ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
- Before using the appliance check that your supply voltage is the same of that shown on the
rating label of the unit.
- THIS APPLIANCE CONFORMS TO DIRECTIVE 89/336/CEE GOVERNING RADIO INTERFERENCE.
INSTALLATION
The heater can be used on a horizontal surface.
Models with a motorised base can be wall-mounted, using 3 screws and 3 wall plugs.
To wall-mount, proceed as follows:
Drill holes in the wall, as shown in Fig.1, paying particular attention to the minimum distances indicated.
Hang the applince on the wall and fasten it using the third screw at the bottom.
Portable appliances are not suitable for use in a bathroom.
The appliance must not be positioned directly underneath a fixed power point.
FUNCTIONING AND USE
This heater has ECC (electronic climate control) which automatically monitors and selects the ideal power
to maintain the chosen temperature.
FAN HEATER CONTROLS: The thermostat will adjust the set temperature .
OPERATION AND USE
By pressing the “ON/OFF” button (Fig. 3) one or more times (a beep will confirm each selection), the appliance will select the operating heating power, as follow:
Max (maximum power)
Med (medium power)

off
If “Max” maximum appliance operating power has been selected, adjust the thermostat dial (Fig.
4) to the desired comfort temperature, from (5°C) and max (35°C).
If the selected temperature is higher than the actual room temperature, the appliance will start automatically and rapidly heating the room until it reaches the selected temperature. The unit will automatically mantain the temperature at a constant level, by cycling between “max”, “med” and “min”,
as it approaches the selected comfort temperature.
If the room temperature exceeds the selected temperature level, the appliance will turn itself off.
The appliance will turn on automatically again when the room temperature falls below the selected temperature level.
If a power level below “Max” has been selected using the “ON/OFF” button, the appliance will
modulate between the selected level and the lower power levels.
FROST PROTECTION
Press the “ON/OFF” button to select the “Max” power level.
Set the thermostat dial to the “ ” position (Fig. 3).
When set in this way, the appliance will turn on automatically only if the room temperature falls
below 5°C, to prevent it from freezing at minimum energy consumption.
This function is not guaranteed in the event of black outs, even if lasting just a few seconds.
Models with a motorised oscillating base
Some models feature a motorised oscillating base to distribute the airflow over a larger area.
To turn the oscillation on press the footswitch at the front of the heater.
To stop the heater in a particular position, simply press the footswitch again.
The heater can also be tilted manually on its base to vary the airflow up and down.
Please note: This heater is fitted with a tip over switch, which turns the heater off should it be
accidentally knocked over. To restart the heater, simply place it upright again.

A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug
should be cut off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted, as below.
WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket
elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.
With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be re-fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp
Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse
cover is that as marked on the base of the plug.
B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the instructions provided below:
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the followin code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which si marked with the letter L or coloured red.
