Electrical connection
This heater must be used on an A.C.~ supply only and the

by ASTA to BS 1362 must be used.
If the plug is not suitable for the socket outlets in your home,
the plug must be cut off and an appropriate one tted. A
plug cut off from a mains lead will give a shock hazard if
inserted into a 13 amp socket elsewhere in the house. To
avoid this, it should be disposed of immediately.
NOTE: The fuse cover of a non-rewirable plug must be
retted when changing the fuse. Should the cover become
lost, the plug must not be used until the correct replacement
fuse cover is obtained from your supplier or by contacting
our customer helpline.

coloured RED. Connect the BLUE wire to the terminal
marked ‘N’ or coloured BLACK. Note: ‘L’ or ‘N’ must not
be connected to the EARTH terminal marked ‘E’ or ‘ ’ or

Using the Heater
Main Elements - See Fig 1.
1. Power indicator light
2. Standby thermostat
3. Air outlet grille
4. USB charge port
5. Safety tilt switch
Standby Thermostat - see Fig. 2
The heat output is controlled by the
thermostat, according to the local
area temperature.
Turn the thermostat knob fully
clockwise to maximum setting
initially. When the area is warm
enough, reduce the setting slowly
until the heater just clicks off.
The heater will now cycle on and off to maintain your local
area temperature. An audible click may be heard when the
thermostat operates - this is normal.
Note: If the heater does not come on when the thermostat
is at a low setting, this is normally because the local area
is warmer than the thermostat setting and is not a fault.
Position ‘ ’ will put the heater into standby mode (unless
the temperature is approximately 5°C). This is a special
setting to enable the product to be used as a charger
throughout the year.

In the event that the product overheats, the cut-out switches
the heater off automatically. To bring the heater back into

the electrical supply to the heater for a few minutes.
When the heater has cooled sufciently reconnect and
switch on the heater.
If the cut-out operates repeatedly, contact your supplier.

not operate.
