the voltage marked on the heater must correspond to the
supply voltage. If fitting a 13 amp plug, a 13 amp fuse
approved by AST A to BS 1362 must be used. If any other
type of plug is used, a 15 amp fuse must be fitted in the
plug, the adaptor, or at the distribution board.

IMPORT ANT - The wires in the 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 by the earth symbol , or coloured
GREEN or GREEN AND YELLOW.
Connect the BROWN wire to the terminal marked ‘L’ or

coloured RED.
Connect the BLUE wire to the terminal marked ‘N’ or

coloured BLACK.
This appliance must only be used on A.C. mains supply

of 230-240 Volts~.

Fitting the castors

Remove the carton containing the castor assemblies from
the packing.

Fit the castors to the stub axles by applying hand
pressure until each castor clicks into position - see ‘a’
Fig 1. Note that the castors are designed to be a tight fit
on the axles but will rotate in use.

The castors must be fitted between the outer fins (as
shown on ‘b’ and ‘c’ in Fig. 1).

IMPORTANT – ENSURE THAT THE CASTORS ARE
FITTED TO THE BASE OF THE RADIA TOR SO THA T ,
WHEN IN USE, THE CONTROLS ARE AT THE TOP
AND THE CABLE STORAGE A T THE BOTTOM OF THE
CONTROL P ANEL – see Fig. 2.

Turn the radiator upside down on a carpet or other soft
surface to avoid damage

Fig. 1

(a)

(b)

(c)

Lift the radiator clear of the floor , then turn it back upright
and stand it on its castors as shown in Fig. 2 ‘D’. It is now
ready for use.

Positioning the radiator

Always ensure that the radiator is stood on a firm, level
base near to, but not directly beneath, a suitable fixed
socket outlet.

Unwind the mains lead fully from the cable store at the
base of the control panel before plugging in the radiator .
DO NOT pull the radiator along by the mains lead.

Ensure that curtains and furniture are not closer than 1
metre (3’) from the chosen position, as this would create
a potential fire hazard.

Ensure that there is at least 300mm (1’) above the radiator
of unobstructed space.

Before switching on

Ensure that all packing items are removed (read any
warning labels carefully) and that all warnings and
instructions have been read carefully and followed.

Operation

When you are certain that you have completed the above,
plug in and switch on at the wall socket. The neon will
glow all the time that the radiator is connected to the
mains supply .
Please Note – We recommend that you open a window
to ventilate the room when using the heater for the first
time.

Heat control (see Fig. 3)
The heat switch provides a choice of heat outputs :

On both models, the radiator is OFF when the heat switch
is set to position ‘O’

Warning : The radiator is heavy – ensure that it is supported
to prevent it from toppling. Ask a second person to help
with this if necessary . Locate the wire clamps and remove
the plastic straps and winged nuts (see Fig. 2 ‘C’).

Insert the non-threaded end of the wire clamp ‘A’ into one
of the two holes in the castor plate ‘B’ as shown in Fig. 2,
at the same time tilting the opposite end of the plate
slightly. Lower the castor plate and insert the threaded
end of the clamp through the fins and over the boss and
into the other hole in the castor plate. Place the winged
nut ‘C’ on the thread and tighten it securely.
