3 Before Use

Remove all packaging and dispose of thoughtfully.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new heater.
Before first using your new heater, it is most important that you read and follow the instructions in this instruction manual, even if you feel you are quite familiar with this type of product.
Your attention is drawn particularly to the section dealing with “IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS”.
Find a place and keep this manual handy for future reference.
Your heater is easy and safe to use. It has been designed to function quietly and safely under normal circumstances.
Read all instructions to ensure safe and efficient use.
NOTE: Keep combustible materials such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains, etc. at least 90cm from the top and all sides of the heater.
DO NOT place anything directly in front of the heater. Keep a safe operating distance of at least 120cm.
DO NOT drape clothes, towels etc. over the heater.

4 Tip Over Switch

This heater is fitted with a “Tip Over Switch” built into the base of the heater, so in the event that the heater may be knocked over, power to the heater is immediately turned off.
As soon as the heater is stood up again and the base is rested on a hard flat horizontal surface, the heater will switch back on.
Do not use on long carpet or the like.
Under no circumstances should the Tip Over Switch be tampered with or bypassed.

5 Operation

5.1 Controls

Ensure the Fan control is set to the “O” (Off) position.
Fully unwind the power cord then plug into the powerpoint and switch on.
When first setting up the temperature setting, turn the Fan / On-Off / Heat Control
Switch to Maximum Power “II” and turn the Adjustable Room Thermostat fully clockwise to maximum.
The Indicator light will illuminate indicating the element is heating.
When the room reaches the desired temperature, slowly turn the Adjustable Room
Thermostat down (anticlockwise) until you hear it “Click” off. The indicator light will turn off.
Leave the Adjustable Room Thermostat in this position and the heater will now cycle on and off and maintain the desired room tem perature.
Note: The indicator light will turn on and off as the heating element turns on and off.
As the thermostat maintains room temperature it will switch on and off. As it switches on and off, you may notice a blue flash from inside the heater. This is NOT dangerous and no cause for alarm
At the same time, you may turn the Fan / On-Off / Heat Control Switch down to the Low Heat setting “I” to reduce the power consumption. This will however increase the amount of time it takes to reheat.
On very cold days this may not be practical, as heat losses can exceed the heat generated by your heater. Larger rooms and open space areas may also find the low or medium heat setting ineffective.
You will need to experiment with this heater to establish the exact setting required for any particular room or space.
Best performance and efficiency is achieved with an insulated home, closed windows & doors and with drapes closed.

6 Safety Cut-Off Device

This heater is fitted with a Safety Cut-out Device to prevent injury or damage should the internal temperature exceed the safe operating temperature.
Should the heater turn off unexpectedly, first unplug the appliance from the wall power point and let cool. It is more than likely that the thermal Cut-Off device has activated
This may have been caused by either the Rear Air Inlet grille being blocked (or partially block), the fan stopping due to a foreign object being inserted into the fan, the front air outlet grill being blocked (or partially blocked) or a build up of dust and fluff etc, inside the appliance.
The appliance cannot be reset and must be taken to your nearest electrician for repairs.
Please note: The Therm al Cut-Off device will not activate during normal use. Refer to the notes in “Important Safeguards” to prevent this from happening.
