Important Safety Advice
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock, and injury to persons, including the
following:
IMPORTANT – The wall brackets supplied with the
appliance must be used.
IMPORTANT – If the heater is installed in a room
containing a bath or shower , it must be so installed that
switches and other controls cannot be touched by a
person using a bath or shower.
WARNING - DO NOT USE THIS HEA TER IN THE IMMEDIA TE
SURROUNDINGS OF A BA TH, A SHOWER OR A SWIMMING
POOL.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not locate the heater immediately below a fixed socket
outlet or connection box.
Do not cover the heater. Do not place material or
garments on the heater, or obstruct the air circulation
around the heater, for instance by curtains or pushing
furniture up against the heater, as this could cause
overheating and a fire risk.
NEVER cover or obstruct in any way the heat outlet slots
at the top of the heater or the air inlet slots in the base of
the heater.
WARNING – THE SURF ACES OF THIS HEATER CAN BE HOT .
Momentary contact with any part of the heater should
not cause injury. However, aged or infirm persons or
young children should not be left unsupervised in the
vicinity of the heater unless a suitable guard is fitted.
This appliance is not intended for use by children or
other persons without assistance or supervision if their
physical, sensory or mental capabilities prevent them
from using it safely. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Note that due care and consideration must be taken
when using this heater in series with a thermal control,
a program controller, a timer or any other device that
switches on the heat automatically, since a fire risk
exists when the heater is accidentally covered or
displaced.
If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.

Thermostat Operation
The heater is fitted with an adjustable thermostat enabling
the room temperature to be controlled by adjusting the setting
accordingly. The
approximately 5°C and may be used for protection against
frost. Higher temperature settings range from 1-6 (max.)
creating a room temperature of approximately 30°C.
A neon indicator light glows when the appliance is actually
heating.
Switch on the heater and turn the thermostat knob to mark 6
opposite the indicator mark (located on centre right of the
knob - see Fig. 4 & 5), and set selector switch to full heat
output to warm the room rapidly. When the room temperature
has reached the desired level, turn the thermostat knob back
slowly until the thermostat just clicks off. The heater will then
maintain the room temperature at the chosen level, provided
that the correct size of heater has been selected for the room
to be heated.
NOTE – Should your heater fail to come on when the
thermostat knob is at a low setting, this may be due to the
room temperature being higher than the thermostat setting.

Operation - MT and MT7 Timer Models
Control of Output and Temperature (see Fig. 5)
The slide switch on the timer unit controls the electricity
supply to the heating elements on MT and MT7 models.
The switch marked I - II (half heat – full heat) provides a
choice of output as desired.
Access to the controls
The controls cover (see ‘x’ in Fig. 1) on your heater has a
latch which may be locked shut if desired using a small
bladed screwdriver - see Fig. 3.
To open the cover insert the blade of the screwdriver in the
small slot and rotate a quarter of a turn clockwise to
disengage the latch. The cover may then be hinged back
towards the wall for access to the controls.

Safety - Overheat protection
For your safety this appliance is fitted with a thermal cut-out.
In the event that the product overheats for some reason, the
cut-out prevents excessive temperatures on the product by
cutting the power to the heater. Once the heater has cooled
down, it will reset automatically, it will continue to cycle on
and off automatically until the reason for overheating is
removed.
Cleaning
Before commencing cleaning, unplug the heater and allow it
to cool. Disconnect the electricity supply to the appliance.
The outside can be cleaned by wiping it over with a soft damp
cloth and then dried. Do not use abrasive cleaning powders
or furniture polish, as this can damage the surface finish.
To release heater from the wall bracket for cleaning or
redecoration, depress latch on both brackets (see Fig. 2)
and hinge forward.

Energy Saving Tips
The energy we use to heat, light and power our homes
contributes over a quarter of the UK’s carbon emissions, the
principle contributor to climate change.
Around half the energy used in the home is for heating and
hot water, so using your heating system efficiently will not
only help the environment, but also save you money !
Energy efficiency tips for heating and hot water
1. Don’t set the temperature too high…
By reducing the thermostat setting by just 1ºC can reduce
your energy use by as much as 10%. And if you’re going
away for the winter, leave the thermostat on the frost protection
setting to provide protection from freezing at a minimum cost.
2. Use it where you need it…
Set the appropriate temperature on your heaters for the room
they are in; for example, leave the thermostat on a heater in a
spare bedroom on a lower setting.
3. Use it when you need it…
Use heaters fitted with timers or linked to central controllers
to turn the heating on only when you need it and automatically
switch it off when you don’t.
4. Curtains…
Close your curtains at dusk to stop heat escaping through
the windows.
5. Windows…
Nearly 25% of heat loss can occur through poorly insulated
frames and single glazing. If you can’t afford to double glaze
all your windows, go for the rooms you heat most.
6. Treat your hot water t ank...give it a jacket
An insulating jacket for hot water tanks only costs a few pounds
and pays for itself within months. Fit one that’s at least 75mm
(3") thick and you could save £10-£15 a year.
7. Water …
Use a shower if you have one to save time, money and water.
o
Don’t set the thermostat too high on your water heater - 60
140oF is usually adequate for bathing and washing.
Put the plug in when running hot water in your sink - leaving
hot taps running is both wasteful and expensive.
Ensure dripping taps are repaired quickly. In just one day,
you could waste enough water to fill a bath.

Other Energy Saving Tips for Around the Home
1. Lights
Turn off lights whenever you leave a room for more than ten
minutes.
Use low-energy bulbs wherever you can as they use less
than a quarter of the electricity used by ordinary light bulbs
and last ten times longer!
2. Cooking
Use the right size pan for the food and cooker hob.
Keep saucepan lids on - this enables you to turn down the
heat.
Boil water for cooking in a kettle.
The product complies with the European Safety Standards EN60335-2-30 and the European Standard Electromagnetic Compatibility
