Points to Remember
Ensure that there are no air gaps during application of the cement mortar / cement based
adhesive/tile adhesive/thinset or self leveling compound.
Ensure the entire heating cable, factory splices and thermostat floor sensor are embedded in
the cement mortar. The choice and application of building materials should be in accordance
with building materials manufacturer’s instructions.
Ensure that the correct maturity and curing times for drying of construction materials are
followed before you power ON the heating mats.
Test the mat before during and after installation of the final floor finish. Record values in the
control card on page 15 of this manual.
Operating Tips
When first energized, the heating mat may take up to 3 hours to fully warm your floor.
For lower energy consumption, make sure to properly program your thermostat for use only
when you need it.
Avoid placing thick mats / rugs / floor level furniture etc, on your heated floor, specially in
the area where the sensor of a floor-sensing thermostat is located. These restrict the transfer
of heat away from the cables and result in the floor area beneath them being warmer than
other areas.
