FROST FIGHTER SETTING
Your appliance can be used in various situ-
ations to protect against frost.
Examples are; in the attic, protecting water
tanks and pipes.
To set the unit to function in these environ-
ments, turn the thermostat knob anti-
clockwise to the ‘frost fight’ position, as
shown in figure 2..
The thermostat is now set at approximately
50C. This means that when the air tempera-
ture around the unit drops below approxi-
mately 50C the unit will switch itself on. It
will continue to operate until the air tem-
perature surrounding the unit rises above
50C and then will switch itself off, coming
back on again when the temperature starts
to drop.
THERMAL OPERATED CUT-OUT
The appliance is fitted with a thermally op-
erated cut-out (TOC). This is a safety de-
vice, which switches the heater off if, for
any reason, the appliance overheats. The
TOC can only be re-set after the appliance
has cooled down. In order to re-set the
TOC, proceed as follows:
 Switch off appliance and leave for
approximately 5 minutes.
 Switch appliance back on and the
TOC will re-set.
 Ensure that the appliance is function-
ing correctly. If the ES Control oper-
ates again, the appliance should be
checked by a competent Electrician.
