Controls
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
This heater must be used on an A.C. ~ supply only and the voltage marked on the heater must correspond to the supply voltage.
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.
Using the heater
WARNING: DO NOT USE THE HEATER UNTIL THE FEET ARE FITTED CORRECTLY.
The product can be used as an installed or portable unit. Once the desired application has been decided upon and the requirements below have been met the product is ready to be used. 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 non­toxic 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.
WARNING: THE HEATER SHOULD NEVER BE USED AS A PORTABLE APPLIANCE WITHOUT THE FEET SECURELY FITTED.

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)
Lay the heater on its back, 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).
