As with all portable heating appliances - This product is only suitable for well insulated spaces or occasional use

Fig. 1

Using the heater

WARNING: DO NOT USE THE HEATER UNTIL THE FEET ARE
FITTED CORRECTLY.

The product is intended for occasional use as a portable unit. Please ensure

the feet are securely tted before the product is used. Once the feet have

been installed simply plug in and switch on at the wall socket.

Please note – the element has been coated with a protective lm which
will burn off during the rst 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 rst time.

Positioning the heater

Always ensure that the heater is stood on a rm, 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 re hazard.

Product Assembly

WARNING: THE HEATER SHOULD NEVER BE USED WITHOUT THE
FEET SECURELY FITTED.

Lay the heater on its back so the underneath of the product is accessible.

Locate and remove the foot xing screw - see Fig. 2(a). Clip the foot in
place and secure using the foot xing screw - see Fig. 2(b).

Controls

Indicator Neon (selected models)

The indicator neon comes on when the appliance is connected to mains

supply.

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, Gradually turn the thermostat knob
clockwise until the desired temperature is reached. Allow some time between
increments for the room temperature to stabilise.
Alternatively to heat a cold room quickly, turn the thermostat knob to the
Max position. When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn
the thermostat knob anti-clockwise until the thermostat clicks off. The heater
will then automatically maintain this room 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.

Switches (selected models)

Selected models are supplied with selector switches . There are two switch
types, one is an on/off switch and the other is a heat selection switch.
Depending on model either one or both switch may be included. The switch
operation is as follows.
On/Off: O - Off
I - On

Heat selection I - Low heat
II - High heat

Mechanical Timer (selected models)

Note: The timer clock will only operate when the product is connected to
the mains supply

Operation modes

There are two operating modes on the timer, Manual operation and Auto
operation. The operation mode is set using the slide switch on the timer

- see g4.

Manual operation (Position - I)
This setting allows power to the product uninterrupted by the timer,
however other product controls will continue to function as normal.

Auto operation (Position - )
This setting allows the heater to be controlled by the timer. The
product will be switched on and off depending on the pre-set timer
program.

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. 4. The 24-hour clock is used ; e.g. 4 pm is ‘16’ (16:00hrs).

Setting the ‘Auto’ ON and OFF times

To set the timer :

1. Using your nger 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. 5. Each segment pushed in switches
the heater OFF for that part of the hour. All other segments will be
ON. For example, Fig. 5 shows the timer set to switch the heater
OFF between 11pm and 1.45am.

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

Ensure the thermostat and/or the heat selector are set for the desired
heat output.
Check that the clock shows the correct time of day. Set the mode slide
switch to , the heater will switch ON and OFF according to the timer
settings - see Fig. 5.

Note

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. 5

Turbo fan(selected models)

The turbo fan is used to boost

the airow around the room. This

circulates the heat better and
results in a reduced heat up time
and a more even heat distribution.
The turbo fan is controlled by the
neon switch on the front of the
product.
The turbo can be turned on
independently of the heat,
however the fan will switch on
and off under the control of the
thermostat.

Note: on selected models in warm weather the fan can be used to circulate
cool air. Once the heat selection switches are in the off position and the
thermostat is set to ‘Max’ the fan will continue to function to circulate cool air.

Safety – overheat protection

For your safety, this appliance is tted 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 sufciently, 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
– 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 airow 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.

Recycling

For electrical products sold within the European Community.
At the end of the electrical products useful life it should not be

disposed of with household waste.

Before commencing cleaning, switch off 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 nish.
