COMMISSIONING
Set both the Input Control and the Output Control to 6
and leave the heater for 48 hours.
Following the commissioning period adjust the
controls as stated below.
CONTROL FUNCTIONS
THE INPUT CONTROL
For models SH12A, SH18A, SH24A only:
This heater is
fi
tted with a user adjustable automatic input control
which varies the charge taken in response to weather conditions
taking into account the amount of energy already stored in the
heater.
Set at 6 the heater takes maximum charge and at 1 the heater
takes a minimum charge at any room temperature. The casing of
the heater, particularly in late evening, may feel cool, this is quite
normal. The input control may require a few days experimentation
before your comfort level is established.
Initially set the control to 4, the following evening if the room
is too warm reduce to 3 or if it is too cool increase to 5. On
subsequent evenings adjust by half divisions until our comfort
level is achieved.
Having established the setting the input will automatically carry the
amount of heat stored to compensate for weather variations.
CLEANING
To maintain the appearance of the heater wipe occasionally
with a dry cloth when the heater is cool.
Do not use abrasive powders of furniture polish.

SETTING THE CONTROLS
The controls are located on the top panel.
There are no user adjustable controls on the SH6.
For models SH12, SH18, SH24 only:
Initially set the input to 4. If the heater does not maintain a
satisfactory room temperature the following day this setting
should be increased. Conversely if the room temperature is
too high this setting should be reduced.
The input control should only require seasonal adjustments.
THE OUTPUT CONTROL
For all models except SH6
Most of the stored heat is radiated from the casing during
the discharge period. However, some of the heat is emitted
through the grille at the top of the heater and this additional
heat (or boost) is regulated by the Output Control.
With this set to 6 the boost begins in the early afternoon.
Turning the control towards 1 will progressively delay the
commencement of the boost. At 3 the boost will start in the
evening. Once set, the boost will repeat itself automatically
day after day.
If no boost is required e.g. when the room will be unoccupied
for a long period, set the Output Control to 1. With the control
in this position, the heater will take less energy during the next
charging up period.

Discolouration of wall finishes can sometimes occur
immediately above a storage heater due to the properties
of some paints and decorating materials or the presence of
environmental impurities in the air (such as soot or incense
generated from the burning of candles etc.).
