Operation

When you have completed the installation, plug in and switch on the mains supply.

The mains neon indicator light will glow showing that power is available - see ‘A’ in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8.

When the radiator is not in use, switch off the power supply and pull the plug out from the socket.

Thermostat (see ‘B’ in Fig. 7 & 8)

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.

Timer Operation (see ‘C’ in Fig. 8)

(OFX075TI/100TI/150TI Models)

Switch the heater on by putting switch ‘D’ (see Fig. 8) to position ‘

’. The mains neon indicator ‘A’ (see Fig. 8) will glow showing

that power is available.

Setting the time of day

To set the time of day, rotate the timer dial clockwise (indicated by the arrow) until the correct time of day is opposite the reference mark

(see Fig. 9). The 24-hour clock is used ; e.g. time shown

for 4 pm is ‘16’ (16:00hrs).

Setting the ON and OFF times

To set the timer :

1. Using your finger tip or the tip of a pencil, push in as many

segments as necessary around the dial, according to the times you require heat – see Fig. 9. Each segment pushed in switches the heater ON for that part of the hour. All other segments will be OFF. For example, Fig. 10 shows the timer set to switch the heater ON between 7.00am and 9.00pm and between 4.00pm and 9.30pm.

2. Y ou can select as many ON periods as you like, within the 24hour day. The settings will repeat every day until changed.

3. To change ON and OFF times, simply pull out any ‘ON’ segments you wish to cancel and push in new ‘ON’ segments as required.

Please note that the appliance must be connected to the mains supply (neon indicator ‘A’ On) for the timer to continue running. If switched Off it will be neccessary to reset the time of day when next used.

IMPORT ANT NOTES

Remember to observe all safety warnings when operating the heater on auto setting unattended or attended .

If the mains supply to the heater is interrupted, the timer clock will stop until power is restored ; reset the time of day to ensure correct ON and OFF times.
