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
to achieve optimal results and safety. This
appliance also meets the requirements of
EU Directive 2004/106/EC for EMC and
2009/125/EC Directive.
Safety & Care
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 in 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 any
aperture of this appliance.
• Do NOT touch outlet grille when the
appliance is in use.
• Do NOT cover or restrict any aperture of
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.
• Operating temperature range -10 to +40
ºC
• The heater MUST be fully secured in the
vertical position before being switched
on.
Thermally Operated Cut-Out
The appliance is fitted with a thermally operated
cut-out (TOC). This is a safety device, which
switches the heater off if, for any reason, the
appliance overheats. This will reset automatically
once the appliance cools down.
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.
If Your Heater Does Not Work
• Check that power is available to the heater.
• Check that the thermal cut-out has not
operated. This will reset once the appliance has
cooled down.
• Check that the fuse in the spur unit has not
blown. This can be done by replacing the fuse
with another suitable fuse.
Should none of the above remedies work, then
telephone the helpline number shown in these
instructions (UK ONLY). Do not attempt to repair the
heater.
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
latest 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 must be permanently connected to the
electricity supply via a double pole switch having
3mm gap on each pole. There are no exceptions.
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.

Ensuring you don’t waste energy on heating the outside
world, the heater is equipped with optional open /
closed window detection. The heater recognises sudden
drops in temperature when a window or a door is
opened and turns the heating off to save energy. When
the window is closed, the heater will automatically
detect a temperature rise, and switch itself back on.
Once enabled in the setup menu, the open window
detection is fully automatic and does not require any
human intervention to be activated.
Setting-up Open Window Detection
The system has been factory set to default time and
temperature values. If necessary, all values can be
adjusted. When the heating is on, open window
detection sensor will automatically switch the heater off
when it detects a fall in temperature of 2°C in less than
10 minutes (this temperature can be changed in menu 7
and time in menu 6). If a temperature rise of 2°C in less
than 30 seconds is detected, the heater will switch itself
back on (this temperature can be changed in menu 9
and time in menu 8).

01 - temperature calibration
The temperature reading has been factory calibrated
but if for any reason it needs adjusting (better accuracy
required, to suit different position in the room etc.), the
reading can be recalibrated in 0.5 degree steps.
02 - change between degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit
03 - set minimum temperature
(3.5 deg = frost protection)
When this is set, the heater will operate in any mode
should the room temperature fall below the set
temperature.
04 - set maximum temperature
When this is set, the maximum temperature in any mode
cannot exceed the limit.
05 - open window detection 0 = off, 1 = on
06 - 600 - open window detection time 600 seconds
07 - 2 - temperature drop of 2°C in the detection time
