To use as a frost protection heater, rotate the thermostat fully anticlockwise. The
heater will then switch on at 5ºC ±3º to prevent frost. The area protected by the
heater will depend on where it is mounted and the level of thermal insulation.
Setting the thermostat further clockwise will cause the heater to switch on at a
higher temperature, up to 25ºC ±3º when turned fully clockwise.
OPERATION
Switch the unit on at the fused spur (or mains socket).
Do not touch the case when the heater is in operation, because it will be hot.
Switch off at the fused spur (or mains socket) when not in use.
OPERATING COSTS
At time of going to press, the average cost of electricity is £0.13 per unit (kilowatt-
hour). The amount you are being charged will be shown on your electricity bill.
At this cost, the EH1566 will cost 5.2 p per hour to run with the thermostat set to
its maximum.
MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, turn the heater off, and disconnect from the mains supply. The
heater may then be cleaned using a damp cloth with a drop of washing-up liquid
to remove any dust or dirt from the case. Do no use stronger detergents or
solvents as these may damage the plastic.
If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or and
authorised service centre.
If the mains plug needs to be replaced, proceed
as follows:
•
Connect the brown wire to the terminal
labelled "L".
•
Connect the blue wire to the terminal
labelled "N".
•
Connect the green/yellow wire to the
terminal labelled with the earth symbol or
"E".
•
If the plug is fitted with a 13 A fuse,
replace it by a 5 A fuse.
•
Make sure that the cord-grip is positioned correctly (over the outer
sheath of the cable) and it fully tightened.
