these devices could lead to risk of overloading, overheating
and even fire at the extension lead or adaptor due to
inadequate connection quality.
This heater must be used on an AC (~) supply only and
the voltage marked on the heater must correspond to the
supply voltage. This heater is fitted with a rewirable plug
incorporating a 10/13 amp fuse. In the event of replacing
the fuse in the plug supplied, an equivalent 10/13 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.
IMPORTANT: If the plug is not suitable for your socket, the 13
amp plug should be removed. Before wiring the appropriate
plug, please note that the wires in this mains lead are coloured
in accordance with the following code:

General

The heater is designed for operation on an AC electricity
supply, and is suitable for use in domestic dwellings and
similar indoor locations.

The heater is supplied with feet and wall brackets to
provide the customer with the flexibility to choose between
portable or installed use. A rotary selector switch provides
the ability to select between Lo and High heat output,
each model contains a seven day electronic timer with an
integrated room sensing thermostat. It is supplied with a
cord and plug and is ready for use once the feet have been
fitted or the heater is mounted correctly.

Assembly and Positioning

The ML Convector can be used as a portable heater or can
be installed.
For portable use, always ensure that the heater is stood
on a firm, level base near to, but not directly underneath a
suitable mains supply socket.
Ensure that curtains and furniture are not positioned close
to the chosen position.
We recommend that the heater should be wall-mounted
in rooms where children may be left unattended, see
‘Important Safety Advice’.
If young children, the aged or infirm are likely to be left
in the vicinity of the heater, we advise that the adequate

Operation

IMPORTANT - OBJECTS OR CLOTHING MUST NOT BE
PLACED ON THIS HEATER.

Before using the heater ensure that all warnings and
instructions have been carefully read.
To activate the heater, after installation or assembly, simply
plug it in.
Note: The element has been coated with a protective film
which will burn off during the first few minutes of use, this
may cause a small amount of fuming. This is quite normal –
the fumes are non-toxic and will quickly disappear.

Example:
In the timer menu, a set room temperature of 22°C is
specified. The current room temperature is 17° C. The
heating device switches on early so that the specified
room temperature of 22° C is reached by 07:00.

The Product will automatically calculate the advance time

Safety Features

This appliance incorporates a number of safety devices.
In addition to the ‘Important Safety Advice’ section your
attention is drawn to the following:

SAFETY OVERHEAT PROTECTION

The heater is fitted with a thermal cutout which will switch
off the heater should it overheat for any reason. If the
thermal cutout operates, unplug the unit immediately. Allow
the heater to cool down completely and remove the cause
of the over heating.

TILT SWITCH

The product is fitted with a safety tilt switch which will
prevent the heater from working if the heater is accidentally
tipped over in any direction.

If the heater is tipped over while it is hot, disconnect the
power and allow it to cool, then stand the heater back
upright. Reconnect the power - normal operation should
be resumed.
Note: The tilt switch mechanism makes a muted rattling
noise when the product is moved or tilted, this is not a fault,
this noise is normal.

Additional

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, 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.

TURBO FAN (SELECTED MODELS)

The turbo fan is used to boost the airflow around the room.
This circulates the heat better and results in a reduced heat
up time and a more even heat distribution.
The turbo fan is controlled by the Control knob.

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.
If left unplugged for a long duration, resetting the time and
the programmed settings will be necessary.

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.
