Frequently Asked Questions - EPH1500 Creda

How to install the Creda EPH1500 panel heater?

Disconnect power before installation. Mount the wall support according to the diagrams, ensuring minimum clearance distances. The heater must be connected to 220-240V 50Hz by a qualified electrician, using a 2-wire cable (brown=phase, blue=neutral). Earthing is prohibited. For electronic models, the pilot wire (black) must not be connected to earth.

What are the minimum clearance distances for installation?

Refer to the manual's diagram (marked as ②) for specific clearance distances. General rule: avoid installing under a fixed mains power socket or in a draught (e.g., under a fan). Ensure no obstruction to airflow.

How to set the comfort temperature on the electronic model?

Set the mode switch knob (①) to the comfort position (⚙). Then adjust the comfort temperature set value knob (③) to the desired level (e.g., 5). Wait a few hours for stabilization, then adjust if needed.

How to activate the frost-free mode?

For mechanical models: set the ON/OFF switch to ON and turn the control knob to the frost symbol (✿). For electronic models: set the mode switch knob to the frost symbol (✦). The heater will maintain approximately 7°C to prevent freezing.

Can I lock the controls to prevent tampering?

Yes. For mechanical models, remove the slugs on the back and select position B (lock) or L (limit). For electronic models, detach the pins on the back and choose B (lock) or L (limit) for thumb-wheels, or M to lock the mode switch.

What should I do if the heater does not heat?

Check that the circuit breakers are on and the room temperature is below the setpoint. For electronic models, ensure the programmer (if used) is in COMFORT mode. If the thermostat is blocked, switch off power for about 10 minutes to reset.

How to clean and maintain the heater?

Clean the upper and lower grilles twice a year using a vacuum cleaner or brush. Wipe the casing with a damp cloth. Never use abrasive products. Have a professional inspect the interior every five years.

What is the warranty period?

The heater is guaranteed against faulty workmanship or materials for 24 months from the date of purchase, provided it has been correctly installed and used according to instructions. Proof of purchase is required.

Can the heater be installed in a bathroom?

Yes, because it is IPX4 rated (splash proof). It can be installed in zone 2, provided the controls cannot be reached by a person using the shower or bath. Compliance with local wiring regulations (BS7671) is required.

How does the programming mode work?

On electronic models, set the mode switch to the Ⓙ position. The heater will then respond to commands from an external programmer via the pilot wire. It will heat in Comfort mode when no command is received, and switch to Eco when commanded. Use a timer to program energy-saving periods.

INSTALLATION OF THE PANEL HEATER

Please read the instructions before starting to install the heater. Disconnect the power before carrying out any work on the heater. Keep these instructions even after your heater has been installed.

1) Where to install your heater?

• This equipment was designed to be installed in a residence. Please ask your distributor before using it for any other purpose.
• The panel heater should be installed according to normal trade practice and in compliance with legislation in the relevant country (BS7671 the IEE Wiring Regulations).
• The equipment is class 2 (double insulated) and is protected against splashed water (IPx4). Therefore it can be installed in zone 2, provided the panel heater's controls cannot be reached by a person using the shower or bath. ①
• Comply with the minimum clearance distances for positioning of the panel heater. ②
• If your wall covering is laid on foam, a spacer the same thickness as the foam must be placed under the panel heater's support. This ensures there is free space behind the panel heater to make sure its control settings are not adversely affected.
• Do not install the panel heater:
  In a draught likely to affect the control settings (under a fan, etc.).
  Under a fixed mains power socket.
