Setting the time of day
To set the time of day, rotate the timer dial clockwise (indicated by the
arrow) until the correct time of day is opposite the reference mark (see
Fig. 6
). The 24-hour clock is used ; e.g. time shown for 4 pm is ‘16’
(16:00hrs).
Setting the auto ON and OFF times
To set the timer :
1.
Using your finger tip or the tip of a pencil, push in as many segments
as necessary around the dial, according to the times you don’t
require heat – see
Fig. 8
. Each segment pushed in switches the
heater OFF for that part of the hour. All other segments will be ON.
For example,
Fig. 10
shows the timer set to switch the heater ON
between 7 am and
9 am and between 4 pm and 9.30 pm.
2.
You can select as many ON periods
as you like, within the 24-hour
day. The settings will repeat every day until changed.
3.
To change ON and OFF times, simply push in any ‘ON’ segments you
wish to cancel and pull out new ON segments as required.
Switching to ‘Auto’
Set the heat selector and thermostat for the heat output required.
Check that the clock shows the correct time of day. Set the
I -
- O
slide
switch to position marked
(see
Fig. 9
) - the convector will switch ON
and OFF according to the timer settings (see
Fig. 10
).
IMPORTANT NOTES
Remember to observe all safety warnings when operating the heater on
auto setting unattended or attended. If the mains supply to the heater is
interrupted, the timer clock will stop until power is restored ; reset the time
of day
to ensure correct ON and OFF times.
Turbo Fan
The turbo fan is used to boost the airflow around the room. The fan will
circulate the heat around the room to reach the desired temperature
more quickly.
Once power is supplied to the heater & the timer is in an On position
each model can be set to run as per settings in the Table below.

M o d e l s
Fan/Neon Off
Fan/Neon On
GX300A

Note: On both models turbo boost is only possible on full power operation.
Note: there is no cold blow operation on GX300A and GX300R and all
heat settings operate under the control of the thermostat.
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.
Cleaning and User Maintenance
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.
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.
