Withdraw the brackets from the slot (C).

(A) (B) (C)

Fig. 1

Select a suitable position on a wall, near to a mains power socket,
making sure that there is at least 230 mm below the heater and at least
450 mm above the heater of unobstructed space. See also ‘Positioning
the heater’.
Fix the two top retaining brackets to the wall, using suitable fixings, for
2kw models at 358 mm centres and 3kw models at 478 mm centres –
see Fig 2.

Fig. 2

Locate the heater on the top brackets and allow it to hang in place.
Fit the bottom bracket into the slot in the heater and then fix it to the wall.

THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

Electrical connection

RNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

This heater must be used on an AC ~ supply only and the voltage
on the heater must correspond to the supply voltage. If fitting a 1
plug, a 13 amp fuse approved by ASTA to BS 1362 must be used. If an

ype of type of plug is used, a 15 amp fuse must be fitted in t

Positioning the heater

Always ensure that the heater is stood on a firm, 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 fire hazard.
We recommend that the heater should be wall-mounted in rooms where
children may be left unattended.
See also ‘Important Safety Advice’.

Free standing use (all models except DXW200S)

NEVER USE THE HEATER FREE STANDING WITHOUT THE FEET
FITTED.

Lay the heater on its back, and locate
the foot fixing screw (see a. in Fig. 3).
Remove the screw using an
X–head screwdriver, then align foot
over slots and holes in base (see ‘b’
in Fig. 3) and push into slots until the
foot clips into place.

Finally take the foot fixing screw, insert
and tighten using a screwdriver to
secure the foot.

Fig. 3

NOTE – The wall mounting brackets indicated in Fig. 3 can be left secured
to the base if they are not required.

Using the heater

Switch on at the wall socket.

On models with a neon, the red POWER ON neon will light when the
heater is connected to the power supply.

The timer clock will operate all the time that the heater is connected to the
mains supply.
Set the timer control switch as required
for OFF, Manual or Automatic
operation – see ‘Timer Operation’.

On models DX200S , DXW200S &
DX300S the heat selector switch
positions are as follows :
I - Low heat output

II - High heat output

On model DX300S there is also an

Fig. 4

On – Off switch - operation as follows :

(Model DX200T , DX300T

O - Off & DX300TF control shown)
I - On

The heat output is controlled by the thermostat - see ‘Thermostat’

Please note – the element has been coated with a protective film which
will burn off during the first few minutes of use and may cause a small
amount of fuming. This is quite normal – the fumes are non-toxic and will
quickly disappear. We recommend that you open a window to ventilate the
room when using the heater for the first time.

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.

Timer Operation

Set the I - ¡ - 0 slide switch on the timer
Fig. 5 to :

Position O – for Heating Off
Position I – for Manual operation

– This setting allows power to the heater
uninterrupted by the timer settings. The
heat selector switch will control the
output (see ‘Using the heater’).

Position ¡ - for ‘Auto’ operation

DO NOT disconnect this heater from the
mains supply unless it is being taken out

Fig. 5 of use (e.g. in summer or for storage),

otherwise the timer clock will stop.

Setting the time of day

To set the time of day, rotate the timer
dial clockwise (indicated by the arrow)
until the correct time of day is opposite
the reference mark ► (see Fig. 5). The
24-hour clock is used ; e.g. time shown
for 4 pm is ‘16’ (16:00hrs).

Fig. 6

Setting the auto ON and OFF times

To set the timer :

1. Using your finger tip or the tip of a

pencil, push in as many segments as
necessary around the dial, according to
the times you don’t require heat – see
Fig. 7. Each segment pushed in switches
the heater OFF for that part of the hour.
All other segments will be ON. For
example, Fig. 9 shows the timer set to
switch the heater ON between 7 am and

Fig. 7 9 am and between 4 pm and 9.30 pm .

2. You can select as many ON periods

as you like, within the 24-hour day. The

settings will repeat every day until
changed.

3. To change ON and OFF times,
simply push in any ‘ON’ segments you
wish to cancel and pull out new ON
segments as required.

Switching to ‘Auto’

Fig. 8 Set the heat selector and thermostat for

the heat output required.
Check that the clock shows the correct

time of day. Set the I -

¡ - 0 slide switch

to position marked

¡ (see Fig. 8) -

the convector will switch ON and OFF
according to the timer settings (see

Fig 9).

IMPORTANT NOTES

Remember to observe all safety
warnings when operating the heater on
auto setting unattended or attended . . If
the mains supply to the heater is
interrupted, the timer clock will stop until
power is restored ; reset the time of day

Fig. 9

to ensure correct ON and OFF times.

Turbo Fan model (DX 300TF

)

The turbo fan is used to boost the airflow around the room. The fan will
circulate the heat around the room to reach the desired temperature more
quickly.

On this model once power is supplied to the heater & the timer is in an on
position the heater can be set to run on 2kW output by setting the turbo
switch in its off position ( neon off ). For 3kW output you turn the turbo
switch to it’s on position (neon on) to introduce an additional 1kw of heat
with fan boost which added to the 2kW setting will give a total output of
3kW with fan boost. ( Note: on this model turbo boost is only possible on
3kW operation).

Note: there is no cold blow operation on this model and all heat settings
operate under the control of the thermostat.

European Community.
At the end of the electrical products useful life
it should not be disposed of with household
waste. Please recycle where facilities exist.

recycling advice in your country.

Safety – overheat protection

For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a thermal cut-out. In the event
that the product overheats, the cut-out switches the heater off
automatically.
To bring the heater back into operation, remove the cause of the
overheating, then unplug or turn off the electrical supply to the heater for a
few minutes.
When the heater has cooled sufficiently, re-connect and switch on the
heater.

Important Notes

Although this heater is manufactured to comply with the relevant safety
standards, certain types of carpets could become discoloured by the
temperatures under a portable heater. If you are concerned about this, we
recommend that you contact the carpet manufacturer for guidance.
Alternatively, either stand the heater on a suitable base to shield the
carpet or wall-mount it – call our Helpline for further advice.

You may notice some parts of the element appearing to be hotter from
time to time because of the variable airflow through the heater. This does
not cause a safety hazard.

The heat outlet grille may become discoloured with use – this is caused by
airborne pollution and is not a fault.

Cleaning and User Maintenance

WARNING – ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM THE POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE CLEANING THE HEATER.

Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaning powder or polish of any kind on
the body of the heater.

Allow the heater to cool, then wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust and a
damp cloth (not wet) to clean off stains. Be careful not to allow moisture
into the heater.
