SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(to be read before operating the heater)

1) Do not use the heater unless it is correctly mounted
to a wall, or the feet are correctly attached.

2) Ensure the power supply to the socket into which
the heater is plugged is in accordance with the rating
label on the heater and that the socket is earthed.

3) Keep the mains lead away from the hot body of
the heater.

4) The heater is not intended for use in bathrooms,
laundry areas or similar indoor locations. Never place
the heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other
water container.

5) Do not use outdoors.

6) Do not cover or obstruct any of the heat outlet grilles
or the air intake openings of the heater.

7) Do not place the heater on carpets having a very
deep pile.

8) Always ensure that the heater is placed on a firm
level surface. Ensure that the heater is not
positioned close to curtains or furniture as this
could create a fire hazard.

9) Do not position the heater in front of, or immediately
below, a wall socket.

10) Do not position the heater under a shelf unless a
minimum gap of 250mm exists between the top
edge of the heater and the underside of the shelf

11) Do not insert any object through the heat outlet or
air intake grilles of the heater.

12) Do not use the heater in areas where flammable
liquids are stored or where flammable fumes may
be present.

13) Particular care should be taken when the heater is
situated in areas occupied by children or invalids.

14) Always unplug the heater when moving it from one
location to another.

15) Do not use the heater if the power cord is damaged.
If the power cord is damaged it must be replaced
by a recognised service agent or other qualified
person. If the plug is damaged, see ‘Plug
Replacement’ details (back page).

Turbo Fan Operation - Models G2TCH and G2TCHT

1) These heaters incorporate an internal fan, which can be switched on independently of the
heating elements.

2) Fan Operation: This is operated by means of the switch with the fan symbol along side it.
The fan will only operate with the thermostat in the ‘on’ position and can be used when the
heating elements are ‘on’ to blow warm air around the room. In warm conditions the fan
can be used with the heating elements ‘off’ to blow cool air around the room.

Plug Replacement

If the plug is damaged and requires replacement, follow the wiring instructions supplied with
the new plug.

+ The green and yellow wire must be connected

to the terminal marked with the earth symbol
or coloured green or green and yellow.

+ The blue wire must be connected to the

terminal marked with the letter N or
coloured black/blue.

+ The brown wire must be connected to

the terminal marked with the letter L or
coloured red/brown.

+A 13 amp plug to BS 1363 must be fitted with 13 amp fuse to BS 1362.

CLEANING THE HEATER

1) Always un-plug the heater from the wall socket and allow it to cool down before cleaning.

2) Clean the outside of the heater by wiping with a damp cloth and buff with a dry cloth.
Do not use any detergents or abrasives and do not allow any water to enter the heater.

STORING THE HEATER

When the heater is not used for long periods of time it should be protected from dust and
stored in a clean dry place.

Timer Operation - Models G2CHT and G2TCHT

1) These heaters are fitted with a 24hr segment timer. Each segment is equivalent to a
15 minute time interval. The timer can be preset to switch the heater ON and OFF in any
24 hour period.

2) Timer Operation

The centre of the timer has a 3 position slide switch.

In the central position (denoted by the clock symbol) the timer will switch the heater on
and off at times set by the segments, (see setting the timer, below).

The position denoted by the ‘I’, is a timer override position. The timer will continue to run
but power will be fed continuously to the heater. This enables the heater to be on all the
time if required.

In the position denoted by the ‘O’, the timer continues to run but no power is fed to the
heater.

3) Setting the Timer

Ensure the slide switch on the timer is at the mid position next to the clock symbol.

Rotate the outer ring of the timer in a clockwise direction until the current time is lined up
with the arrow pointer, i.e. if the time the timer is being set is 8pm, rotate the outer ring until
the number 20 is in line with the arrow pointer.

Set the time the heater is required to run by pulling the segments around the outer ring
forward appropriate to the running period(s) required.

When set, the heater will operate each day during the times programmed. Note, the heater
must always be plugged into a power socket, the element switches must be in the on
position and the thermostat must be suitably set to ensure the heater will come on.

If the heater is required to run continuously the slide switch on the timer should be set to
the ‘I’ position.

If it is subsequently required to revert back to timer operation, the slide switch on the timer
should be set to the central (clock) position.

Note: When using in timer mode, due consideration should be given to the fact that the
heater may come on whilst unattended.

ASSEMBLY OF THE HEATER

The heater can be either wall mounted or free standing.

+Free Standing

If the heater is to be free standing, the two feet
supplied, must first be fitted to the base of the unit.
These are attached using the 8 self-tapping screws
provided (4 for each foot). Take care that they are
positioned correctly, and screw firmly in position.

+Wall Mounting

If it is intended to wall mount the heater, the feet should not be fitted. Instead use the wall
mounting kit provided.

Chose the position to mount the heater carefully. It must not be in front of or below a power
socket. It must not be below a shelf, curtains or any other obstruction. Also refer to the
safety instructions above.

Having decided on the location of the heater, drill 2 fixing holes 8mm diameter by 43mm
deep at 396mm centres on a horizontal line at a minimum height of 400mm from the floor.
Allowance must be made for any floor coverings, 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. Using the plastic plugs and fixing screws provided, attach 2 of the fixing brackets
(1 left-handed and 1 right-handed) to the wall. The other pair of fixing brackets must be
attached to the base of the heater using the feet retaining screws so that the brackets
project out at the rear of the heater and space the bottom edge away from the wall.

If required, these 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: When the heater is turned on for the first time, or after having not been used for a long

period, it may emit some smell and fumes. These will disappear when the heater as been on for
a short while.

Thermostat Operation - All Models

1) Insert the plug of the heater into a suitable socket.

2) Turn the thermostat knob fully in a clockwise direction to the maximum setting.

3) Turn on the heating elements by means of the rocker switches on the side panel. When the
heating elements are on the switches will illuminate. For maximum heat output both
switches should be on.

4) 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.

5) In it’s 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.
