ONTROLS
The BFH2T has a heat loading of 2 kW. The heater is controlled by a pullcord operated on/off switch. A
neon indicator when lit shows that the unit is operational.
The appliance is fitted with an Electronic Safety Control (ES). This is a safety device which switches off
the heater if for any reason the appliance overheats. The ES Control can only be re-set after the appliance
has cooled down. In order to re-set the ES Control proceed as follows:-
•
Switch off appliance by means of pullcord and leave for approximately 5 minutes.
•
Switch appliance back on and ES Control will re-set.
•
Ensure that the appliance is functioning correctly. If the ES Control operates again, the appliance
should be checked by a competent electrician.

The BFH2T is fitted with a thermostat.
o set the thermostat to the required temperature, turn the control knob fully clockwise. When the
desired room temperature is reached, turn the knob slowly anti-clockwise and when the thermostat ‘clicks’
off, leave the control at this setting. Thereafter, the fan heater will control the heat output automatically.
To set the heater to the Frost Watch mode, rotate the thermostat control knob fully to the lowest setting
(N

1). Thereafter the heater will trip in if the temperature drops sufficiently. The heater needs to be in
the ‘ON’ mode with the neon indicator light illuminated for this function to operate.

•
Check re-set of E.S. Control as described under ‘controls’.
•
Check that the plug is firmly pushed into the wall socket with the socket switched ‘on’.
•
Check that the socket is live by using another appliance in it. (If it is not live, check the fuse at the
distribution board).
•
Check that the plug is wired correctly.
•
Check that the fuse has not blown. (This can be done by replacement with another suitable fuse).
•
If you are replacing a fuse in the plug, a 13 Amp fuse approved by A.S.T.A to BS 1362 must be used.
