Electrical connection
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
The use of an extension lead or multi-plug adaptor is not advised when
connecting this product to the mains. Connection through these devices
could lead to a risk of overloading, overheating and even re at the extension
lead or adaptor due to inadequate connection quality.
This heater must be used on an AC (~) supply only and the voltage marked
on the heater must correspond to the supply voltage. This heater is tted
with a rewireable plug incorporating a 13 amp fuse. In the event of replacing
the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp fuse approved by ASTA to BS 1362
must be used. If any other type of plug is used, a 15 amp fuse must be
tted in the plug, the adaptor, or at the distribution board.
IMPORTANT : If the plug is not suitable for your socket, the 13 amp plug
should be removed. Before wiring the appropriate plug, please note that
the wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
code : GREEN AND YELLOW: EARTH
BLUE : NEUTRAL
BROWN : LIVE
Connect the GREEN AND YELLOW wire to the terminal marked ‘E’ or

Using the heater
Plug in and switch on at the wall socket. The mains neon indicator will glow
showing that power is available.
On models with a timer clock, the clock will operate all the time that the
heater is connected to the mains supply, regardless of the setting of the heat
selector switch. Set the timer control switch as required for OFF, Manual
or Automatic operation – see ‘Timer Operations’.
The heat output is controlled by the
thermostat - see ‘Thermostat’.
Controls
Thermostat
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.
On/Off Switch - see Fig. 4a
On the non-timer models the switch
operates as follows:
O - The heater is Off
I - The heater operates with heat output as per the heat selection switch.
Note : The above description of the On/Off switch operation is with the turbo
neon switch in the off position – see also the ‘Turbo Fan model...’ section.
