Storage

If the heater is not required for long periods, for example during 

the summer, it should be stored in a dry place and preferably 

covered to prevent the accumulation of dirt and dust. The supply 

cord should be neatly 

coiled around the cable wrap (see 

Fig. 1

ensuring that the plug does not trail on the floor. 

IMPORTANT

The heater must be kept plugged in at the mains to retain the 

time and the programmed settings. If unplugged from the mains, 

resetting the time and the programmed settings will be necessary.

Cleaning

WARNING - ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY 

BEFORE CLEANING THE HEATER. 

Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaning powder or polish of 

any kind on the body of the heater. 
Allow the heater to cool, then wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust 

and a damp cloth (not wet) to clean off stains. Be careful not to allow  

moisture in to the heater.

Positioning the Heater

Select the position for the heater ensuring there is clearance from 

any furniture and fittings of at least 300mm above the heater 

and 150mm each side. The heater should only be operated on 

a flat stable surface.

Operation

IMPORTANT

 – Objects or clothing must not be placed on this 

heater. Before using the heater ensure that all warnings and 

instructions have been read carefully.
To bring the heater into use plug it in. Neon indicating lights 

located at the controls area will glow when the appliance is 

plugged into the mains.

 

Controls 

Thermostat 

(see 

Fig. 4

)

 

The Thermostat (see 

Fig. 4

) controls the heat output according 

to the room temperature. This ensures that the heater will not 

produce heat unnecessarily when the room is warm. To set the 

temperature you require, turn the thermostat knob clockwise 

until the required setting is reached. Alternatively to heat a cold 

room quickly, turn the thermostat knob up fully. When the room 

has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob 

anti-clockwise until the thermostat just clicks off. The heater 

will now automatically operate

 

at this temperature. With the 

thermostat set to  ‘ ‘ and the heat selection switch set to the 

required heat output the appliance switches on automatically 

when the temperature falls below +5°C to +8°C.

Note –

 Should the heater fail to come on when the thermostat is 

at a low setting, this may be due to the room temperature being 

higher than the thermostat setting.

Heat Selector Switches 

(see 

Fig. 5

)

 

Selector switches located on the control panel provide a choice 

of heat output to suit varying conditions and for economy of 

operation.

Turbo fan

 

(see 

Fig. 5

)

The turbo fan is used to boost the heat output and also the 

airflow around the room. This circulates the heat and results in 

a reduced heat up time and a more even heat distribution. The 

turbo fan is controlled by the  switch on the front of the product.
The turbo can be turned on independently of the heat.

Tilt Switch

The tilt switch will prevent the heater from working if it is 

accidentally tipped over on its side.
If the heater is tipped over while it is hot, disconnect the power 

and allow it to cool, then stand the heater back upright. Reconnect 

the power - normal operation should be resumed.
