attention has to be given where children and vulnerable people are present.
For your safety this heater is tted 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 o automatically until the reason for overheating is removed.
The display screen may ash red to indicate the product has overheated. To reset the display,

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
WARNING - The electrical installation of this heater must be carried out by a suitably qualied
or trained electrician, and be in strict accordance with the current wiring Regulations BS
7671. The supply must be connected via a switched fused spur with a fuse rated suitably
for the appliances ex. Failure to follow these instructions will mean that the manufacturer’s
instructions have not been adhered to. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS.
WARNING - Minimum clearances and IP zone requirements must be adhered to in accordance
with the current wiring regulations. The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
GREEN AND YELLOW: EARTH
BLUE: NEUTRAL
BROWN: LIVE
• This heater must be earthed
• Not suitable for connection via a plug top
• Do not locate the heater immediately below a xed electrical point i.e. socket outlet.
The heater is tted with a length of exible cable type H05VV-F size 3 x 1.0mm² for 500W to 2kW and
3 x 1.5mm² on 3.0kW models for connection to the xed wiring of the premises through a suitable
connection box positioned adjacent to the heater. A means for disconnection must be incorporated
in the xed wiring of the premises in accordance with the current wiring regulations. The supply
circuit to the heater must incorporate a double pole isolating switch having a contact separation of
at least 3mm. Products that are supplied without a plug are for installation into the xed wiring of the
property, via a suitable double pole switched fused spur with a fuse rated suitably for the appliances
ex. Typical fuse ratings for 230V equipment - Up to 700W = 3A, over 700W = 13A.
In installation the supply cord may be cut to the appropriate length for the electrical connection
point. Excess cable should not be inserted and stored behind the heater.
WARNING: This heater must not be connected to the electricity supply via an external switching
device (such as a timer) or a circuit that is regularly switched on and o by the utility supplier.
Failure to follow this warning could result in the heater’s thermal cut-o being inadvertently
reset and could create a re hazard. Cables/exes that are supplied pre-tted to the product
must NOT be extended.

How does the heater control work?
The control allows you to choose when you want heat and at what temperature. When using
a timer mode (see below) will display on the home screen to tell you when the heater is
maintaining the temperature displayed. The current time will be displayed when the heater is
outside of a timed heating period.
When Manual, Schedule or Frost modes are being used the heater will always maintain
the temperature shown on the home screen.
Set the Time
To set the date and time on the heater, press Menu, then press Up three times to highlight the
Date & time Icon, press Enter. Use the Down and Up to increase/decrease the hour, press
Enter to conrm. Repeat this process to set the minutes, Day, Month and Year. Press Enter to
conrm and return to home screen.
Set the Temperature
The temperature shown on the display is the target room temperature known as Setpoint.
This is the temperature that the heater will maintain during the heating periods. If the room
temperature is above this temperature then the heater will not operate. The heater leaves
the factory with this temperature set at 21oC which represents a typical comfortable room
temperature. If you require a dierent room temperature then press either Down or Up until the
display shows the temperature you require
Your heater comes pre-programmed with four heating periods. These periods set the time
and temperature at which the heater operates in Comfort ON mode. These four periods are:
• P1: 07:00 – 09:00 21oC
• P2: 10:00 – 12:00 7oC
• P3: 13:00 – 15:00 7oC
• P4: 17:00 – 21:00 21oC
Child Lock
If you need to lock the controls so that the settings cannot be changed then activate the Child
Lock. To lock the controls press and hold both the Back button and Enter button together for
3 seconds. The Lock icon will appear on the screen. To unlock repeat the action by pressing
both the Back button and Enter for three seconds.
Quick Start Guide

The controls are located on the top of the heater. The heater is tted with an adjustable electronic
controller consisting of a display screen and six touch sensitive buttons.
The heater is tted with an adjustable thermostat enabling the room temperature to be
controlled. The minimum room temperature is 7
o
C. The maximum temperature is set to 26oC
by default, however, this can be increased to 32oC if required. A temperature of 21oC would be
comfortable for most people.
Note: Your heater may produce some noise during operation. This noise is caused by the
expansion and contraction of the element as it changes temperature, and is normal for this
type of product. Whilst the noise produced is usually very quiet, certain environmental factors
can make it more noticeable, such as hard ooring or minimal furnishings.
Note: Should the heater fail to operate, this may be due to the room temperature being higher
than the thermostat setting.
