SURROUNDINGS OF A BATH, A SHOWER OR A SWIMMING
POOL.
DO NOT COVER THE APPLIANCE or place material or garments
on it, or obstruct the air circulation around this appliance, for
example with curtains or furniture, as this could cause
overheating and a fire risk.
DO NOT PLACE AEROSOLS OR OTHER CONTAINERS
SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT IN THE DIRECT AIRFLOW FROM THE
UNIT.
THIS HEATER MUST NOT BE LOCATED IMMEDIATELY BELOW
A FIXED SOCKET OUTLET.
WARNING – DISCONNECT THE HEATER FROM THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE UNDERTAKING SERVICE OR
REPAIR.
WARNING – If the appliance is fitted in a bathroom, a cable outlet
will be necessary with the supply to the unit controlled by a
double pole switch. The switch if inside the bathroom should
be pull cord operated and if outside should be adjacent to the
entrance door. The appliance must be mounted so that no part
of it can be touched by any person using bath or shower.

CORRECTLY IN POSITION.
General
The heater has a loading of 2KW. It is designed for permanent wall
mounting and is suitable for operation on A.C. electricity supply having
the same voltage as shown on the rating label.
The heater is fitted with an internally mounted selector switch which on
installation of the heater allows a choice of 1kW or 2kW output to suit
the dimensions of the room to be heated.
In rooms of less than 9 – 11 cubic m. (350 - 400 cubic ft.) 1kW output
should be selected, otherwise nuisance tripping of the thermal overload
cut-out may occur.
NOTE : THE SWITCH HAS BEEN FACTORY SET FOR 2kW
OPERATION.
SUPPLY CABLE IS NOT SUPPLIED WITH THIS APPLIANCE AND IT
SHOULD THEREFORE BE INSTALLED BY A COMPETENT
ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE IEE REGULATIONS.
The Controls
The
cut-out
is a safety device which switches off the heater and fan if for
any reason the appliance overheats (see ‘Safety’).
The
thermal fuse link
is provided as an added safety feature, and operates
to open circuit if there is abnormal overheating within the
appliance. The
operation of these safety devices is described under ‘Safety’
The
pull cord switch
operates the ON/OFF switch. ( An indicator light
illuminates to show when the heater is ON and does not illuminate when
the heater is OFF) .
The heate
r
is fitted with an
adjustable thermostat
, which has three
different settings : 1. - Low, 2. - Medium, 3 - High. This gives you an
approximate room temperature range of 18°C - 32°C depending on room
size. The temperature switches to half heat when the room warms up.
Full heat will be switched on automatically when the room temperature
falls. The thermostat will only function when 2KW is selected. The
thermostat has been factory set on ‘2’ (Medium).
Safety
Cut-Out
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 overheating,
then turn off the electrical supply to the heater for a few minutes.
When the heater has cooled sufficiently reconnect and switch on the
heater.
Fuse Link
A thermal fuse link is provided as an added safety feature. If the fuse link
operates and opens circuit it is the result of abnormal overheating within
the appliance, and servicing of the appliance by a competent service
engineer will be required in order to ensure the future safe operation of
the heater. Customer Services should be contacted, who will arrange the
replacement of any faulty parts and the fitting of a new fuse link.
