HOW TO OPERATE:

1. Remove your heater from its carton and
associated protective wrapping, and unwind
the cord to its full length and remove any
protective cardboard or foam that may
have been used to minimise transportation
damage. Place the heater on a firm, level
surface in a stable upright position. Visually
inspect the air inlet and outlets to ensure no
foreign material is blocking these areas. The
heater must always be operated with the
rear air filter in position.

2. Plug the cord into a 230-240V electrical
outlet. Be sure the plug fits tightly as a loose
fit will cause overheating and damage the
plug. To avoid an electrical circuit overload,
it is recommended that no other appliances
are plugged into the same circuit with your
heater when you switch the unit on.

3. When the heater is initially plugged in and
the power switch is turned on at the rear of
the unit there will be a ‘beep’ and the power
indicator will light up. This indicates that the
unit is powered. The indicator will remain lit
until the power switch on the rear of the unit
is switched off.

4. Turn the heater on by pressing the Setting
button.

5. Upon turning the heater on, the unit will
be in the LOW heat mode (1100 watts),
‘LO’ and the current room temperature will
appear on the LED display.

6. Pressing the Setting button again at this stage
will set the heater into the HIGH heat mode
(1800 watts), ‘HI’ and the current room
temperature will appear on the LED display.

7. Pressing the Setting button again will set the
heater into the AUTO mode (1800 watts).
The LED will display the default temperature
of 25ºC and will flash. This flash indicates
you can set the desired temperature via the
thermostat knob on the top of the unit.

8. Pressing the Setting button once more will
set the heater into the FAN mode, ‘FA’ and
current room temperature will then appear
on the LED display. FAN mode is for fan-only
operation with no output of heat .

9. Pressing the Setting button again will cause
the heater to go back to the LOW heat
mode. Continuing to press the Setting
button will cycle the unit through LOW,
HIGH, AUTO & FAN mode.

10. To turn the heater off, press the Setting
button for approximately two to three
seconds until you hear a ‘beep’. Turn off the
power on/off switch and power outlet and
remove the plug from the power outlet.

OSCILLATION FUNCTION:

Oscillate button (OSC) will allow the heater to
oscillate back and forth. To stop the unit oscillating,

15ºC and 38ºC.

4. When the air temperature reaches 2º above
the set temperature the heater will stop
heating at once and stop blowing after
approximately 15 seconds.

5. When the air temperature drops 1ºC below
the set temperature the unit will reactivate.

SAFETY FEATURES:

This heater includes an audible alarm to warn
that parts of the heater are overheating. If this
alarm sounds, immediately turn the heater off
and inspect for any objects on or adjacent to
the heater that may cause high temperature. DO
NOT OPERATE THE HEATER WITH THE ALARM
SOUNDING.

Thermo Guard Overheating Safety Device

restart the heater.

If the heater fails to operate or the safety device
switches off again, return the heater to your
nearest service centre for examination or repair.
