General

The heater may be used free standing on feet or wall mounted on
brackets. The necessary feet and wall brackets are provided. The
heater should only be operated when in the upright position as shown
in Fig. 1 above.

T o fit feet

foot over slots and holes in base (see Fig. 4c) and push into slots until
the foot clips into place.

Finally take the foot fixing screw, insert and tighten using a screwdriver

Wall Mounting

The heater should be positioned observing the minimum clearances ­see Fig. 1 and in accordance with the safety warnings.

Three identical wall mounting brackets are secured to the base of the
heater with a fixing screw. To wall mount appliance, first remove the
brackets as follows :

Lay the heater on its back.
Following the sequence in Fig. 2 – identify and remove the fixing screw

securing the brackets as shown in (a), then pull out brackets and rotate
them to disengage them from the slot (b).

Select a suitable position on a wall, near to a mains power socket,
making sure that there is at least 230 mm below the heater and at least
450 mm above the heater of unobstructed space - see also ‘Positioning
the heater’.

Fix the two top retaining brackets to the wall, using suitable fixings at
358mm centres – see Fig. 3.

Locate the heater on the top brackets and allow it to hang in place.
Fit the bottom bracket into the slot in the heater and then fix it to the

wall.
Test that the heater is now securely fixed to the wall.

Operation

Plug in and switch on at the wall socket. On model’s with a neon, the
neon will light when the heater is connected to the power supply.

Thermostat

The thermostat controls the heat output according to the room
temperature. This ensures that the heater will not produce heat
unnecessarily when the room is warm. To set the temperature you
require, turn the thermostat knob clockwise until the desired temperature
is reached. Alternatively to heat a cold room quickly, turn the thermostat
knob up fully. When the room has reached the desired temperature,
turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise until the thermostat just clicks
off.

The heater will now automatically operate at this temperature.
The thermostat also has a frost protection setting marked ‘ ’. This

setting is useful in areas such as garages to prevent frost damage. If
the thermostat is set to its minimum setting ‘ ’, the heater will cycle
ON and OFF to maintain a temperature of approximately 5°C to help

protect against frosty conditions.

Heat Selector Switch

The heat selection switch is an economy feature.
The switch is a 2 position switch with two possible heat settings as
follows;

I- The heater operates at half heat output.
I I - The heater operates at full heat output.

IMPORTANT – The wall brackets

supplied with the heater must be used.

Mechanical Timer
Operation

Set the I - - slide switch on
the timer (Fig.4) to:

Position - Heating Off
Position I - Manual operation

This setting allows power to the
heater uninterrupted by the timer
settings. The heat selector
switch will control the output
(see heater).

Position - ‘Auto’ operation
DO NOT disconnect this heater

from the mains supply unless it is
being taken out of use (e.g. in
summer or for storage),
otherwise the timer clock will
stop.

Setting the time of day

To set the time of day, rotate the
timer dial clockwise (indicated by
the arrow) until the correct time
of day is opposite the reference

mark (see Fig. 5). The 24-hour
clock is used ; e.g. time shown

for 4 pm is ‘16’ (16:00hrs).

Setting the ‘Auto’ ON and
OFF times

T o set the timer :

1. Using your finger tip or the tip

of a pencil, push in as many
segments as necessary around
the dial, according to the times you
don’t require heat – see Fig. 6. Each
segment pushed in switches the
heater OFF for that part of the hour.
All other segments will be ON. For
example, Fig. 7 shows the timer
set to switch the heater ON
between 4.00pm and 9.30pm and
between 7.00am and 9.00am.

as required.

Switching to auto

Set the heat selector and
thermostat for the heat output
required.

Check that the clock shows the
correct time of day. Set the I - -

slide switch to (see Fig. 8) -

the heater will switch ON and OFF
according to the timer settings (see

Fig. 7).

IMPORT ANT NOTES

Positioning the heater

Always ensure that the heater is stood on a firm, level base near to,
but not directly beneath, a suitable mains supply socket.
Ensure that curtains and furniture are not positioned close to the
chosen position, as this would create a potential fire hazard.
We recommend that the heater should be wall-mounted in rooms
where children may be left unattended.
