Instructions for the installer

Heater Positioning and Installation

• The electrical installation of this heater must be
approved by your local electricity company.
• The installation must be carried out by a competent
electrician.
• Electrical installation and local safety regulations
must also be adhered to.
• If heaters are to be installed in commercial or pub-
lic buildings such as hotels, holiday homes or
apartments, schools, administrative buildings etc.,
a special warning label is to be attached to the top
of the heater. This label is available from your local
contractor.

Procedures to be followed

All National and Local Safety Codes should be ad-
hered to both at the planning and installation stages.

Choosing the Heater Position

The heater can be positioned anywhere within the
room to be heated. It is preferable however to place
the heater under a window so that the cold air in this
vicinity can be warmed, causing natural convection.
The floor and/or the wall must be able to take the
weight of the heater. Please, therefore, note carefully
the weights given in the Technical Data section of this
instruction. If in doubt, consult a building engineer or
architect. Choose the mounting according to the bear-
ing capacity of the wall and/or floor.
Olsberg storage heaters generally need no protective
underboard when standing on normal flooring, as long
as this is flat and smooth and can withstand tempera-
tures of 80°C minimum.
Floorings which do not withstand point loading can
lead to the heater feet subsiding into the flooring, thus
interfering with, or preventing completely, convection
below the heater.
In the case of soft, load-sensitive or non-heat-resistant
floors or carpeting, as well as to even out any sur-
faces, it is advisable to first put down a protective
board the size of the underside of the heater. When
using high- or thick-pile carpeting a protective board
or floor-standing consoles should definitely be used.
For appliances without integral room thermostats, the
wall-mounted room thermostat should be mounted
preferably on an internal wall, at least 2.5m from the
heater and at a height of approx. 1.5m.

Assembly

Olsberg electric storage heaters can be wall or floor
mounted, or on floor-mounting brackets. The mounting
must be take in factors concerned with the building itself
but can also allow for personal requirements.
The heater should be only removed from its packag-
ing near to its place of final assembly.
Small cracks or chips in the heater core bricks have
no influence on the operation of the heater.

Minimum Clearances

For reasons of safety, the following minimum clear-
ances are to be adhered to:
•
From cover and side panels ...........................10cm
•
From air-outlet grille........................................25cm

Tilting Safety, Wall Mounting

Each storage heater must be protected against tilting. To
do this, the heater must be fixed to the wall.
2 wall-mounting brackets are supplied for fixing the
heater to the wall which is done as follows:
-Wall-mounting only ............... see Fig.1-3
-Floor-mounting only .............. see Fig.4
-Floor-mounting brackets ...... see Fig.5-7
using the fixing materials supplied (plugs, hexagonal
screws 8x100 and washers)
If the fixing materials supplied are not sufficient to
assure a safe mounting, a suitable method of mount-
ing must be chosen.
