• TO OPEN THE CONTROL PANEL

Lift lightly in the centre of the lid where there is a catch. The control panel lid will then open backward to
an angle.

• TURNING ON

Press the ON/OFF button to operate the heater. The ON indicator will glow green. The spark generator will
be heard before the burner ignites and the ON indicator glows red, indicating that the burner is alight.
Warm air can be felt coming from the louvres. The fan will come on automatically after 4 minutes.

• TURNING OFF

Simply press the ON/OFF button to switch off the heater. The ON indicator will go out. The convection fan will
continue to operate for several minutes after the burner has gone out in order to cool the appliance. Do not
unplug the appliance while the convection fan is running.

• ROOM TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

Press the “▲“ button to increase the temperature setting or “▼“ button to decrease the temperature setting.

The temperatures can be preset to: a) [L] low (about 10°C)

b) [16°C] to [26°C] in 1°C steps
c) [H] (continuously high)

• LOCK

To operate the lock simply press the LOCK button. The function is activated immediately and the LOCK
indicator will glow. To deactivate the LOCK simply press the LOCK button for 3 seconds and the LOCK
indicator will go out. The LOCK can be deactivated at any time in this way.

If the heater does not ignite on initial use, this may be due to air remaining in the gas supply line. The
spark generator will only continue for 15 seconds. After this it will be necessary to press the ON/OFF
button OFF, then ON again.

DO NOT turn heater off by unplugging at the power point. The convection fan will continue to run
until the appliance cools.

The room temperature and pre-set temperatures can only be displayed and adjusted when the
heater is running.

If the heater does not ignite then the pre-set temperature may not be set to a setting which is higher
than the room temperature. The ON indicator will change colour from red to green when the heater
reaches the pre-set temperature and stops running.

The LOCK function will help to prevent accidental operation as well as small children from altering
the controls.

During normal operation the LOCK may be activated and all controls, other than the OFF switch, will
be locked. Deactivating the LOCK releases the controls. If the LOCK is activated whilst the heater is
turned OFF, then all functions will be locked. If the heater is turned OFF while the LOCK is activated,
it cannot be turned ON again until the LOCK is deactivated.

• FLAME

To operate the Flame function, simply press the FLAME button. This function will automatically override
the thermostat and set the heater to a default Medium High heat setting for full visual flame effect.

• AUTO OFF

To operate the Auto Off function, simply press the Auto Off button.
When the Auto Off function is ON, the indicator light will flash and the thermostat will turn the burners
down to the OFF heat setting.
When the Auto Off function is OFF, the indicator light will go Off and the thermostat will turn the burners
down to the LOW heat setting.

OPERATION

4

To operate the OVERRIDE simply press the OVERRIDE button. The OVERRIDE indicator will flash.

To manually deactivate the OVERRIDE simply press the OVERRIDE button again. The OVERRIDE indicator
will go out, and the heater will return to standby mode.

This function is intended to be used to manually override the current operation of the heater. For
example; If the heater is in standby mode (ie. between finishing time and starting time of a Timer),
and the OVERRIDE button is selected, then the heater will begin to operate and heat the room.

The heater will continue to operate on OVERRIDE until the OVERRIDE button is pressed again, or
one of the Timers takes over the operation of the appliance. This means that the OVERRIDE mode
will automatically drop out if a programmed starting time is reached. The appliance will then return to
operating at times programmed into the Timer(s).

• OVERRIDE

• REMOTE CONTROL

To manually operate when Timer(s) are not selected, simply press the ON or OFF button.

To alter the temperature at anytime while the heater is operating, simply press the “▲“ or “▼“ buttons.

for operating

remote control

Some fluorescent lights may interfere with the transmission of remote control signals, in this case changing
the position from which you are operating the remote control may help.

Avoid getting the remote control wet, or dropping it.

The remote control works within 5 metres and an angle of 40° to the receiver on the heater.

Only use the battery type specified. (CR2032).

Remove battery if control is not going to be used for a long period. This will help avoid damage from
leaking batteries.

If the Timer(s) have been selected, and the heater is in standby mode, and the OFF button on the
Remote Control is pressed, the Timer(s) will be deactivated.

Press and hold the “▲“ button; the minutes will begin to change first, then the time will change by whole

hours.

Release the button when AM 10:00 shows on the Digital Display. Confirm that you have selected AM, a small
indicator on the left hand side of the Digital Display indicates the AM setting.

Press and hold the “▲“ button again, release the button when AM 10:35 shows. If you go past AM 10:35, then
the “▼“ button can be used to change the time settings in reverse.

Press the Timer Set button five times to lock in and complete setting the time. The Clock and Timer indicators
will go out. A small indicator on the Digital Display will flash to show that the clock is operating.

• SETTING THE CLOCK

When the appliance is first plugged in or after a power failure, the Digital Display will show --:--

As an example, let’s set the clock to 10:35 am:

Press the SET TIMES button once, the Clock indicator will flash.

As an example, let’s program Timer 1 to heat the room by 7:10am and finish at 9:00am.

Press the Set Times button twice. The Digital Display will show AM 6:00. Timer 1 indicator will flash.

Press the “▲“ button until AM 7:00 appears, release the button, then press it again until AM 7:10 appears.
(Press the “▼“ button if you go past AM 7:10.)

Press the Set Times button again, the Timer 1 OFF indicator will flash. Press the “▲“ button until AM 9:00
appears. (Press the “▼“ button if you go past AM 9:00.)

Press the Set Times button three times to lock in the program time. The Digital Display will show the current
time. A small indicator on the Digital Display will flash to show that the Display has returned to the clock.

Before programming the Timers you must ensure that the clock has been set to the correct time.

Timer 2 is programmed in the same way, remember to ensure that the Timer 2 indicator is flashing
when you program in the desired setting. The Timers can be programmed to operate for any two
periods in any 24 hours.
Turn to the next page to operate the dual timer. The programmed time must be selected and
locked-in within one minute of the On Timer indicators flashing otherwise the programmed times will
not be retained in the system memory.

• PROGRAMMING THE ON / OFF TIMERS

SETTING THE CLOCK

6

To select the Timer(s) to commence heating.

Check the time shown on the Digital Display is correct.

Check the ON and OFF times, for both Timers if necessary.

Press the ON/OFF button to operate the heater. The ON indicator will glow green and the heater will begin to
operate.

Select the desired temperature setting.

Press the Timer 1 and/or Timer 2 button(s). The timer indicator(s) will glow and the heater will remain on
standby until one hour prior to the time programmed into the selected Timer(s) is reached. When this time is
reached, the Timer indicator will flash and the heater will operate. The ON indicator glows red when the

heater commences operation.

• SET AND FORGET OPERATION

Your heater can be operated to alternate between Timers automatically during cold weather by selecting
Timer 1 and Timer 2 together. Both Timer indicators will glow. The appliance will remain on standby at intervals
between the programmed finishing and starting times of each Timer. While the heater is operating during
programmed intervals the Timer indicator will flash.

Before operating the Timer(s), the clock time must be correct and a starting time and finishing time
for the Timer(s) must be programmed. See page 5. The two Timers operate in the same way. This
heater does not commence operation at the programmed starting time. It will attempt to heat a room
by the programmed starting time. See Pre-heat page 6, for further explanation.

If there is a power failure, the system memory will retain the Timer programs, and the clock will stop
at the time the power goes off. The clock will start again when the power comes back on, but the time
will be slow by the duration of the power failure. To set the clock to the correct time after the power
has come back on, simply follow the instructions on page 5.

• PREHEAT

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

The preheat function will attempt to preheat the room by the programmed ON time.

This function is called pre-heat due to the way it operates. The room temperature is sensed one hour before
reaching the programmed time of either timer.
The temperature differential at the time of sensing the room governs how long before the program ON time
the microcomputer will operate the heater and ignite the burner.
