WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
This heater must be used on an ~ supply only and the voltage marked on the heater must correspond to the supply voltage. This heater is fitted with a rewireable plug incorporating a 13 amp fuse. In the event of replacing the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp fuse approved by ASTA 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.

Lay the heater on its back, and locate the foot fixing screw (see ‘a’ in Fig. 2). Remove the screw using an X–head screwdriver, then align foot over slots and holes in base and slide home. Finally take the foot fixing screw, insert and tighten using a screwdriver to secure the foot.
Using the heater
Plug in and switch on at the wall socket. On standard models with a neon, the red POWER ON neon will
light when the heater is connected to the power supply. On timer models the timer clock will operate all the time that the
heater is connected to the mains supply. On model DXLAT150 the heat selector switch positions are as
follows:
O - Off I - Low Heat (750W) II - High Heat (1500W)
On model DXLAT75 there is an On /Off switch – operation as follows:
O - Off I - On (750W)
Model DXLAT150Ti is controlled by a Digital Timer – see ‘Digital Timer Operation’
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 - see Fig. 3
The thermostat controls the heat output according to the room temperature.
Fig. 3
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.

Safety – overheat protection
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a thermal cut-out. In the event that the product overheats for some reason, the cut-out prevents excessive temperatures on the product by cutting the power to the heater. Once the heater has cooled down, it will reset automatically, it will continue to cycle on and of f automatically until the reason for overheating has been removed.
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 – 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.
