Step 5: Install the carpet or laminate floor
Before fitting the floor covering switch on the heating mat to check
that it is working - warmth should be noticeable on the surface of
the heating mat within minutes.
Switch off the heating mat and disconnect the thermostat from the
supply when fitting the flooring.
Take care not to damage the heating mats when fitting the carpet
or laminate flooring. Do NOT drive nails or screws into the floor or
cut the floor planks on top of the heater.
Be careful not to pinch the heating mats when using blocks to
hammer the laminate in place. Always keep cardboard or similar
handy to place underneath as you move forward in the room.
Never make cuts to the planks over the heating system.
Do not walk on the mats more than is absolutely necessary during
installation, and Do not drop or place heavy articles on the mats.
Warmup Foil mats must not be used folded, and care should be
taken not to fold or crease the mats at any time during installation.
For this reason Warmup Foil mats are not suitable for use on stairs.
Should you wish to move your mat at some later stage, please
remember to roll it rather than folding it.
Once the flooring has been installed, connect the thermostat ensuring that it is set to reach a
maximum temperature of 81˚F (27˚C).
We recommend that the connection of the thermostat is completed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING:
This product must be used with a Warmup GFCI-protected controller, or supplied with a GFCI
protected breaker at the panel. A 5mA trip level GFCI is required. Always consult a qualified
electrician for advice.
Note: These installation instructions are NOT intended to replace or supersede the installation
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the wood laminate or carpet, but to supplement
them. BOTH sets of installation instructions should be complied with.
