IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING -
THE SURFACE OF THIS HEATER CAN BE HOT.
The surface temperatures of this heater are within the requirements of EN60335, the European Standard covering the safety
requirements of electric storage heating appliances, and momentary contact with any part of the heater should not cause injury.
However, in order to be effective, heaters of any type do get hot, especially around the air outlet grille.
Therefore, if aged or infirm persons, or young children, are likely to be left unsupervised in the vicinity of a heater precautions
should be taken to ensure that prolonged contact with the heater cannot occur. We recommend that a guard is fitted around the
heater, as is normal with some types of heating appliances in similar circumstances. A range of guards for Creda storage heaters
is available. If you require further information on these guards, please contact Creda Heating (0845) 604 2399.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision for instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
•
DO NOT COVER THE SURFACES OF THE HEATER AND DO NOT OBSTRUCT AIR OUTLET GRILLES Surfaces of the heater
should not be covered or obstructed as this can cause excessive temperatures that can be hazardous and may cause safety cut-
outs to operate. For example, do not put clothes, fabrics or any combustible materials on the heater or allow curtains to come
within 250mm (10”) of the top of the heater and 75mm (3”) of the ends of the heater, and do not allow furniture to be pushed
up against the heater.
•
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE THE HEATER. YOUR STORAGE HEATER IS VERY HEAVY. For safety in use the heater must be
securely fixed to a sound wall and specialist advice must be sought before moving. If you are not happy that the heater has
been securely fixed, please inform your installer.
•
DO NOT SIT OR STAND ON THE HEATER.
•
DO NOT SPILL LIQUIDS ONTO THE APPLIANCE. IF YOU DO, SWITCH THE HEATER OFF AND GET A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
TO CHECK IT.
•
DO NOT POKE OBJECTS THROUGH THE GRILLE OR VENTILATION SLOTS.
•
DO NOT USE POLISHES ON THE HEATER OR ON FURNITURE NEAR TO IT.
•
The hot interior of the heater can produce paraffin smells from polish vapours which may last for a number of hours.
•
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE HEATER YOURSELF. In case of breakdown or other failure, switch off the heater at the wall
switch and consult your supplier, local electricity company or Creda Heating. Always ensure that the heater is switched off at
the wall switch and the fuse removed before any repair is carried out.
FIRST HEATING ON A NEW HEATER:
The new heater will give off a smell. It is recommended the dispersion of this smell
should be accelerated by running the heater straight up to its maximum temperature, whatever the prevailing weather.
Set the Input control knob to the maximum setting of 6 and the Output control knob to the maximum setting of 6 and run the
heater like this for two nights. The instructions to the installer of your heater mentions this and he will probably set it for you. The
smell is normally harmless in a ventilated room and if possible, a window should be left open during the overnight charging
periods. Caged birds, young children and people with chest ailments are best kept out of the room during the first period.
USING YOUR HEATER:
Your heater will be one of two types: either one with automatic control of the overnight charge or
alternatively, one on which you adjust this manually from time to time. If necessary, check which heater you have, by looking at the
model number located on the wall fixing angle. Heaters with model numbers 79341, 79351 or 79361 are automatic heaters,
all other heaters require manual adjustment. The heaters store heat overnight while the cost of Economy 7 electricity is cheaper
and discharge the heat gradually throughout the following day. They use no electricity during the daytime and will operate on
any ’off-peak’ tariff in addition to the Economy 7 tariff for which they are primarily designed.
SHELVES:
A shelf positioned above the heater will enable this space to be used because, as described earlier, it is not safe to
place anything actually on the heater itself. Also, a shelf will cut down the dust streaking on the wall which sometimes results from
the warm air rising from wall mounted radiators of all types. A purpose built range of shelves to suit the TSR heaters are available
from your heater stockists or direct from Creda Heating.

NOTE:
If During any reassembly of the heater a part of the thermal insulation shows damage or deterioration which may impair
safety, it should be replaced by an identical part.
