Frequently Asked Questions - Forme 2 MBHF2LW Martec

How do I turn on the Martec Forme 2 heater?

Plug into a suitable power outlet and press the main power switch. Then select the desired heat setting (Low or High) or Fan Only mode using the control knob.

Can I use the heater in a bathroom?

No, this heater is not suitable for bathrooms or high-moisture areas unless it is specifically rated for such use. Always keep the heater dry.

How do I clean the heater?

Unplug and allow to cool. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Clean the air inlet and outlet with a soft brush or vacuum. Do not use water or chemicals inside the heater.

The heater turns off by itself. What should I do?

This is normal if the thermostat reaches the set temperature or if the overheat protection activates. Ensure proper airflow and that the heater is not blocked. If it continues, contact support.

5. The heater must be properly grounded

6. The lamps are hot when in use. Do not touch the infrared lamps with any part of your body when in use.

7. For the purpose of avoiding any dangerous gas leaking into your bathroom, the ventiduct of the heater must not be laid together with the ventiduct of air-fueled water heater or other open-fire appliances into the same flue.

8. The disconnection may be achieved by having the plug accessible or by incorporating a switch in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules. The heater must be isolated from the power by means of a plug or all-pole disconnection switch with a contact separation of at least 3mm in each pole.

9. The power cable must stand a minimum 5A load.

10. The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE INSTALLING

A few minutes of planning can make a big difference to the installation time and also to your satisfaction with the function of the unit.

1. The unit should not be installed directly above a shower or bathtub. The unit must not be installed in a position where water may splash onto the lamps.

2. The unit must not be installed beneath a fixed socket.

3. The unit is designed for installation in flat ceilings only. Do not mount it on a sloping ceiling or a vertical wall.

4. The infrared lamps are most effective when you are standing directly beneath them, so generally the unit would be mounted a place where you would stand to dry yourself

5. For the exhaust fan to work efficiently, replacement air of a volume equivalent to what is being extracted must be able to enter the room. Generally, this air would be drawn under the door, or through a slightly open window. If the room is airtight, the fan will function poorly

6. Before commencing any cutting, check in the ceiling space that there are no obstructions such as ceiling joists and that there is sufficient height clearance for the housing. Check that the electrical wiring can be routed from the wall switches to the mounting location.

INSTALLATION

1. Cutting a vent

Locate a vent position (above the ceiling) on the wall, and then cut a 105mm diameter hole at this very position.

1. Ducting

Put one end of the 100mm diameter ventiduct into the vent hole and seal space around the hole using a suitable sealant and cowling where necessary.

Note: Since the length of each duct is 1.5m, make sure that from the centre of installation position there should be a distance within 1.5m to the outside vent.

Wall venting shown

1. Locating the heater

For the purpose of obtaining best healing effect, from the lamps there should be a distance of about a 2.3mtr overall height to ground.

1. Prepare the ceiling

Cut around the included hole-cutting template and use this template to mark the hole outline on the ceiling. Note the Hole Cut Out Size is 375mmx 202mm for this unit.

Make sure a distance between the

edges and wall is no less than 250mm. Also from the rooftop should be a

minimum 220mm height to the ceiling. 5. Remove the Fascia

Remove the 2 lamps from the heater.

Unclip the internal fascia-retaining

springs inside the housing. Remove

the fascia, connect the ducting if required

to the outer grill of the wall unit into the square hole being sure to pull the side springs inward so that the body can pas through the hole without damaging the plaster. Ensure that the unit

is held securely in place by the clips. If required, additional screws can be used to aid

holding the unit into the ceiling. Screw holes are provided in the flange for this purpose

Reconnect the LED down light plugs hold the fascia against the body of the heater and the

ceiling and attach the securing springs to hold the fascia in-place., replace the Heat Lamps

ensure good electrical contact, but do not over tighten.

6. ELECTRICAL WIRING

The bathroom heater unit must be wired through either a plug and socket or an all-pole disconnecting switch (SW 1) in accordance with Australian Wiring Rules AS/NZS3000.

Note: This unit is fitted with a thermostat switch which will operate to automatically switch the fan on in the event that the internal temperature of the unit exceeds 80^ C.

Fit the wires to the nominated location on the terminal block on back of wall switch plate.

Connect the wiring to the three switches as shown in the below electrical diagram. Note: a. Ensure that the power is turned off before carrying out any work on electrical installations.

b. Remove the terminal cover on the heater unit and wire accordingly to the label

adjacent to the terminal B lock, Make sure all cables are securely connected and refit the terminal cover.

c. Clean the fascia and globes with a soft moist cloth. Turn on power and check the switch operation.

Continued:

1. Locate and fit the duct to the ducting outlet, be sure to secure properly over the duct outlet. Use clamp supplied or zip tie to secure duct (tighten so that it will not come of during operation)

2. Position the housing into the hole

Choose and optimal direction to put the housing into the hole in

accordance with the position of the fan outlet. Use the two spring clips to fix to the housing. Ensure that the unit is held securely by the clips.

Note: Try to keep the redundant wire away from the housing.

1. Final installation

1) Replace the fascia

Replace the fascia and retaining springs.

2) Replace the lamps

Ensure the lamps are tightened sufficiently to make good electrical contact. Clean the lamps and fascia.

3) Fix the switch panel to the wall

Note: The switch wiring should be mounted inside the wall to give the switch an integrated built in appearance. If it is necessary to run the wiring on the outside of the wall, use a suitable conduit and fixings to properly located and hold the wiring used.

For the exhaust fan to work efficiently,

replacement air of a volume equivalent to what is being extracted must be able to enter the room. In general this air would be drawn from under the door, or through a slightly opened window.

If the room is air-tight, the fan will function poorly.
