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

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.

USED AS A PORTABLE APPLIANCE WITHOUT
THE FEET SECURELY FITTED.
NOTE: When using the appliance or setting
appliance controls always ensure that the

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).
