GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the heater from the packaging. Check that neither the heater nor the power cable has been damaged during transport. Do not operate the heater if damaged.
Your convector is suitable for either freestanding or wall mounting usage. Do not assemble the feet if wall
mounting.
ASSEMBLING THE FEET
To fit the feet to the appliance, proceed as follows:
Insert the foot into the slot at the side and push it in all the way until it hooks onto the two teeth (Fig. 1).
WALL-MOUNTING
IMPORTANT: Before drilling into any wall ensure no electrical cables are present in the area.
In order to wall mount your convector please proceed as follows:
1. Fix two brackets “A” following carefully the dimensions as indicated in figure 2. Use a 6 mm masonry
drill and suitable wall plugs and 2 x No 8 screws (minimum lenght 25 mm).
2. Hang the convector on the two brackets fixed to the wall and insert metal brackets “B” into the bottom
rear section of the base of the convector as indicated in figure 3, one at each end.
Mark the positions for fixing these brackets to the wall.
This bracket when fixed retains the base of the convector in a fixed position, preventing removal.
3. Remove the convector heater from the hanging brackets and drill the wall for 2 x suitable wall plugs and
insert them.
4. Fit the convector to the 2 brackets “A”. Insert Brackets “B” to the convector base and fix brackets “B” to
the wall plugs by means of 2 x No 8 screws ( minimum lenght 25 mm).
Your convector is now wall mounted.
The appliances should not be installed directly under a wall power socket.
Do not use your heater in a bathroom.
The appliance should not be installed immediately below a permanent mains outlet.
Position the appliance so that the plug and the outlet can be easily reached even after installation.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
- Before plugging the appliance into the mains, check that your supply voltage is the same as that shown
on the rating plate of the appliance.
- If using more than one appliance at a time, it is important to ensure that the ring main is adequate to
cope with the power requirements.
- This appliance complies with EEC Directive 89/336 relating to electromagnetic compatibility.
HOW TO USE IT
TURNING ON
Insert the plug into an electrical socket, rotate the thermostat knob (if provided) to maximum and turn the
unit on as follows using the power selector knob:
• Turn the power selector to position 1 to select minimum output (the min indicator light will be on).
• Turn the power selector to position 2 to select medium output (the med indicator light will be on).
• Turn the power selector to position 3 to select maximum output (both indicator lights swill be on).
Adjusting the thermostat (see fig. 1)
Leave the thermostat at its highest setting until the room has reached the required temperature. Then slowly
turn the thermostat back until the indicator light goes off.
The temperature selected in this way will then be regulated automatically and kept constant by the thermostat.
If your unit is a three-output version, we suggest that on days when temperatures are not particularly cold,
select minimum output to optimise savings and consumption.
Frost protection function
With the thermostat dial to the position and an output selected, the appliance will maintain a minimum
room temperature of approximately 5°C thus preventing freezing with a minimum energy consumption.
Models with turbo fan boost (see fig. 1)
A number of models have a turbo fan boost for even more rapid and uniform heating. To use this function,
press the switch on the fan grill.

MODELS WITH A 24 HOUR TIMER (Fig. 4)
To programme the timer;
- Check the time on your watch. If for example it is 10am, turn the number disc of the timer in a clockwise direction until the number 10 on the disc lines up with the arrow head marker ▲ on the time-clock.
The timer is normally supplied with all the teeth pushed into the centre allowing continuous operation.
To set the periods of time you would like the appliance to be off continue as follows;
- Each tooth corresponds to a period of 15 minutes of time. Push the teeth with your thumbnail to the outer
rim of the timer. At this point, the sectors that correspond to the periods to be on and off will be visible.
- Turn the appliance on and set it to the heat setting and temperature level on the thermostat that is required.
- The heater will now function automatically everyday, switching on and off according to your selection.
(Important; the plug must always be inserted into the electrical socket and switched on)
- To vary the programming times, simply return the teeth to their original position and set new periods of functioning.
- If you desire to operate the heater without programming it, push all the teeth toward the centre (i.e. in
the mode as normally supplied)
- To completely turn off the heater, turn off all the switches and remove the plug from the mains socket.
MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance, unplug the heater from the mains and wait for it to cool. The convector requires no particular maintenance. It is sufficient to remove the dust with a soft, dry cloth. Never use
abrasive powders or solvents. If necessary remove concentrated areas of dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
WARNINGS
ATTENTION: in order to avoid any danger caused by an accidental resetting of the safety system, this
appliance must not be powered through an external timer.
- Do not use the heater in the immediate surrondings of a bath, a shower or a swimming pool.
- Never use the heater to dry laundry.
- Never place the power cable on top of the heater while it is hot.
- Only use the heater in an upright position.
- Do not block the hot-air outlet grilles or the intake grille located on the bottom of the heater.
- The heater must be positioned at least 50cm from furniture or other objects.
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or it’s service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
- Do not use this appliance in rooms which have an area smaller than 4m

. We recommend that you
not place the heater in a draught, because strong draughts of air may adversely affect the equipment’s
operational efficiency.
- The heater must not be located directly below a socket-outlet.
- IMPORTANT: Never for any reason cover the appliance during operation as this could lead to dangerous overheating.
-A safety device intervenes and turns off the appliance in the event of overheating or because the
appliance is positioned in a strong draught of air. To reactivate it, remove the plug from the electrical
outlet, allow the appliance to cool (about 5’), remove the cause of the overheating/draught and then
reconnect the appliance to the mains and turn it back on.
-A number of models have a special device to cut off current if the unit is overturned, placed at an angle
or knocked, an acoustic warning indicates this problem.
- The use of an extension lead is not recommended, as overheating of the extension lead may occur
during the operation of the heater.
- As with any electrical appliance, whilst the instructions aim to cover as many eventualities as possible,
caution and common sense should be applied when operating your appliance, particularly in the vicinity of young children.
- The appliance is not intended for use by young children or the infirm without supervision.
- Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
