GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WORK AREA
1. These heaters are for INDOOR USE ONLY.
2. Do not expose the heater or power cable to rain or wet conditions. Any
water entering the heater will increase the risk of electric shock. DO NOT
use this heater in a bathroom, shower room, in the vicinity of a swimming
pool, or any wet environment.
3. NEVER locate the heater near combustible materials such as curtains,
furniture etc. Allow at least 1 metre clearance.
4. DO NOT locate the heater close to an adjacent wall or ceiling. Allow a

13. Do not use this heater with a programmable timer used to switch it on
automatically.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Electrical appliances must match the power outlet. Never modify the plug
in any way. Do not use adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded)
appliances. Correct plugs and outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
2. Do not abuse the electrical cable. Never use the cable for pulling or
unplugging the heater. Keep the cable away from sources of heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the
risk of electric shock.

5
3. Keep the mains cable well away from machines and ensure an adequate

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
DEVIL 6002 (2KW)AND 6003 (3KW) HEATER UNITS
These models are provided with a 13 amp BS 1363 plug, fitted with a 13amp
fuse and MUST be connected to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply,
preferably through an approved plug, or a suitably fused isolator switch.
WARNING! Read these electrical safety instructions thoroughly
before connecting the product to the mains supply.
Before switching the machine on, make sure that the voltage of your
electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate. This
product is designed to operate on 230 VAC mains power. Connecting it to
any other power source may cause damage.
This product may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to
change the fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover
becomes lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable
replacement is obtained.
If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or
due to damage, it should be cut off and a replacement fitted, following the
wiring instructions shown below. The old plug must be disposed of safely, as
insertion into a mains socket could cause an electrical hazard.
WARNING! The wires in the power cable of this product are
coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue = Neutral Brown = Live Yellow and Green = Earth
If the colours of the wires in the power cable of this product do not
correspond with the terminal markings of your plug, proceed as follows.
• The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked N or coloured Black.
• The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the
terminal which is marked L or coloured Red.
• The wire which is coloured Yellow and Green must be connected to
the terminal which is marked E or or coloured Green.

DEVIL 6005 (5KW), DEVIL 6009(9KW) AND DEVIL 6015(15KW) UNITS
These machines MUST be connected to a 400 Volt, 3 PHASE 50Hz supply
through a suitably fused isolator switch. They cannot be operated from a single
phase supply.
The user should purchase a suitable connecting lead as shown in the diagram,
which is compatible with the appliance socket. The unit requires 5 pins
including a master earth pin, and is suitable for AC 380/415v, 50/60Hz with a
capacity of 16A/6h (Devil 6005 and 6009) or 32A/6h (Devil 6015) and rated at
IP44 class (or better) insulation. A length of 2-3 metres is recommended as
giving mobility to the appliance but without becoming a trip hazard.
The plug incorporates a hood which will secure the cable in position when
engaged with the appliance.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any electrical
repairs yourself.
Plug must be BS1363/A approved

OPERATION
The Devil range of fan assisted electric heaters are suitable for household
(Devil 6002 & 6003 only) or workshop/factory use. They incorporate a
thermostat which detects the temperature of the room air and controls the
heater to maintain a pre-selected temperature between 0 & 40°C. A
manually reset thermal cutout is provided for safety in the event of
overheating on the 6005, 6009 & 6015 models. The 2kw and 3kw units are
fitted with a self-resetting thermal cutout. The fan motor runs independently
of the thermostat and continues running after the heating element has been
switched off.
With the heater sited on a firm level surface and at a safe distance from
flamable objects (in compliance with all safety precautions), plug the heater
into the mains and set the thermostatic control to the maximum temperature
setting. Switch the heater on to one of the following power settings. Once the
room reaches the required temperature, you should turn the thermostatic
control slowly anti-clockwise until the heater switches off. The heater will now
start and stop automatically to mantain the room temperature.
2 KW HEATERS
The 2kw heater has three settings for 1) fan plus single heating element, 2) fan
plus two heating elements and 3) fan plus all three heating elements. The
other control is a progressive thermostat which is rotated through 270
degrees. A cutout is used to maintain a constant pre-set temperature.

3 KW HEATERS
The 3kw heater has three settings for 1) fan only, 2) fan plus single heating
element, 3) fan plus both heating elements. The other control is a progressive
thermostat which is rotated through 270 degrees. A cutout is used to maintain
a constant pre-set temperature.

The thermostat will then switch the heater on and off automatically to control
the room temperature according to the pre-set value, maintaining a
constant room temperature.
When using the heater to warm a cold room, first turn the thermostat to MAX
and run the heater on full power until the room temperature reaches the
required value, then turn the thermostat anti-clockwise until it switches off.
When using the heater for the first time a slight emission of smoke may be
noticed. This is quite normal and soon stops. It is caused by residual traces of
oil remaining on the element from production.
After use, turn the thermostat to the OFF position and turn the selector switch
to the Fan Only position, and leave the unit to cool down for a couple of
minutes.
5KW, 9KW &15KW HEATERS
The 5 & 9kw units have a three-position twist control for FAN only, and FAN
plus either half or full heat output. The 15kw unit has a four position control;-
FAN only, FAN + 1/3, FAN + 2/3 & FAN + full heat output. A thermostatic
temperature control is also provided for fine control of heat output at a
constant pre-set temperature.
Should the heater overheat, a thermal cutout will operate, shutting down the
unit. If this happens, allow time for the unit to cool (approx. 10 minutes) before
pressing the RESET using a suitable tool, and restarting the heater.
When switching the unit OFF, it is strongly recommended that the unit is run in
the FAN ONLY mode for approx. 10 minutes, in order to cool the heating
elements, before switching OFF completely and finally disconnecting from
the mains supply.

The thermal cutout may also operate if the heater is shut down without
allowing to cool sufficiently. If subsequently, the heater fails to start, press the
RESET using a suitable tool and try again.
MAINTENANCE
If the heater has been used, ALWAYS allow it to cool down for at least 10
minutes (by switching the heater off, but leave the fan running), then
disconnect from the mains supply before performing any maintenance tasks.
PERIODICALLY
• Disconnect from the mains supply, and use compressed air to clean
out the unit. ALWAYS wear a dust mask to perform this operation.
• If there is any serious build up of dirt, wipe thoroughly with a damp
cloth. Take care that no moisture enters the heater.
• Inspect the mains cable for damage. Heat damage will cause the
cable to stiffen and crack. If this is found, have the cable replaced.
Check cable routing and ensure it is well away from the heat
source.
• Ensure heating elements are clear of dust (use compressed air to
clean the heater if possible).
• Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts, most plastics are
susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents.
• Refer to your CLARKE dealer if internal maintenance is required. The
unit is fitted with tamper-proof screws to discourage users from
dismantling the heater.
• When storing the heater, allow it to cool down, then cover it with its
plastic bag and place it in its packing box for storage in a dry,
ventilated place.
