Note - Timer Memory Back Up Batteries
- Once the heater has been
left plugged in with the socket switched on for at least 12 hours the
timer’s memory back up batteries will be fully charged.
Once the timer batteries are fully charged, if there is a power cut or if
the heater is disconnected from the mains for less than 100 hours, then
the timer will continue to keep time & the settings in the memory will
remain intact.
If however the timer back up batteries have not been charged fully, or if
the heater is deprived of power for longer than 100 hours, then the time
and the programme settings are likely to be lost and you may therefore
need to reset the time and the programme before using the Auto mode
again.
Discard leaky batteries
Dispose of batteries in the proper manner according to Provincial and
local regulations. Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different
battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all the batteries are not replaced at
the same time, if disposed of in a fire or if an attempt is made to charge
a battery not intended to be recharged.
Safety Overheat Protection
The heater is fitted with a thermal safety cut-out which will switch off the
heater should it overheat for any reason. If the cut-out
operates it is the result of abnormal overheating, and the Customer
Services Helpline should be contacted for further advice.
