the heater must correspond to the supply voltage. This heater
wirable plug incorporating a 13 amp fuse. In the event of
fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp fuse approved by ASTA to B
must be used. If any other type of plug is used, a 15 amp fuse must be

(model 3072 shown)
Positioning the heater
Always ensure that the heater is stood on a firm, level base near to, but
not directly beneath, a suitable mains supply socket.
Ensure that curtains and furniture are not positioned close to the chosen
position, as this would create a potential fire hazard.
We recommend that the heater should be wall-mounted in rooms where
children may be left unattended.
See also ‘Important Safety Advice’.
Free standing use
NEVER USE THE HEATER FREE STANDING WITHOUT THE FEET
FITTED.
Lay the heater on its back,
and locate the foot fixing
screw (see a. in Fig. 3).
Remove the screw using
an X–head screwdriver,
then align foot over slots
and holes in base (see ‘b’
in Fig. 3) and push into
slots until the foot clips
into place.
Finally take the foot fixing
screw, insert and tighten
using a screwdriver to
secure the foot.
Fig. 3
NOTE – The wall mounting brackets indicated in Fig. 3 can be left secured
to the base if they are not required.
Using the heater
Plug in and switch on at the wall socket.
On standard models with a neon, the red POWER ON neon will light when
the heater is connected to the power supply.
The timer clock will operate all the time that the heater is connected to the
mains supply.
Set the timer control switch as required for
OFF, Manual or Automatic operation –
see ‘Timer Operation’.
On models 3073 & 3078
the heat selector switch positions are
as follows :
I - Low heat output
II - High heat output
On model 3078 there is also an
On / Off switch - operation as follows :
O - Off
I - On
On model 3077 there are two neon On/Off heat selector switches allowing
selection of half heat ( one switch on ) or full heat ( both switches on ).
The heat output is controlled by the thermostat - see ‘Thermostat’
Please note – the element has been coated with a protective film which
will burn off during the first few minutes of use and may cause a small
amount of fuming. This is quite normal – the fumes are non-toxic and will
quickly disappear. We recommend that you open a window to ventilate the
room when using the heater for the first time.
Controls
Thermostat (all models)
The thermostat controls the heat output according to the room
temperature.
This ensures that the heater will not produce heat unnecessarily when the
room is warm.
To set the temperature you require, turn the thermostat knob clockwise
until the desired temperature is reached. Alternatively to heat a cold room
quickly, turn the thermostat knob up fully. When the room has reached the
desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise until the
thermostat just clicks off.
The heater will now automatically operate at this temperature.
The thermostat also has a frost protection setting marked ‘∗’. This setting
is useful in areas such as garages to prevent frost damage. If the
thermostat is set to its minimum setting ‘∗’, the heater will cycle ON and
OFF to maintain a temperature of approximately 5°C to help protect
against frosty conditions.
Timer Operation
Set the I - ¡ - 0 slide switch on the timer
(Fig. 5) to :
Position O - Heating Off
Position I - Manual operation
– This setting allows power to the heater
uninterrupted by the timer settings. The
heat selector switch will control the
output (see ‘Using the heater’).
Position ¡ - ‘Auto’ operation
DO NOT disconnect this heater from the
mains supply unless it is being taken out
Fig. 5 of use (e.g. in summer or for storage),
otherwise the timer clock will stop.
Setting the time of day
To set the time of day, rotate the timer
dial clockwise (indicated by the arrow)
until the correct time of day is opposite
the reference mark ► (see Fig. 5). The
24-hour clock is used ; e.g. time shown
for 4 pm is ‘16’ (16:00hrs).
Setting the ‘Auto’ ON and OFF times
Fig. 6 To set the timer :
1. Using your finger tip or the tip of a
pencil, push in as many segments as
necessary around the dial, according to
the times you don’t require heat – see
Fig. 7. Each segment pushed in switches
the heater OFF for that part of the hour.
All other segments will be ON. For
example, Fig. 9 shows the timer set to
switch the heater ON between 7 am and
9 am and between 4 pm and 9.30 pm .
Fig. 7
2. You can select as many ON periods
as you like, within the 24-hour day. The
settings will repeat every day until
changed.
3. To change ON and OFF times,
simply push in any ‘ON’ segments you
wish to cancel and pull out new ‘ON’
segments as required.
Switching to auto
Set the heat selector and thermostat for
the heat output required.
Fig. 8 Check that the clock shows the correct
time of day. Set the I -
¡ - 0 slide switch
to
¡ (see Fig. 8) - the convector will
switch ON and OFF according to the
timer settings (see Fig 9).
IMPORTANT NOTES
Remember to observe all safety
warnings when operating the heater on
auto setting unattended or attended .
If the mains supply to the heater is
interrupted, the timer clock will stop until
power is restored ; reset the time of day
to ensure correct ON and OFF times.
Fig. 9
Turbo Fan model 3077
The turbo fan is used to boost
the airflow around the room.
To circulate the heat around
the room to reach the desired
temperature more quickly, set
the neon heat selector switches
to ON, and the Turbo switch
to ON.
The fan and the neon switch
will cycle on and off under
the control of the thermostat
– see ‘Thermostat’.
In warm weather, the fan can
be used to circulate cool air.
Set the two neon switches to OFF,
Fig. 10 Turbo Model
and the turbo switch to ‘ON’, then
turn the thermostat knob fully clockwise to maximum setting
Safety – overheat protection
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a thermal cut-out. In the event
that the product overheats, the cut-out switches the heater off
automatically.
To bring the heater back into operation, remove the cause of the
overheating, then unplug or turn off the electrical supply to the heater for a
few minutes.
When the heater has cooled sufficiently, re-connect and switch on the
heater.
Important Notes
Although this heater is manufactured to comply with the relevant safety
standards, certain types of carpets could become discoloured by the
temperatures under a portable heater. If you are concerned about this, we
recommend that you contact the carpet manufacturer for guidance.
Alternatively, either stand the heater on a suitable base to shield the
carpet or wall-mount it – call our Helpline for further advice.
You may notice some parts of the element appearing to be hotter from
time to time because of the variable airflow through the heater. This does
not cause a safety hazard.
The heat outlet grille may become discoloured with use – this is caused by
airborne pollution and is not a fault.
Cleaning and User Maintenance
WARNING – ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE CLEANING THE HEATER.
Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaning powder or polish of any kind on
the body of the heater.
Allow the heater to cool, then wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust and a
damp cloth (not wet) to clean off stains. Be careful not to allow moisture
into the heater.
