Operating the Heater - ‘Control Mode’

With the product plugged in, press the ‘‘ ’ button. This will illuminate the
neon and also light up the LCD display. This indicates that the product is in
control mode, the desired room temperature can then be set.

Setting the ‘Desired’ Room Temperature

The temperature is set using the temperature increase ‘ ’ and temperature
decrease ‘ ’ keys - see Fig. 2. The room temperature can be set in the
range between 5°C to 30°C. The back light of the LCD will change colour
depending on the desired room temperature. (Blue screen 5 to 16, 17 to 19
green, 20 to 22 white, 23- 30 red). Please note the temperature setting is for
desired room temperature (not the actual room temperature).

‘Intelligent’ Eco Mode

This is the appliance default setting, the appliance will automatically start up
in this setting once power is applied and the standby key is pressed. The
LCD display will indicate the desired room temperature and the appliance
will automatically regulate the room temperature accordingly. In this mode
the appliance operates at full power, however the output of the appliance is
automatically reduced and regulated as the room temperature approaches

THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

the desired level. This mode optimises energy use by calculating the most

efcient and effective way to achieve the desired temperature setting. The

desired room temperature can be adjusted at any time during operation by
pressing the appropriate key.

Standby Mode

With the heater ON if the ‘ ’ button is pressed, the heater will go into standby
mode, the heater switches off, the display goes blank and the neon will switch

The colour of the display backlight will vary depending on the desired
temperature set (see notes above under ‘Setting the desired room
temperature’). The backlight will switch off a short period after the last key
press. Any additional key presses will re-illuminate the screen.

Indicator Neon

The control contains an indicator neon. This neon comes on to indicate when
the product is in ‘control mode’. This neon does not indicate if the heat is on,
if the room temperature is at the desired temperature then the heat will be
off but the control is still operating, the neon will remain on.

When the delayed start function is activated the neon will blink intermittently
to indicate the product is in delayed start mode. Once the delayed start period
has elapsed the neon will switch on to indicate the product is in control mode.

Frost Protection Mode

The appliance has a frost protection mode. This setting is useful in areas such
as garages to assist in the prevention of frost damage. If the thermostat is set
to its minimum setting ‘5°C’, the heater will cycle ON and OFF to maintain a
temperature of approximately 5°C and help protect against frost conditions.

buttons are simultaneously pressed. When one or both buttons are released
it shall be assumed that the Run Back time has been selected. Both buttons
must be released before any other button operations are allowed. The Run
Back function shall not be maintained if mains power is removed and reapplied.

The Runback function shall use the maximum power as dened using the ‘

’ button sequence and the Set Point active prior to entering Run Back mode.
The temperature Set Point may be changed by pressing the ‘ ’ or ‘ ’ buttons

while in Run Back Mode. The display shall ash On and Off every 5 seconds

showing the hours remaining in Runback mode, until the Runback time has
expired, then the display shall be turned off (appliance enters Standby Mode).
Please note only hours will be displayed not part of hours i.e. minutes

Delayed Start Mode

When the appliance is in Control mode and the ‘ ’ and ‘ ’ buttons are
simultaneously pressed for more than 2 seconds the appliance shall enter a

‘Delayed Start’ conguration menu.

The ‘Delayed Start’ mode will allow the appliance to turn ON after a pre-set
time. After this time has expired the appliance will turn ON and control about
the set point. The appliance shall stay ON until the mains power is toggled
or the ‘ ’ button is pressed to place the unit in Standby.

Keeping the buttons pressed the display will indicate the number of hours
the Start Timer shall delay the appliance entering operation, from 1 through
to 12. After 12 the timer shall roll over to 1 and then increment through to
12 again. The time shall increment for every 2 seconds that the buttons are
simultaneously pressed. When one or both buttons are released it shall be
assumed that the Delayed Start time has been selected. Both buttons must
be released before any other button operations are allowed.

shall blink intermittently once every 10 seconds.

The Delayed Start time shall be cleared to zero when the ‘ ’ button is pressed,
the Delayed Start timer expires or if mains power is removed. The LCD display
will display the Hours remaining in Delayed Start mode (No Backlight) and
displays hours only increments (not minutes). Once the delayed start time
has expired the appliance enters control mode, and the display will now
show the Set Point.

The Delayed Start function shall not be maintained if mains power is removed
and reapplied. The Delayed Start function shall use the maximum power
as dened using the ‘ ’ button sequence and the Set Point active prior to
entering Delayed Start mode.

Safety in use

This appliance incorporates a number of safety devices. In addition to the

‘Important Safety Advice’ section your attention is drawn to the following;

Tilt Switch

The tilt switch will prevent the heater from working if it is accidentally tipped
over on its side. If the radiator is tipped over while it is hot, disconnect the
power and allow it to cool, then stand the radiator back upright. Reconnect
the power - normal operation should be resumed.

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.

Storage

If the heater is not required for long periods, for example during the summer,
it should be stored in a dry place and preferably covered to prevent the
accumulation of dirt and dust. The supply cord should be neatly coiled around

the cable wrap and the plug stored in the cable wrap moulding.

Cleaning

WARNING - ALWAYS DISCONNECT 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 in to the heater.
