Electrical connection

This heater must be used on an A.C. ~ supply only and the
voltage marked on the heater must correspond to the supply

voltage. This heater is tted with a plug incorporating a 13

amp fuse. When replacing the fuse, a 13 amp fuse approved
by ASTA to BS 1362 must be used.
If the plug is not suitable for the socket outlets in your home,

the plug must be cut off and an appropriate one tted. A

plug cut off from a mains lead will give a shock hazard if
inserted into a 13 amp socket elsewhere in the house. To
avoid this, it should be disposed of immediately.
NOTE: The fuse cover of a non-rewirable plug must be

retted when changing the fuse. Should the cover become

lost, the plug must not be used until the correct replacement
fuse cover is obtained from your supplier or by contacting
our customer helpline.

IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:

BLUE: NEUTRAL
BROWN: LIVE
GREEN & YELLOW: EARTH

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings in your plug, proceed
as follows:
Connect the BROWN wire to the terminal marked ‘L’ or
coloured RED. Connect the BLUE wire to the terminal
marked ‘N’ or coloured BLACK. Note: ‘L’ or ‘N’ must not
be connected to the EARTH terminal marked ‘E’ or ‘ ’ or
coloured GREEN or GREEN AND YELLOW.
If in doubt, consult your electrician.

initially. When the room is warm enough, reduce the setting slowly
until the heater just clicks off.
The heater will now cycle on and off to maintain your selected room
temperature. An audible click may be heard when the thermostat
operates - this is normal.

Note: If the heater does not come on when the thermostat is at a
low setting, this is normally because the room is warmer than the
thermostat setting and is not a fault.

* When the heat control is set to ‘ ’ for cool blow, set the
thermostat control to maximum.

Position ‘ ’ will turn the heater on and off to maintain a temperature
of approximately 5°C.

Safety - overheat protection

For your safety this appliance is tted 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 off automatically until
the reason for overheating is removed.

Fuselink

A thermal fuse link is provided as an added safety feature. If the
fuse link operates and opens circuit it is the result of abnormal
overheating within the appliance and servicing of the appliance by
a competent service engineer will be required in order to ensure
the future safe operation of the heater. Customer services should
be contacted in the event of fault or failure.

Cleaning

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

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

Ensure that dust or uff does not accumulate inside the heater

as this could lead to overheating of the element. Use a vacuum

cleaner to remove any uff which does accumulate.
