Thank you for choosing this De’Longhi heater. To get the
very best out of your new heater it is advisable to read
these instructions before using it.This will ensure that you

Electrical connection
- Before plugging the appliance into the mains, check that your
supply voltage is the same as that shown on the rating plate of
the appliance.
-If using more than one appliance at a time, it is important to
ensure that the ring main is adequate to cope with the power
requirements.
- It is important to ensure that the socket is adequately earthed.
- This appliance complies with EEC directive 89/336 regarding
electromagnetic compatibility.
Installation (If required)
Models with a motorised base can be wall-mounted, using 3 screws
and 3 wall plugs.
To wall-mount, proceed as follows:
Drill holes in the wall, as shown in Fig.1, paying particular attention
to the minimum distances indicated.
Hang the appliance on the wall and fasten it using the third screw
at the bottom.
The appliance must not be positioned directly underneath a fixed
power point.
Operation and use
Insert the plug into the mains socket and switch on.
Turn the thermostat clockwise to its highest setting (so the number
6 is at the pointer).
Select the heat setting as follows:
Minimum Power: Turn the function selector, so the number 1is
positioned at the pointer (the pilot light will
come on).
Maximum Power:Turn the function selector, so the number 2is
positioned at the pointer.
To turn the heater off, turn the function selector so the 0is posi-
tioned at the pointer.

Cool Air Facility
For summer use you may wish to use the heater’s cool air facility.
To obtain cool air, simply turn the function selector to and the
thermostat to the highest position (so the number 6 is at the
pointer)
Frost protection function
Turn the thermostat fully anti-clockwise so the is positioned
at the pointer. Select a heat setting using the function selector (1
or 2). When set in this way, the appliance will switch on automati-
cally only if the room temperature falls below 5°C, to prevent
freezing at minimum energy consumption.
Models with 24hour timer
To set the timer;
- Check the time by your watch. If, for example it is 10 o’clock,
turn the number disc of the timer in a clockwise direction until
the number 10 on the disc lines up with the arrow head mark-
er (▲).
- The heater is usually supplied with all the red “teeth” on the
timer pushed into the centre for continuous operation. Each
“tooth” represents 15 minutes. Using your thumbnail push the
teeth to the outer rim of the timer to indicate when you require
the heater to be off.
- Ensure the heater is on at the mains and set to the heat setting
(using the function selector) and temperature level on the ther-
mostat as desired.
-The heater will now function automatically everyday, switching
on and off according to your selection (IMPORTANT – the
heater must always be plugged in and a heat setting selected).
- If you wish to operate the heater without using the timer sim-
ply push all the teeth into the centre (as when the heater was
first supplied).
Models with a motorised oscillating base
Some models feature a motorised oscillating base to distribute the
airflow over a larger area. To turn the oscillation on press the
footswitch at the front of the heater.
To stop the heater in a particular position, simply press the
footswitch again.
The heater can also be tilted manually on its base to vary the air-
flow up and down.
Please note: This heater is fitted with a tip over switch, which
turns the heater off should it be accidentally knocked over. To
restart the heater, simply place it upright again.

Electrical connection (U.K. only)
A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a
13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be
cut off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted, as
below.
WARNING:Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after
removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere
in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.
With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must
be re-fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta
approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover,
the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can
be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer.The colour of
the correct replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the
base of the plug.
B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the
instructions provided below:
