Overview
Please read this guide carefully and retain for future use
and maintenance.
This appliance has been designed and manufactured
to the highest international standards, however, care
must be taken for optimal results and safety. This
appliance also meets the requirements of EU Directive
89/336 for EMC.
Note: The rating label can be viewed by loosening the
two mounting bracket screws and hinging the
appliance forward on its retaining chains.
Safety & Care
Our Low Surface Temperature heaters have been
designed and built to the NHS requirement for safe surface
temperatures which is that no surface which can be
touched by the user will be more than 43 degrees C (at a
room temperature of 21 degrees C.) This means that our
Low Surface Temperature heaters out-perform the
European Standard by a significant margin.
The appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
Warning
 Do NOT site the appliance into a corner.
 Do NOT handle the appliance with wet hands.
 Do NOT use the appliance in workshops or rooms
where excessive dust is generated or present.
 Ensure that nothing is pushed into the air outlet of
this appliance.
 Do NOT touch outlet grille when the appliance is in
use.
 Do NOT cover or restrict the appliance when in use.
 Do NOT use the appliance if damaged.
 Do NOT leave the appliance unattended where
young children are present.
 If used in a bathroom, the heater is to be installed so
that the switches and other controls cannot be
touched by a person in the bath or shower.
Connection to the Main Supply
Electrical installation should be carried out by a
competent installer, preferably registered with NICEIC
(National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation
Contracting) in accordance with the 16 edition of the
IEE Wiring Regulations, (BS.7671), and any relevant
Local Authority Bye-Laws. This heater is fitted with a 3-
core mains supply cable and should be permanently
connected to the electricity supply via a double pole
switch having 3mm gap on each pole.
A switched Fused Connection unit to BS.1363. Part 4 is a
recommended mains supply connection accessory to
ensure compliance with safety requirements
applicable to fixed-wiring installation.
Note: When switched on for the first time the appliance may
emit a slight smell. This is purely the evaporation of a fluid used
in the manufacturing process.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
Thermally Operated Cut-Out
The appliance is fitted with an Over Temperature Switch (OTS).
This is a safety device, which switches the heater off if, for any
reason, the appliance overheats. The OTS can only be re-set
after the appliance has cooled down. In order to re-set the
OTS, proceed as follows:
 Switch off appliance and leave for approximately
10 minutes.
 Switch appliance back on and the OTS will re-set.
 Ensure that the appliance is functioning correctly. If
the OTS operates again, the appliance should be
checked by a competent electrician.
The heater carries a ‘Do Not Cover’ label to warn the user that
if the appliance is covered, there is a risk of overheating.
Cleaning
Always disconnect the heater from the mains before cleaning.
The heater should not require any maintenance, but it is
strongly advised that it is kept clean. An occasional wipe over
with a soft cloth is all that should be necessary.
 Do NOT use metal or furniture polish on any part of the
heater.
 Do NOT touch the heater with wet hands or in any way
bring water into contact with it.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person
in order to avoid a hazard.
Mounting
This unit is for wall mounting only. It is designed to be very
quiet in operation if mounted correctly. It must be fitted using
the wall bracket supplied which has been specially designed
to minimise noise levels. Care must be taken when handling
the bracket not to bend or distort it.
When fitting more than one heater into a room we would
recommend that they are sited on the same wall to optimise
airflow and ensure quiet operation.
MOUNTING ON APLASTERBOARD WALL
•Ensure at least one of the wall brackets is secured
to the timber frame of the studded wall by using
standard wood screws.
•Where the bracket is fitted onto plasterboard only,
ensure plasterboard fixings are used. Standard wall
plugs will not be suitable.
•Where possible mount the heater(s) on an outside
wall to inhibit transfer of sound within the building.
NB: Failure to follow the instructions and recommendations
provided could result in increased noise levels.

Using the Timer (TI Models only)
The heater must be connected to the mains supply in order to
operate continuously. Set the time by rotating the dial face
clockwise until the correct time is indicated against the timer
reference mark on the 24-hour clock face.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Move the switch immediately beneath the timer to the auto
position designated.
1. The 24-hour timer can be set to give any combination
of On/Off intervals to a minimum of 20 minutes on. Select the
‘On’ time required by pressing the black segment (on the
circumference of the timer) adjacent to the time required
outwards. This will cause the heater to switch ‘On’ at the
selected time for 20 minutes operation. Each additional
segment pressed out will give a further 20 minutes of
operation. In this way, select the length of time required for
the unit to be ‘On’ and push out the number of 20-minute
segments necessary to select the time period required.
2. The timer can be set to give as many ‘On’ periods as
required during any 24-hour period.
3. This program will repeat itself every 24 hours until
changed. This program may be overridden at any time by
switching to manual operation.
Intelligent Fan Control
The intelligent fan control incorporates one of the latest low
energy consumption BLDC motors. This allows the heater to
operate quietly, whilst still providing the best possible levels of
comfort. The intelligent fan control is only activated when the
heat is switched on and the heater reached working
temperature. When activated, the intelligent fan control
detects the temperature of the room. Depending on which
heat mode is activated, it will calculate the best possible
airflow temperature and will adjust the fan speed accordingly.
If the heater is running in fan mode only (heat switched off),
then the fan will operate at a fixed speed.
NOTE: When turning the heater on, there is a 30 second delay
until fan starts running to allow heater to warm up. After the
heater is switched OFF the fan will continue running for short
period of time. When changing heat mode or fan speed
mode, the fan will respond accordingly after a small time
delay.
If Your Heater Does Not Work
 Check that power is available to the heater. The neon in
the control switch should be illuminated.
 Check that the thermal cut-out has not operated. Follow
the reset instructions given under the section headed
‘Thermal Operated Cut-out’.
 Check that the fuse in the spur unit has not blown. This can
be done by replacing the fuse with another suitable fuse.
Should neither of the above remedies work, then telephone
the helpline number shown in these instructions (UK ONLY). Do
not attempt to repair the heater.

MANUAL OPERATION
All controls are located behind the door on the side of
the heater. The heater is fitted with a built-in thermostat
to control the temperature level to which the room is
heated. The thermostat adjustment knob, which is
located behind the switch panel door on the side of
the heater, is numbered. To set the room temperature
one or both Heat switches must be depressed. (For TI
(timer) models there is a selector switch positioned
below the timer which must be set to the manual
position. Rotate the knob clockwise to a higher
number to raise the room temperature. Once set it is
unlikely it will need to be touched again.
To set the heater to a Frost Watch mode one or both
Heat switches must be depressed. Turn the thermostat
knob fully anti-clockwise until the frost symbol aligns
with mark.
To use the heater on Fan Only mode depress only the
Fan switch (or selector switch in manual position for TI
models). The thermostat control knob must be turned
clockwise to the highest number and heat switches in
OFF position.
The switches operate as follows:
