Locate the heater on the top brackets and allow it to hang in place.
Fit the bottom bracket into the slot in the heater and then fix it to the wall.
Test that the heater is now securely fixed to the wall.
Positioning the heater
Always ensure that the heater is stood on a firm, level base near to, but
not directly beneath, a suitable mains supply socket.
Ensure that curtains and furniture are not positioned close to the chosen
position, as this would create a potential fire hazard.
We recommend that the heater should be wall-mounted in rooms where
children may be left unattended, see ‘Important Safety Advice’.
Portable use
Lay the heater on its back and remove the wall mounting brackets - see
Wall mounting
. Locate and remove the foot fixing screw - see
Fig. 4(a)
.
Clip the foot in place and secure using the foot fixing screw.
NOTE – The wall mounting brackets must be removed before the foot
can be fitted.
Using the heater
WARNING: DO NOT USE THE HEATER UNTIL THE FEET OR WALL
BRACKETS ARE FITTED CORRECTLY.
The product can be used as an installed or portable unit. Once the desired
application has been decided upon and the requirements above have
been met the product is ready to be used. Simply plug in and switch on
at the wall socket.
Please note – the element has been coated with a protective film which
will burn off during the first few minutes of use and may cause a small
amount of fuming. This is quite normal – the fumes are non-toxic and will
quickly disappear.
We recommend that you open a window to ventilate the room when using
the heater for the first time.
Controls
Thermostat (all models)
The thermostat controls the heat output according to the room temperature.
This ensures that the heater will not produce heat unnecessarily when the
room is warm.
To set the temperature you require, Gradually turn the thermostat knob - see
Fig. 5
clockwise until the desired temperature is reached. Allow some time
between increments for the room temperature to stabilise.
Alternatively to heat a cold room quickly, turn the thermostat knob to the
Max position. When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn
the thermostat knob anti-clockwise until the thermostat clicks off. The heater
will then automatically maintain this room temperature.
The thermostat also has a frost protection setting marked ‘ ’. This setting is
useful in areas such as garages to prevent frost damage. If the thermostat is
set to its minimum setting ‘ ’, the heater will cycle ON and OFF to maintain
a temperature of approximately 5°C to help protect against frosty conditions.
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 wall-mount it – 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.
