.

A NOTE ON ILLUSTRATIONS
The illustrations used in this manual are for explanatory purposes only and the shape of your unit may vary slightly from that which is shown in this manual.
RADIANT HEATING PRINCIPLES
Radiant heat is widely regarded as the most comfortable, healthiest and most natural form of outdoor heating available. This heating type is based on the same primary source of heat we know - the warmth of the sun. It warms you and the objects around you instead of the air.
The warmth felt from the sun is not warm air but infra-red energy. Like the sun, radiant energy from the heater moves in straight lines, directly warming the people and objects in its path which in turn acts as small heat convector', giving off their own gentle heat to enhance people feeling warm.
This radiant heating principle is common to all models, regardless of the wattage of the heater. As the wattage and product length increases the heating footprint will be greater.
Note: this diagram is for representational purposes only and is not to scale
FEATURES
This outdoor radiant heater uses electricity as the heating medium. It operates on the infrared radiant heating principle directly warming people and objects in the area instead of the air within it.
Ease of Installation & Operation
Suitably sized 3 pin plugs are provided to allow for ease of installation to a wall socket. It is designed to be plugged into a circuit that has an operating isolation switch within reach of the user which enables the heater to be switched on or off.
Silent Operation
Electric element operation eliminates fan noise.
Draft Free
Non fan operation also means no drafts.
IP65
Water ingress protection allows for safe cleaning of the external heater casing using a typical low pressure garden hose or by using a wet sponge.
Remote Control
Remote control is supplied with appliance.

OUTDOOR RADIANT HEATER MOUNTING
This outdoor radiant heater comes with a pair of stainless steel adjustable angle mounting brackets. The adjustable angle enables the heater to be installed on vertical, horizontal and inclined surfaces.
The ideal mounting position is directly above the area to be heated with a longitudinal orientation and facing vertically downwards. If this is not possible, the heater(s) can be mounted on a wall and angled downwards. For this application ensure the mounting height is within 2.1m to 2.7m.
Correct Installation
Incorrect Installation
The heater must never be installed in the upwards or inwards facing position, the heating surface must always be positioned to direct the heat in a downwards or outwards direction.
CLEARANCES
Minimum clearances when mounting the heater on A VERTICAL WALL.
Minimum clearances when mounting the heater parallel with A CEILING.
Minimum clearances when mounting the heater at an ANGLE TO A CEILING.
INSTALLATION METHOD
- Open the packaging and carefully take the heater out and inspect for any damage.
- Determine the mounting position for the heater, refer to "Approximate Heating Area" on page 10 "Outdoor Radiant Heater Mounting" on page 10 and 11 to assist with the location of the heater.
- Set the adjustable angle mounting brackets to desired angle:
For ceiling mounted installations the available mount angles are restricted to 0°, 15° and 30° only.
For wall mounted installations the available mount angles are restricted to 15^ , 30^ and 45^ only.
- Mark the position of the two brackets, using the following minimum recommended bracket spacing below to determine the correct location.
| Dimension (mm) AOD18 AOD24 | |
| A 710 ± 50 990 ± 50 |
- Install the brackets onto the nominated surface or structure using appropriate fixing screws suitable for the mounted surface material and able to support more than double the weight of the heater being installed, refer to "Specifications" on page 7.
- Hang the heater on the brackets and firmly secure in place with the mounting bracket locking plates by tightening the bolt A first, and then bolt B as indicated below.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The installation of electrical wiring, power outlets, and switches MUST BE performed by an authorised electrical installer.
GPO Connection
The heater is provided with a power cord fitted with a 3 pin plug (models AOD18 and AOD24 are fitted with a 10 Amp plug) for connection to a dedicated single-phase 240V AC\~50Hz earthed power outlet. Before connection, make sure that specifications of the power outlet meet the requirements of those indicated on the appliance dataplate.
The power outlet MUST be equipped with an automatic circuit breaker with rated current not less than 16A.
For switching the heater "ON" or "OFF" an accessible All-pole disconnection switch of suitable power rating should also be provided in accordance with wiring rules.
Direct Wired Connection
The heater is designed to also allow for direct connection to a suitably rated single-phase 240V AC\~50Hz earthed power supply. Before connection, make sure that specifications of the power supply to the heater meet the requirements of those indicated on the appliance dataplate.
The power supply MUST be equipped with an automatic circuit breaker with rated current not less than 16A.
The installation MUST be equipped with an accessible all-pole disconnection switch of suitable power rating installed in accordance with wiring rules..
If the heater is being hard wired the circuit must be fitted with an "ON/OFF" isolation switch, in accordance with wiring rules.
Electrical connections or GPOs MUST NOT be located at the back of the heater. They MUST be located outside the installation footprint of the units to reduce the effect of damage caused by heat build-up behind the heater
When mounted on an incline ensure the electrical connection is located at the lowest point of the heater.

For connection of more than one heater to a common "ON/OFF" isolation switch refer to your authorised electrical installer.
Ensure that the power switch on the right hand side of the appliance is set in the 'I' position when installing.
CLEANING
ALWAYS TURN OFF AND OR ISOLATE THE POWER BEFORE CLEANING.
NEVER IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE IN WATER.
Before operating the heater for the first time or after extended periods of non use ensure that the surfaces are clean and free of debris or dust.
Once the radiating surface are clean avoid touching to prevent any transfer of skin oils to the heating surfaces as this may cause spotting or staining.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE HEATER WHILE HOT, ALWAYS WAIT FOR IT TO COOL DOWN.
Regular removal of accumulated debris and dust will prevent unpleasant burnt odours and prevent spotting and stains on the surfaces, do this as needed or once per year.
Water ingress protection allows for safe cleaning of the external heater casing using a typical low pressure garden hose or wet cloth. ALWAYS TURN OFF AND OR ISOLATE THE POWER BEFORE CLEANING.
For more thorough cleaning of the surfaces a mild alcohol solution such as methylated spirits can be used, finish off with a soft dry cloth or rag.
