wall & hang from the wall in a dry position away from open or running water. See installation sections for
details.

3. Turn the heater off at the power switch (on the top right hand side of the unit). Plug the cord set into a
220-240V~A.C. 50Hz electrical outlet. Turn the power on at the electrical outlet.

4. Turn the heater on at the power switch (on the right hand side of the unit). Depending on the last setting, either
the numeric display will light up showing the previous temperature setting (the appliance will start to operate), or
the numeric display decimal point will light up (the appliance in stand-by mode). If in stand-by mode, press the
power button to start the appliance, and press again to put back to stand-by mode.

NOTE: Heater must have castors fitted or be attached to a wall before use.

FILTERS

The main filter can be fitted by pushing it into the slots mounted at the
bottom of the appliance. It is designed to stop hair and dust from entering
the appliance and collecting where it is hard to clean as well as removing
them from air circulation. Remover the filter and clean with a vacuum
cleaner periodically to keep the appliance working efficiently. NOTE:
Allowing dust & hair to build up can create a potential fire hazard. The

small filter inserts can be used to
disperse fragrance oils. Place one or
2 drops of the fragrance oil in each
filter insert, and place in the rear
corners of the main filter. Place the
main filter under the appliance as
described above. The heating effect and natural air convection will draw the
scent through the heater and help distribute it throughout the room. NOTE:
Do not overload the filter inserts with oils as they could be potentially
flammable.

FITTING CASTORS

Make sure the heater is unplugged from the mains power. Turn the
heater upside down & rest on a protective surface. Place a castor bracket
over the screw hole at either side of the heater base. Use the supplied
thumb screw to attach the castor bracket firmly to the heater base (do not
over-tighten). Push the castors into the slots. Turn the heater right side up
& it is ready to connect to mains power. Note: The heater gets hot when
in use, so it is best not to move when in use. If it must be moved, use the
castor brackets or control panel as points of contact.

WALL MOUNTING

Do not fit the castors to the base of the heater. Make sure the heater is
unplugged from the mains power and the wall is suitable for mounting
the panel heater and there are the correct clearances. Make sure the
panel heater is within 1 metre of a power socket. Detach the mounting
bracket from the rear of the heater by compressing the 2 bracket clips,
pulling the clips out of the heater rear & removing the bracket hooks
from the heater.

Position the bracket on the wall in the desired position & drill holes for
four mounting screws. Once the holes are drilled, use four screws
(appropriate for the type of wall) to fix the
bracket firmly in place. Check for strength.
Carefully place the heater (slightly tilted
forward) onto the hooks at the bottom of the
bracket & rotate back so the clips fix back into
their original holes. Check that they are fixed
correctly. If possible, have a second person
help to check for alignment as the heater is
attached. The heater is now ready to connect
to the mains power.

HINTS & TIPS

Where possible, your electric panel convection heater should be connected to a power outlet that uses a separate
10 amp power circuit than other items. This will avoid overloading your household fuse.
In the event that your household fuse is overloaded and trips, please note this is normally caused by the use of
excessive power outlets at the same time your heater is operating (for example, a steam iron, kettle, toaster etc.).
Please ensure to check the use of the power circuit and adjust when heater is in use (i.e. turn off the heater when
boiling a kettle).
If your heater does not work:

 Check that power is available to the heater & it is plugged in & turned on.
 Check that the heater temperatures are set correctly for the ambient temperature.
 Check that the thermal cut-out has not activated (see safety features).
 Do not try to repair the heater.
