Positioning the heater
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.
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.
Turbo Fan model DY77
We recommend that the heater should be wall-mounted in rooms where
children may be left unattended.
See also ‘Important Safety Advice’.
The turbo fan is used to boost
the airflow around the room.

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.

NOTE – The wall mounting brackets indicated in Fig. 3 can be left secured
to the base if they are not required.
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.
Using the heater
Plug in and switch on at the wall socket.
Important Notes
On the DY78, the red POWER ON neon will light when the heater is
connected to the power supply.
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.
On models DY73 & DY78 the heat selector switch positions are as
follows:
I
- Low heat output
II
- High heat output
On model DY78 there is also an On / Off switch - operation as follows:
O
- Off
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.
I
- On
On model DY77 there are two neon On/Off heat selector switches
allowing selection of half heat ( one switch on ) or full heat ( both switches
on ).
The heat outlet grille may become discoloured with use – this is caused
by airborne pollution and is not a fault.
Cleaning and User Maintenance
The heat output is controlled by the thermostat - see
‘Thermostat’
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.
WARNING – ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE CLEANING THE HEATER.
Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaning powder or polish of any kind on
the body of the heater.
Controls
Allow the heater to cool, then wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust and a
damp cloth (not wet) to clean off stains. Be careful not to allow moisture
into the heater.
Thermostat (all models)
The thermostat controls the heat output according to the room
temperature.
After Sales Service
This ensures that the heater will not produce heat unnecessarily when the
room is warm.
Your appliance is guaranteed for three years from the date of purchase.
We undertake to repair or exchange free of charge within this period, any
part found to be defective due to a manufacturing fault.
To set the temperature you require, turn the thermostat knob clockwise
until the desired temperature is reached. Alternatively to heat a cold room
quickly, turn the thermostat knob up fully. When the room has reached the
desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise until the
thermostat just clicks off.
Your rights under this guarantee are additional to your statutory rights,
which in turn are not affected by this guarantee.
The heater will now automatically operate at this temperature.
Please retain your receipt as proof of purchase.
