Operating the Heater
Choose a suitable location for the heater ensuring you have taken account of the safety instructions
NOTE
: It is normal that when the heater is turned on for the first time or after not being used for a long period
of time that it may emit a slight smell and fumes. These will disappear when the heater has been on a short
while.
1. Take out the heater from its box carefully. Please save the box to store the heater when not in use.
2. Assemble the feet or secure to the wall mounting brackets according to the instructions.
3. Plug the unit into a power socket. Do not to use the same electrical socket as another high wattage
electrical appliance in order to avoid overloading the circuit.
4. Turn the thermostat dial fully in a clockwise direction to gain the maximum setting.
5. Turn on the heating elements by means of the heater switches. There are 3 heat settings 750W, 1250W
and 2000W. When the heating elements are on the switches will illuminate.
6. For maximum heat output both switches should be turned on.
7. When the desired room temperature has been reached, the thermostat knob should be turned slowly
anti-clockwise until the thermostat is heard to click off and the lights on the element switches are seen to
go out.
8. After this the heater will keep the air temperature in the room at the set temperature by switching on and
off automatically.
9. In its minimum (fully anti-clockwise) position, the thermostat provides frost protection. In this position
(depending on the size of the room) the heater will maintain the temperature above freezing.
Setting the Timer
(Model IG5250 only)
1.
This model is fitted with a 24 hour timer which has 96 segments around its circumference, each segment
being equivalent to 15 minutes of time.
2.
It is possible to set the time and duration of the period(s) that it is desired the heater will operate in any
24 hour period.
3.
The centre of the timer has a 3 position switch.
In the central position (denoted by the clock symbol) the timer will switch the heater on and off at
times set by the segments.
The position denoted by the “I”, is a timer override position. The timer will continue to run but
power will be fed continuously to the heater. This enables the heater to be on all the time if
required.
In the position denoted by the “O“ the timer continues to run but no power is fed to the heater.
4.
To set the timer, ensure the slider switch on the timer is in the central position next to the clock symbol.
5.
Rotate the outer ring of the timer in a clockwise direction until the current time is lined up with the arrow
pointer i.e. if the time the timer is being set is 8pm; rotate the outer ring until the number 20 is in line with
the arrow pointer.
6.
Set the time that the heater is required to run by pulling the segments around the outer ring forward
appropriate to the running period(s) required.
7.
When set, the heater will operate each day during the times programmed. Note, the heater must always
be plugged into a power socket, the element switches must be in the on position and the thermostat
must be suitably set to ensure the heater will come on.
8.
If the heater is required to run continuousl
y the slide switch on the timer should be set to the “I” position.
If it is subsequently required to revert back to timer operation, the slide switch on the timer should be set
to the central (clock) position.
Cleaning
Always unplug the heater from the wall and allow it to cool. Clean the outside by wiping with a damp cloth
(not wet). Do not use detergents or abrasives materials. Do not allow for any water to enter the heater. You
can use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the inlet and outlet grille.
Storing the Heater
When the heater is not used for long periods of time, it should be protected from dust and stored in a clean
dry place. The original packaging box can be saved and used to store the heater away.
