Heat Selector Switch
- see
Fig. 4a
and
Fig. 4b
Heat selection is available on all models as an economy feature.
On all models the switch operates as follows:
I
- The heater operates with low heat output
II
- The heater operates with max. heat output
Mechanical Timer Operation
- see
Fig. 5
Set the
I
- - slide switch on the timer (
Fig. 6
) to:
Position - Heating Off
Position I - Manual operation
This setting allows power to the
heater uninterrupted by the timer settings.
The heat selector switch and thermostat
will control the output (see ‘Controls’).
Position - ‘Auto’ operation
DO NOT disconnect this heater from the
mains supply unless it is being taken out
of use (e.g. in summer or for storage),
otherwise the timer clock will stop.
Setting the time of day
To set the time of day, rotate the timer dial clockwise (indicated by the arrow)
until the correct time of day is opposite the reference mark (see
Fig.
6
). The 24-hour clock is used ; e.g. time shown for 4 pm is ‘16’ (16:00hrs).
Setting the ‘Auto’ ON and OFF times
To set the timer:
1.
Using your finger tip or the tip of a pencil,
push in as many segments as necessary
around the dial, according to the times
you don’t require heat – see
Fig. 7
. Each
segment pushed in switches the heater OFF
for that part of the hour. All other segments
will be ON. For example,
Fig. 8
shows the
timer set to switch the heater ON between
9.00am and 4.00pm and between 9.30pm
and 7.00am.
2.
You can select as many ON periods
as you like, within the 24-hour day.
The settings will repeat every day until changed.
3.
To change ON and OFF times, simply push in any ‘ON’ segments you
wish to cancel and pull out new ‘ON’ segments as required.
Switching to auto
Set the heat selector and thermostat for
the heat output required.
Check that the clock shows the correct
time of day. Set the
I
- -
slide switch
to (see
Fig. 9
) - the heater will switch
ON and OFF according to the timer
settings (see
Fig. 8
).
IMPORTANT NOTES
Remember to observe all safety warnings when operating the heater on
auto setting unattended or attended.
If the mains supply to the heater is interrupted, the timer clock will stop until
power is restored ; reset the time of day to ensure correct ON and OFF times.
Turbo Fan models
- see
Fig. 10
The turbo fan can be used to circulate
the heat around the room to help it
reach the desired temperature more
quickly.
DXC20F & DXC20FTi
To circulate the heat around the room
to reach the desired temperature
quickly, set the heat selector switch
to either the low or high setting and
the turbo switch on. In warm weather
the fan can be used to circulate cool
air. Set the two switches to OFF and
the turbo switch to ON, then turn the
thermostat knob fully clockwise to the
maximun setting.
DXC30F & DXC30FTi
On this model with the
I
/
II
switch at position
I
and the turbo switch in it’s
Off position ( neon off ) there is no heat output from the convector. With
the
I
/
II
switch still in the
I
position you can have 1kw output but only with
the turbo boost On (neon on). To get an output of 2kW leave the turbo
switch off and set the
I
/
II
switch to position
II
. (Note 2kw is only possible
with turbo Off). To achieve 3kw output now turn on the turbo switch which
will combine the 2kW setting with a 1kW fan boost setting to give the total
output of 3kw with fan boost.
Note that the fan and the neon on the Turbo switch will cycle on and off
under the control of the thermostat – see ‘Thermostat’.
Safety – overheat protection
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a thermal cut-out. In the event
that the product overheats, the cut-out switches the heater off automatically.
To bring the heater back into operation, remove the cause of the overheating,
then unplug or turn off the electrical supply to the heater for a few minutes.
When the heater has cooled sufficiently, re-connect and switch on the
heater.
Important Notes
Although this heater is manufactured to comply with the relevant safety
standards, certain types of carpets could become discoloured by the
temperatures under a portable heater. If you are concerned about this,
we recommend that you contact the carpet manufacturer for guidance.
Alternatively, either stand the heater on a suitable base to shield the carpet
or call our Helpline for further advice.
You may notice some parts of the element appearing to be hotter from time
to time because of the variable airflow through the heater. This does not
cause a safety hazard.
The heat outlet grille may become discoloured with use – this is caused by
airborne pollution and is not a fault.
