prior to drilling the holes for attachment purposes.
Allowance must be made for the final floor covering, carpet etc, and if any skirting boards are
present, the fixing holes must be a minimum of 400mm above the top edge of the skirting
board and 600mm from the ceiling. Using the plastic plugs and fixing screws provided, attach
the 2 upper fixing brackets to the wall.
It is recommended that the lower brackets may also be secured to the wall using the
remaining fixing screws and plastic wall plugs. If this option is chosen it is suggested that the
heater is hung on the upper brackets and the hole positions for the lower brackets is then
marked on the wall, prior to drilling the holes for attachment purposes.
Operation of the heater
NOTE:
It is normal when the heaters are turned on for the first
time or when they are turned on after having not been used for
a long period of time the heaters may emit some smell and
fumes. This will disappear when the heater has been on a
short while.
HS2020 Turbo Convector heater with switches,
thermostat and timer
Choose a suitable location for the heater, taking into account
the safety instructions above.
Insert the plug of the heater into a suitable socket.
Turn the thermostat knob (
in figure 3)
fully in a clockwise
direction to the maximum setting.
Turn on the heating elements by means of the switch on the
side panel (
in figure 3)
. When the heating elements are on
the switches will illuminate. Three heat levels are available
750W =
I
, 1250W =
II
and 2000W =
III
.
When the desired room temperature has been reached, the
thermostat knob should be turned slowly anti-clockwise until
the thermostat is heard to click off and the lights on the element switches are seen to go out.
After this the heater will keep the air temperature in the room at the set temperature by
switching on and off automatically.
In its minimum (fully anti-clockwise) position, the thermostat provides a frost guard position. In
this position (depending on the size of the room) the heater will maintain the temperature
above freezing.
Fan Operation – ‘Turbo’
This model incorporates an internal fan.The fan will only operate with the thermostat in the
ON
position and can be used when the heating elements are
II
or
III
to blow warm air into the
room.
Notes on operation
A safety thermostat protects the heater against overheating and switches it off
automatically.
If the heater switches itself off, disconnect the mains plug from the socket. After a short
cooling-off phase (approx.15 minutes) the heater can be re-started.
Safety Instructions

Assembly and Installation
Assembly
Before using the heater, the feet (supplied separately in the carton) must be fitted to the unit.
These are to be attached to the base of the heater using the 4 (2
for each foot) self-tapping screws provided, taking care to ensure
that they are located correctly in the bottom ends of the heater
side mouldings (
see Figure 1
).
Wall-mounting
The heater is supplied with 3 sets of fixing brackets, screws and
plastic wall plugs to enable it to be mounted onto a wall if
required. If it is decided to fit the heater to a wall the feet must be
removed. It must not be positioned in-front of, below a power
socket, a shelf, curtains or any other obstruction. Please refer to
the safety instructions.
Having decided on the location of the heater it is necessary to
drill 2 fixing holes 8mm diameter by 43mm deep at 405mm
centres on a horizontal line at a minimum height of 400mm
from the floor. Drill one lower fixing hole 240mm beneath the
two top holes (
see Figure 2
).
Attach the lower bracket to the base of the heater. Place the
heater on the two upper fixing brackets by the rear slot of the
heater. The lower bracket attached the base should project out
at the rear of the heater and space the bottom edge away from
the wall.
If required, the lower bracket may also be secured to the wall using the remaining fixing
screw and plastic wall plug. If this option is chosen it is suggested that the heater is hung on
the upper brackets and the hole positions for the lower brackets is then marked on the wall,
405mm
240mm
