OPERATION

Before use, remove the foam packing from the grilles.

Plug the mains lead into a 13 Amp mains socket that is
protected by a 30 mA Residual Current Device (RCD). Never
use equipment outdoors that is connected to a socket that is
not protected by an RCD.

If connecting via an extension lead, make sure that the lead
is rated at 13 Amps, and that it is fully unwound.

If the socket or extension lead is outdoors then a suitably
waterproof connector must be used.

Switch the unit on at the mains socket.
The three push-button switches (located inside the

removable panel) labelled H1, H2 and H3 control the three
heating elements. Press to turn on, press again to turn off.

Page 7

The circular indicator beneath the heating element
illuminates if the element is switched on - this makes it
possible to tell if an element is switched ON before it has
reached operating temperature, or if it is switched OFF and
has yet to cool down.

The push-button labelled L controls the lamp at the top of the
appliance. Press to turn ON: press again to turn OFF.

Do not touch the fireguards when the heater is in operation,
because they will be hot and may cause burns.

Unplug the heater from the mains when not in use.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

The switches on the remote control handset replicate the H1, H2,
H3 and L switches on the control panel. There are three remote
control receiver sensors, so that the remote control handset can be
used from any angle.
