Important Safety Advice
WARNING – THISAPPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock, and injury to persons, including the
following:
The electrical installation must be carried out by a competent
electrician, and be in strict accordance with the current I.E.E.
regulations for Electrical Equipment in Buildings.
The heater is fitted with a length of flexible cable type H05VV-
F size 3 x 1.0mm2 on models PLX 500 - 2000 and size 3 x
1.5mm2 on PLX 3000 models, for connection to the fixed
wiring of the premises through a suitable connection box
positioned adjacent to the heater.
IMPORTANT – The wall brackets supplied with the
appliance must be used.
IMPORTANT – If the heater is installed in a room
containing a bath or shower, it must be so installed that
switches and other controls cannot be touched by a
person using a bath or shower.
The supply circuit to the heater must incorporate a double
pole isolating switch having a contact separation of at least
3mm.
Do not use outdoors.
Supplementary Earth Bonding
Do not locate the heater immediately below a fixed socket
outlet or connection box.
Should Equipotential Earth Bonding be required the earthing
conductor in the supply cord is deemed to provide the
supplementary bonding connection (see Regulation 547-
03-05, 16th Edition I.E.E. Wiring Regulations).
Do not cover the heater. Do not place material or
garments on the heater, or obstruct the air circulation
around the heater, for instance by curtains or pushing
furniture up against the heater, as this could cause
overheating and a fire risk.
General
NEVER cover or obstruct in any way the heat outlet slots
at the top of the heater or the air inlet slots in the base of
the heater.
The PLX Convector is designed for wall mounting on the wall
brackets supplied. It should only be operated when in the
upright position as shown.
All models are splashproof to IP24 standard.
Models PLX…TI are fitted with a 24 hour programmable
timer.
Models PLX…TX are fitted with a 7 Day programmable timer.
Models PLX…NC are fitted with no controls, for use with
external thermostatic or programming controllers.
Before connecting the heater check that the supply voltage is
the same as that stated on the heater.
The heater carries the Warning symbol indicating
that it must not be covered.
WARNING – THE SURFACES OF THIS HEATER CAN BE
HOT. Momentary contact with any part of the heater
should not cause injury. However, aged or infirm persons
or young children should not be left unsupervised in the
vicinity of the heater unless a suitable guard is fitted.
This appliance is not intended for use by children or
other persons without assistance or supervision if their
physical, sensory or mental capabilities prevent them
from using it safely. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Note that due care and consideration must be taken
when using this heater in series with a thermal control,
a program controller, a timer or any other device that
switches on the heat automatically, since a fire risk
exists when the heater is accidentally covered or
displaced.
If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.

For your safety this appliance is fitted with a thermal cut-out.
In the event that the product overheats for some reason, the
cut-out prevents excessive temperatures on the product by
cutting the power to the heater. Once the heater has cooled
down, it will reset automatically, it will continue to cycle on
and off automatically until the reason for overheating is
removed.
To set the timer’s ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ periods:

Before commencing cleaning, unplug the heater and allow it

The outside can be cleaned by wiping it over with a soft damp
cloth and then dried. Do not use abrasive cleaning powders
or furniture polish, as this can damage the surface finish.

Other Energy Saving Tips for Around the Home
1. Lights
Energy Saving Tips
The energy we use to heat, light and power our homes
contributes over a quarter of the UK’s carbon emissions, the
principle contributor to climate change.
Turn off lights whenever you leave a room for more than ten
minutes.
Around half the energy used in the home is for heating and
hot water, so using your heating system efficiently will not
only help the environment, but also save you money !
Use low-energy bulbs wherever you can as they use less
than a quarter of the electricity used by ordinary light bulbs
and last ten times longer!
Energy efficiency tips for heating and hot water
1. Don’t set the temperature too high…
2. Cooking
Use the right size pan for the food and cooker hob.
By reducing the thermostat setting by just 1ºC can reduce
your energy use by as much as 10%. And if you’re going
away for the winter, leave the thermostat on the frost protection
setting to provide protection from freezing at a minimum cost.
Keep saucepan lids on - this enables you to turn down the
heat.
Boil water for cooking in a kettle.
2. Use it where you need it…
Set the appropriate temperature on your heaters for the room
they are in; for example, leave the thermostat on a heater in a
spare bedroom on a lower setting.
3. Use it when you need it…
Use heaters fitted with timers or linked to central controllers
to turn the heating on only when you need it and automatically
switch it off when you don’t.
4. Curtains…
Close your curtains at dusk to stop heat escaping through
the windows.
5. Windows…
Nearly 25% of heat loss can occur through poorly insulated
frames and single glazing. If you can’t afford to double glaze
all your windows, go for the rooms you heat most.
6. Treat your hot water tank...give it a jacket
An insulating jacket for hot water tanks only costs a few pounds
and pays for itself within months. Fit one that’s at least 75mm
(3") thick and you could save £10-£15 a year.
7. Water …
Use a shower if you have one to save time, money and water.
Don’t set the thermostat too high on your water heater - 60oC/
140oF is usually adequate for bathing and washing.
Put the plug in when running hot water in your sink - leaving
hot taps running is both wasteful and expensive.
Ensure dripping taps are repaired quickly. In just one day,
you could waste enough water to fill a bath.
The product complies with the European Safety Standards EN60335-2-30 and the European Standard Electromagnetic Compatibility
(EMC) EN55014, EN60555-2 and EN60555-3 which cover the essential requirements of EEC Directives 73/23 and 89/336
