Assembling the heater
Remove all parts of the heater from the packaging. Before
assembling the heater please ensure the heater body and all parts
are free from oil and that the supply cord and plug are undamaged.
Turn the radiator upside down on a carpet or other soft surface
to avoid damage as shown in (A) Fig. 2. Please ensure that it is
supported to prevent it from toppling.
Slide the front foot onto the slide way, located on the bottom of
the front panel, until you hear a click. See (B) Fig. 2.
Then take the rear foot and slide it onto the bottom of the rearmost
fin, as shown in (C) Fig. 2, until you hear a click. Ensure that the
face with the screw holes face inwards.
Lift the radiator clear of the floor, then turn it back upright and
stand it on its feet. It is now ready for use.
Positioning the radiator
Always ensure that the radiator is stood on a firm, level base near
to, but not directly beneath, a suitable fixed socket outlet. Unwind
the mains lead fully before plugging in the radiator. DO NOT pull
the radiator along by the mains lead.
Ensure that curtains and furniture are not closer than 1 metre
from the chosen position, as this would create a potential fire
hazard. Ensure that there is at least 300mm above the radiator
of unobstructed space.
Before switching on
Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any warning
labels carefully) and that all warnings and instructions have been
read carefully and followed.
Operation
When you are certain that you have completed the above, plug
in and switch on at the wall socket. The neon will glow when the
product is operating.
Please Note – We recommend that you open a window to ventilate
the room when using the heater for the first time.
Thermostat control - see Fig. 3
The heat output is controlled by the thermostat,
according to the room temperature. Turn the
knob clockwise to the maximum setting.
When the room is warm enough, reduce the
setting slowly until the radiator just clicks
off. The radiator will now cycle on and off to
maintain your selected room temperature.
When the knob is turned to position marked
“0” the radiator will give a small click and the
radiator is powered off.
Note: If the radiator does not come on when the thermostat is on
a low setting, this is normally because the room is warmer than
the thermostat setting and is not a fault.
Safety - Overheat protection
For your safety this appliance is fitted with a thermal cut-out. In
the event that the product overheats for some reason, the cut-out
prevents excessive temperatures on the product by cutting the
power to the heater. Once the radiator has cooled down, it will
reset automatically, it will continue to cycle on and off automatically
until the reason for overheating is removed.

Tilt Switch
The product is fitted with a safety tilt switch which will prevent it
from operating should the heater be tilted more than 45
O
from
vertical. In the event that the heater tips over the tilt switch will
prevent the heater from operating, unplug the heater and allow it
to cool before standing it back up.
Cleaning
WARNING:
Always disconnect from the power supply and allow
the radiator to cool before cleaning.
Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaning powder or polish of any
kind on the body of the radiator, as these can damage the finish.
Wipe the radiator 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 control area.
