HOW TO OPERATE THE HEATER

TO TURN THE HEATER ON

Before you begin, ensure that the Gas and Power have been connected correctly to the appliance.

To turn the appliance on press the ON/OFF button located on the control panel. For models that
are equipped with a remote control the ON button may also be used.

When pressed the appliance will begin to operate in the following factory preset manner:

• The default set temperature will be 22° C .

• The current room temperature will be displayed , /

• The On/Combustion indicator will illuminate Green (steady). Ignition will take 5 ~ 10 seconds.

The ON/Combustion indicator will change to Red (steady

) after proper ignition has been

achieved to signify the correct burner operation.

TO ADJUST SET TEMPERATURE

The set temperature may be raised or lowered by use of the Up and Down buttons located on the
control panel. For models that are equipped with a remote control the Up and Down buttons may
also be used.

The following "SET" temperatures can be selected.

• 'L' for continuous combustion on lowest burner setting, without thermostatic control.

• Thermostatic control between 16º C to 26º C in 1º C steps

• 'H' for continuous combustion on

highest burner setting, without thermostatic control.

The room temperature will display temperatures between 1º C to 30º C.

Once the temperature is set it will be stored in the microcomputers memory, if the temperature is not
adjusted further it will be available as the initial setting when the appliance is next used.

When using the appliance for the first time or after long periods of disuse, ignition may
not occur the first time it is operated as there may be air within the pipes. If ignition
does not occur after approximately 30-seconds the unit will cease operation
automatically. If this occurs press the ON/OFF button twice to restart. For models
that are equipped with a remote control the press the OFF button and then press
the ON button to restart.

The unit may make noises after ignition/extinction. This is due to expansion and
cont

raction of the heater components and is normal.

The heater will not immediately ignite if the ON/OFF button is pressed straight after
extinction. After approximately 20 seconds has passed, the heater will automatically
go into ignition mode.

Rooms may not arrive at the "SET" temperature due to the size and construction of
the room, location of the appliance or external temperatures.

HOW TO OPERATE THE HEATER

TO TURN THE HEATER OFF

To turn the heater off while it is in operation press the ON/OFF button located on the control panel.
For models that are equipped with a remote control the OFF button may also be used.

The On/Combustion indicator will go out.

USING THE ECONOMY MODE

As a room is warmed, the walls and ceilings are also warmed, making one feel a little warmer than
when the ceilings and walls were cold, even though the room temperature is the same. The Economy
mode prevents discomfort from overheating and saves energy.

When the Economy mode is selected the appliance will heat the room. Once the set temperature has
been maintained for a period

of 30 minutes, the comfort control system will progressively lower the

set temperature by 2°C over a period of 60 minutes.

To cancel Economy mode press the Economy button and the Economy indicator will go out
to show that the economy mode has now been cancelled.

After the On/Combustion indicator has gone out, the appliance fan will continue
to cycle for several minutes. This is to lower the temperature within the appliance and
is normal. DO NOT disconnect the power during this time.

TIMER OPERATION - AVENGER, BLAZE & DYNAMO

PREHEAT

This function operates automatically in
conjunction with the Timers. When a Timer is
selected, the heater may operate anywhere
within an hour prior to the programmed
starting time of a Timer.

This function is called Pre-heat since it
ensures the room reaches the desired
temperature by the On Time programmed
into the Timer(s). The room temperature is
sensed one hour before the programmed On
Time.

The temperature differential at the time of sensing the room temperature combined with the data from
previous operation governs exactly how long

before the programmed On time the micro-computer will

operate the heater and ignite the burner.

USING THE OVERRIDE FUNCTION

This function is used to manually override the current operation of the heater. For example: if the
heater is between the finishing and starting times of a timer program and the Override button is
selected, then the heater will begin to operate and heat the room.

The heater must be between the finishing and starting times of a timer program for the Override to
function to work. Either of the Timer indicators or will be illuminated and the Combustion

Override indicator

will flash to show that the heater is now operating in override mode. The heater

will now start and full manual control will now be available.

To cancel override and to return to Timer operation press the Override button again. The Override
indicator will go out and the and Combustion indicator will be illuminated green to confirm that
timer operation has been restored and that the heater is awaiting a timer operation to begin. If the
Override button is not pressed the heater will remain on until the next programmed Off time setting
is reached.

If the ON/OFF button or the OFF button on the remote control are pressed the
heater will be turned off and the timer programs will not operate.

OPERATING THE ON TIMER

The Delay On Timer allows you to delay the start time of the heater for up to 24 hours.

To operate, press the On Timer button . The On Timer indicator will illuminate and the
Combustion indicator will be illuminated green to confirm that the heater is awaiting for the Delay
‘on’ time period to pass before commencing operation. The Delay On timer indicator will also
illuminate and the current Delay On Time period will be displayed on the Digital (Temp / Time) display

for 60 seconds. Whilst displayed, the Delay On time can be adjusted by pressing the Up or Down
buttons . A delay time of up to 9½ hours can be set in increments of 30 minutes and a delay time
of up to 24 hours

in increments of 60 minutes.

When the programmed Delay ‘On’ time period has passed, the heater will automatically begin
operation.

OPERATING THE OFF TIMER

The Off Timer allows you to set a 60 minute delay before the heater will automatically turn off.

To operate, press the Off Timer button . The Off Timer indicator will illuminate and the
Combustion indicator will be illuminated red to confirm that the heater will continue operation until
the Delay ‘off’ time period has passed after which it will stop. The Delay Off time is 60 minutes. When
this time has passed, the heater will automatically stop operation and the Off Timer indicator will
flash.

During Off Timer operation full manual control of the heater is available.

The delay ‘On’ time last programmed is stored in the memory and will be the default
until it is re-adjusted.

If the On Timer button is pressed whilst the heater is in operation the On Timer will
override manual operation.

The Off Timer and On Timers work independently of each other. However, if both
timers are operating and the Delay On time period is 30 minutes, the Delay Off Timer
will override the Delay On Timer.
