Safety & Operating Instructions

This is an electrical heating system and must be used strictly in accordance with the manufacturer's

instructions:

• DO NOT drill holes or drive sharp objects (i.e. nails or screws) into your floor without knowing

with absolute certainty that you will not touch the heating elements

• Replacing damaged tiles may, if not done properly, cause damage to the heaters

• Heaters must be connected through an RCD (safety switch) circuit breaker

• In case of damage or the unlikely event of heater failure, the RCD switch will trip and cut off

power to the heating

o In this case, turn off the thermostat and contact Coldbuster

o Do not attempt to repair the heater

• Inform them about the position of the heaters and pass these safety and operating instructions on

to new owners or tenants

Economy Tips

The ideal temperature of the floor depends on the heat required to maintain the desired room

temperature. If it is very cold outside, the floor will have to be warmer to maintain the same room

temperature than when it is moderately cold outside.

Ideal temperature also depends on size of area, ventilation, insulation, ceiling height, etc. Another

important factor is whether you are intending to use the floor heating to heat just the floor or to

be the primary heat source for the room area.

The lower the temperature you set on the thermostat, the less electricity the heating uses. We

advise you to experiment to find the most comfortable setting. Start at a low temperature first, so

if you find this desirable you know you're not using more electricity to maintain higher

temperatures than needed.

A cold area will not heat up any faster by setting the thermostat to its maximum setting. Simply

set the thermostat to your desired temperature and the heater will draw maximum power until

the selected temperature is reached.

Reducing heat losses will make your heating system run more efficiently and economically.

Heat is lost through sub floor, windows, doors, ceiling and walls. Ways you can reduce heat loss:

• Install insulation in the floor, ceiling and walls

• Keep doors, windows and curtains closed

Other common sources of heat loss include:

• Open chimneys/fireplaces

• Stairwells

• A/C ceiling grilles
