OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATION

Your HSXCA(X) heater combines the economy of a storage 

heater with the convenience of a convector heater.  

The storage heater takes in energy, when electricity tariffs 

are low and dissipates it when tariffs are normal.  

The convector heater provides an instant boost on 

demand from normal tariff electricity.

1.  Ventilate rooms well during commissioning.
2.  Do not move the heater in any way once installed without the 

services of a competent electrician.

3.  Do not cover the heater with clothing etc. at any time or position 

furniture close to or against the heater.

4.  Ensure a clearance of at least 150mm between heaters and 

curtains.

5.  Should your heater fail to operate either employ the services 

of a competent electrician or Telephone 0117 923 5375.

 

ALSO REFER TO COVER PAGE

Set both the Input Control and the Output Control to 6 and 

leave the heater for 48 hours.

Following the commissioning period adjust the controls as 

stated below.

The controls are located under the hinged 

fl

 ap at the top right hand 

corner of the heater.
To adjust the controls on the heater, use a coin and engage it in 
the slots provided on the top surface of the knob.

THE OUTPUT CONTROL

Most of the stored heat is radiated from the casing during the 
discharge period.  However, some of the heat is emitted through 
the grille at the top of the heater and this additional heat (boost) 
is regulated by the Output Control.
With this set to 6 the boost begins in the early afternoon.  Turning 
the control towards 1 will progressively delay the commencement 
of the boost.  At 3 the boost will start in the evening.  Once set, the 
boost will repeat itself automatically day after day.
If no boost is required, e.g. when the room will be unoccupied 
for along period, set the Output Control to 1.  With the control in 
this position, the heater will take in less energy during the next 
charging up period.

CONVECTOR HEATER CONTROLS

The convector is selected by an on/off rocker switch which 
illuminates when switched on ‘1’.  With the switch on, the convector 
element shall be cycled on and off by the room thermostat.  With 
the switch off “0” the convector will not run.  The room thermostat 
knob is marked 1 to 5.  The higher the setting number chosen, the 
higher the level at which the room temperature will be controlled.
Your comfort level can easily be established by gradually adjusting 
the thermostat until the required room temperature is maintained.

To maintain the appearance of the heater wipe occasionally with 
a dry cloth when the heater is cool.
Do not use abrasive powders or furniture polish.
Discoloration of wall 

fi

 nishes can sometimes occur immediately 

above a storage heater due to the properties of some paints and 
decorating materials or the presence of environmental impurities 
in the air (such as soot or incense generated for the burning of 
candles, etc.).

RECYCLING

THE INPUT CONTROL

This heater is 

fi

 tted with a user adjustable automatic input control 

which varies the charge taken in response to weather conditions 
taking into account the amount of energy already stored in the 
heater.  Set at 6 the heater takes maximum charge and at 1 the 
heater takes a minimum charge at any room temperature.  The 
casing of the heater, particularly in late evening, may feel cool, 
this is quite normal.  The input control may require a few days 
experimentation before your comfort level is established.
Initially set the control to 3, the following evening if the room 
is too warm reduce to 2 or if it is too cool increase to 4.  On 
subsequent evenings adjust by half divisions until your comfort 
level is achieved.
Having established the setting the input will automatically carry the 
amount of heat stored to compensate for weather variations.
