Air for combustion is taken from outside
the room and the flue products are
exhausted outside, keeping the room air

clean.

Warm air flows from the bottom of the
appliance through the louvres, assisting

in even heat distribution. An integral
humidifier tray is built into the warm air
discharge duct.

The function will automatically operate the
appliance within one hour prior to the

programmed time of the Timer. This is
designed to heat a room to the pm-set

temperature by the programmed time.

The Dual Timer allows you to programme
the appliance to come on for two separate

periods each day, usually one period in
the morning, and one period in the evening.
The built in Intelligent Mode brings the room
temperature to the temperature you have
selected, by the time programmed into the
Timer.

The Dual Timer feature means that you can

“Set and Forget” your heater. It will turn
itself ON and OFF at times you have
programmed until you cancel the Timer
program.
