is available - see ‘A’ in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.
When the radiator is not in use, switch off the power supply
and pull the plug out from the socket.
Controls
Thermostat (see ‘B’ in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4)
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.
Mechanical Timer (TI models only)
Note: The timer clock will only operate when the product is
connected to the mains supply
Operation modes
There are two operating modes on the timer, Manual
operation and Auto operation. The operation mode is set
using the slide switch on the timer - see Fig 5.
Manual operation (Position - I )
This setting allows power to the product uninterrupted by

To set the timer :
1. Using your nger 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. 6. Each segment

All other segments will be ON. For example, Fig. 6 shows
the timer set to switch the heater OFF between 11pm and
1.45am.
2. You can select as many ON periods as you like, within the
