anyone used smiths space saver plinth heaters?

Wondering how they work w.r.t the fan? it's not obvious from the literature on their site.

Does the fan come on automatically when the flow pipe gets hot? or do you have to flick the switch?

thanks

Ah the kickspace. The fan should blow over the water heated fins giving warm air via switch ie on/off/summer, in summer it can just blow cold air with just the fan on.

yes it should switch on automatically when hot if in the winter position

Just like an electric blow heater. I don't notice it but it keeps your feet warm under the breakfast bar.

Hi anyone out there had issue with heater just blowing even when C/H is off seems to be that the thermostat inside unit is faulty can’t find access to it ?

No fan just comes on whichever setting as soon as it’s powered
