PRE-HEAT

Air for combustion is taken from the outside and the flue product are exhausted to the outside. This means heater operation has no effect on the composition and quality of air in the room.

Only one touch of the ‘ON’/’OFF’ button is required to operate the heater.

Prevents children from altering heater settings whilst running, or from activating the heater when turned ‘OFF’.

The micro-computer records selected preset temperatures, the times programmed into Timers as well as operating the Economy/Auto-Off and Pre-heat modes, to maintain comfort levels.

Selected temperature is controlled via thermostat. The optimum corresponding fan speeds are controlled by the Central Processing Unit.

This function will automatically operate the appliance before the programmed start time of the Timer, in order to heat a ro om to the pre-set temperature by the programmed start time.
