    Just had read of the online manual. Joker is right on the 0.75 for the fans and that one in your pic needs to be 1.5

    Na kida peice piss its just wirng cables in 藍藍just a bit fiddly lol.doesnt need be to thick cable 0.75mm cable shud do even lesa for the fans. Its heater that needs be little thicker
    Its more work/wiring and I can just about cope with this (If I dont throw it through the window)

    I've recently had a fire scare so I hear ya.

    Just gonna cut the plug off the fan and connect that.And connect an extension to plug the fan heater in.

    Saw your burned sockets thread so I know you want this to be spot on
    Manufacturer will just say 1.5mm as this gives a bit of leeway in case the cables run in hot environments ( a bit like a grow room!)
    If you a running a fan heater I wouldnt go less than 1.5 myself. Extensions will be fine just make sure the copper ends are nicely twisted and the screw connections are tight, but not too tight

    Are the cables on extensions more inferior than cable I would buy from a shop??

    I ask as it was an extension that caused my near fire,although I did overload it.

    Heater wired in to the controller wont stay on long enough to get hot. Its just on an off as an wen temps drop. 1.0 is plenty not bustin the amp rating with a 1000w fan heater fink its about 6amp not sure cant remember but i checked anyway not had any issues .
    But yea they will cover there ass anyways. I dont take any risks with leccy tbh.not wen ya got kids
