Installation
The Bavaro downow heater must be mounted horizontally
with the air outlet and grille pointing downward.
1. To remove the cover of the heater, undo the 2 locking
screws at the top of the heater and rotate the cover
forwards being careful not to damage the hinge at the
bottom of the heater.
2. Using the dimensions shown above, mark the top 2
holes (A & B) on the wall. Drill and install the mounting
plugs and partially install the screws for the holes A
& B.
3. Hang the heater on the screws and move the product
through the Z locking shape shown in gure 1. Once
the product is in position mark the two holes in the
bottom legs (C&D), and then remove the heater.
4. Drill holes C & D and install the mounting plugs; then
re-install the heater and tighten up all 4 screws (A,B,C
& D)
Clearance required: 300mm above the heater to the ceiling, 250mm to the side of the heater. 900mm to
the oor and to any shelf below the heater.
5. Feed the supply cable through the cable inlet at the top of the heater and secure it using the cable clamp
supplied, leaving sufcient slack on the cable to connect to the terminals on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB),
[the cable used to supply the heater should be at least 1.5mm² two core.]
6. Connect the Live (Red or Brown) cable to the terminal marked “L” and the Neutral (Blue or Black) cable to the ter-
minal marked “N”, see Figure 2.Ensure that there are no strands of cable left protruding from the terminal blocks.
As the Bavaro downow heater is a double insulated appliance the Earth cable should not be connected and
if present should be terminated in a connector and wrapped in electrical tape to prevent nuisance tripping.
7. Ret the Cover by inserting the two hooks at the base of the cover into the corresponding pockets and rotate
the cover. The cover should smoothly t over the internal components, if the cover does not easily close,
check that the PCB is rmly seated in its slot and that the supply cables are not obstructing the cover. Once
the cover is closed, insert the screws being careful not to over tighten.
8. The Bavaro downow heater is now ready to use and the power supply can be turned back on.
NOTE: Do not operate the downow heater without the cover in place.
Operation
The Bavaro downow heater is tted with a pull-cord
and electronic micro switch to operate the appliance.
To activate the switch, gently pull the cord until the
switch clicks on and the heater operates.
The rst pull of the cord will operate the heater
at 1kW showing a yellow indicator light, the tem-
perature probe sets the temperature limit to 30°C.
A second pull of the cord will bring the heater on at 2kW
with a red indicator light, the temperature probe sets the
temperature limit to 45°C.
To turn the heater off pull the cord a third time and the
Bavaro heater will turn off the heating elements and enter
cool down mode; the elements are turned off and the
light ashes green. Once the unit is cooled down suf-
ciently it will turn off completely.
The Bavaro downow heater also has a built in 1/2 hour
run back timer. At the end of the run back period the
heater will turn itself off and cool down. If the operation
CAUTION: Prior to performing any maintenance or cleaning of your Bavaro Downow heater always disconnect
the electrical supply for the heater at the adjacent double pole switch.
To clean the outside of the downow heater wipe it down regularly with a soft damp cloth. Do not use any use
harsh chemicals,abrasive, acid or alkali based cleaning products as they can damage the nish of the downow
heater. If using a chemically impregnated cloth, test on an inconspicuous area prior to use to test for suitability.
Ensure that any dust or uff does not build up on the air inlet to the heater or on the outlet. Build up of dirt and
uff will cause the unit to overheat and trip out. It is recommended to regularly vacuum both the inlet and outlet
of the heater when any dust or uff builds up.

Maintenance
Safety Features
Electronic Temperature Sensor.
The Bavaro Downow heater continually monitors the air temperature inside the heater to detect if it is overheat-
ing. In the event that the downow heater overheats the electronic sensor will turn the heater off automatically.
To reset the electronic sensor, turn the power off to the heater from the adjacent double pole switch, identify the
cause of the over heating and rectify if possible (See Maintenance section). Ensure that the heater has cooled
sufciently and then re-energise the power supply. Pull the cord to restart the heater. Should the heater not
restart check the element thermal cutout or element thermal fuse (Electrician required).
Element Thermal Cutout.
The element in the Bavaro Downow heater is equipped with a self resetting high level bi-metallic thermal
cutout. The thermal cutout will turn the element off if it overheats; once it cools down it will reset and continue
to heat. If you experience the element running cold when the indicator light is yellow or red then it is likely that
the thermal cutout has tripped. Wait until the unit has cooled down and identify the cause of over heating (see
above). If the unit still blows cold then check the element thermal fuse (Electrician required).
Element Thermal Fuse.
In addition to the element thermal cutout there is a thermal fuse built into the element, this is provided as a sup-
plementary layer of safety, if the fuse blows and is open circuit, it can only be as a result of an irregular operating
condition such as repeated overheating. If the thermal fuse is blown then the element will require replacement.

of the heater is adjusted during the run-back period then the heater defaults back to the full 30 minute countdown
