Introduction
This manual contains IMPORTANT information regarding the safe use and installation of
your foil heaters. Please read through the entire manual carefully before you install or
use the product.
Items required
Before installing your new Warmup® Foil heater, be sure that you have the following
additional parts:
• The customized installation plan (or layout)
• A Warmup® Thermostat
• Digital ohm meter (multi-meter)
• 30mA RCD
• Electrical Junction box
• Electrical conduit
• Insulation material
Warmup® Foil mats must be fitted directly on top of the Insulation, and directly under the
wood laminate flooring.
Before installation always check the subfloor has adequate thermal insulation. This is
particularly important where the foil heaters will be used as a primary heat source. A heat
loss calculation MUST be carried out to ensure that the product will provide enough heat
for your room.
See page 7 for information on suitable insulation materials.
