General
The radiator is designed for operation on an AC electricity supply, and
is suitable for use in domestic dwellings and similar indoor locations.
Always ensure that the appliance is stood on a firm, level base near to,
but not directly beneath, a suitable fixed socket outlet.
The radiator is fitted with wheels, castors and a handle for ease of
movement. Selector switches provide a choice of heat output and an
adjustable thermostat enables the room temperature to be controlled
accordingly. It is supplied with a cord and plug ready for use.
The supply cord should be uncoiled before use (see ‘Storage’).
DO NOT pull the radiator along by the mains lead.
Important -
The radiator must only be operated with the wheels and
castors fitted and in the upright position as shown in
Fig. 1
.
Warning – The heater complies with stringent safety standards but to
ensure efficient operation
SURFACES OF THE HEATER WILL BECOME
HOT AND CONTACT WITH THESE AREAS SHOULD BE AVOIDED,
particularly between the air outlet slots on the top and sides.
The control panel area is designed to be at a far lower temperature to
allow the safe operation of the controls at any time.
Momentary contact with any part of the heater should not cause injury.
However aged, infirm persons or young children should not be left
unsupervised in the vicinity of the heater.

Electrical
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
If the socket outlets in your home are not of the 13 amp BS1363 type
they will not accept the plug connected to this heater, therefore cut off
the plug. When cut off this plug can constitute a shock hazard if
inserted into a socket outlet. It must therefore be disposed of safely.
Before wiring the appropriate plug please note that the wires in this
mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN/YELLOW :
EARTH
BLUE :
NEUTRAL
BROWN :
LIVE
Connect the Green/Yellow wire to the terminal marked E or the earth
symbol or coloured Green or Green/Yellow.
Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured Red.
Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured Black.
DO
NOT
connect the Brown (Live) or the Blue (Neutral) wires to the Earth
terminal of your 13 amp plug. If the terminals of the plug are unmarked
or you are in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
CAUTION:
If you use this heater in conjunction with a thermal control,
programme controller, timer or any other device which switches the
heater on automatically observe all safety warnings at all times.
Positioning the Heater
Select the position for the radiator ensuring there is clearance from any
furniture and fittings of at least 300mm above the heater and 150mm
each side. The radiator should only be operated on a flat stable surface.
Operation

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 actually heating.
Controls
Thermostat
(ROF2T, ROF2TI & ROF2ETI models only)
The Thermostat (see ‘T’ in
Fig.’s 2, 3
&
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. The thermostat also has a frost protection setting marked
‘
‘. This setting is useful in areas such as garages, to prevent frost
damage. If the thermostat is set to its minimum setting ‘
’, the heater
will cycle on and off to maintain a temperature of approximately 5° to
help protect against frost.
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
(ROF2T, ROF2TI & ROF2ETI models
only)
Selector switches located on the control panel provide a choice of low
heat, high heat or boost heat output to suit varying conditions and for
economy of operation.
Low Heat Setting ‘ ’ -
This switch as shown in
Fig.’s 2, 3
&
4
provides
a low heat output when activated. When it is activated a neon light ‘x’
illuminates below the control button.
High Heat Setting ‘ ’
- This switch as shown in
Fig.’s 2, 3 & 4
provides
a high heat output when activated. When it is activated a neon light ‘x’
illuminates below the control button.
