DO NOT place the heater directly below a xed
socket outlet.
CAUTION: Avoid use of an extension cord
because the extension cord may overheat and
cause risk of re.
WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, do
not cover the heater.
We recommend that you open a window to
ventilate the room when using the heater for
the rst time.
Unplug the heater when not required for long
periods.

or other inammable goods are used or stored.
General
The heater is designed for operation on an AC electricity supply,
and is suitable for use in domestic dwellings and similar indoor
locations.
Always ensure that the appliance is stood on a rm, level base
near to, but not directly beneath, a suitable xed socket outlet.
The heater is fitted with castors and a handle for ease of
movement. Selector switches provide a choice of heat output, an
adjustable thermostat which enables the room temperature to be
controlled accordingly and a turbo Boost fan which is controlled
independently by the turbo switch. It is supplied with a cord and
plug ready for use.
The supply cord should be uncoiled before use (see ‘Storage’).
DO NOT pull the heater along by the mains lead.
Important - The heater must only be operated with the wheels
and castors tted and in the upright position as shown in Fig. 1.
Warning – The heater complies with stringent safety standards
but to ensure efcient operation SURFACES OF THE HEATER
WILL BECOME HOT AND CONTACT WITH THESE AREAS
SHOULD BE AVOIDED, particularly between the ns on the
top and sides.
The control panel area is designed to be at a far lower temperature
to allow the safe operation of the controls at any time.
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
Fitting the castors
Remove the carton containing the castor assemblies from the
packing.
Fit the castors to the stub axles by applying hand pressure until
each castor clicks into position - see Fig. 3. Note that the castors
are designed to be a tight t on the axles but will rotate in use.
The castors can only be tted between the outer ns (as shown
in Fig. 2).
Turn the heater upside down on a carpet or other soft surface
to avoid damage
WARNING: THE HEATER IS HEAVY – ENSURE THAT IT
IS SUPPORTED TO PREVENT IT FROM TOPPLING. Ask a
second person to help with this if necessary. Position castor
bracket (see Fig. 3) onto the threaded pins on the control panel.
Place the winged nut ‘C’ on the thread and tighten it securely.
Repeat the process for castor bracket ‘B’ onto the last n.
Note: The 5 n column heater models - OFRC10 & OFRC10TI
use curved castor brackets and must be tted as shown in Fig. 2.
Lift the heater clear of the oor, then turn it back upright and
stand it on its castors as shown in Fig. 1. It is now ready for use.
THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

Storage
If the heater is not required for long periods, for example during
the summer, it should be stored in a dry place and preferably
covered to prevent the accumulation of dirt and dust. The supply
cord should be neatly coiled around the cable wrap (see Fig. 1)
ensuring that the plug does not trail on the oor.
IMPORTANT
The heater must be kept plugged in at the mains to retain the
time and the programmed settings. If unplugged from the mains,
resetting the time and the programmed settings will be necessary.
Cleaning
WARNING - ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE CLEANING THE HEATER.
Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaning powder or polish of
any kind on the body of the heater.
Allow the heater to cool, then wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust
and a damp cloth (not wet) to clean off stains. Be careful not to allow
moisture in to the heater.

Community.
At the end of the electrical products useful life it should
not be disposed of with household waste. Please
recycle where facilities exist. Check with your Local

After Sales Service
Please see the separate Warranty leaet for details of your
Warantee & after sales service including contact details.
Should you require after sales service, please get in touch with
the supplier through whom you purchased the appliance, or the
contact number on your Warranty leaet.
Positioning the Heater
Select the position for the heater ensuring there is clearance from
any furniture and ttings of at least 300mm above the heater
and 150mm each side. The heater should only be operated on
a at stable surface.
Operation
IMPORTANT – Objects or clothing must not be placed on this
heater. Before using the heater ensure that all warnings and
instructions have been read carefully.
To bring the heater into use plug it in. Neon indicating lights
located at the controls area will glow when the appliance is
plugged into the mains.
Controls
Thermostat (see Fig. 4)
The Thermostat (see Fig. 4) controls the heat output according
to the room temperature. This ensures that the heater will not
produce heat unnecessarily when the room is warm. To set the
temperature you require, turn the thermostat knob clockwise
until the required setting is reached. Alternatively to heat a cold
room quickly, turn the thermostat knob up fully. When the room
has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob
anti-clockwise until the thermostat just clicks off. The heater
will now automatically operate at this temperature. With the
thermostat set to ‘ ‘ and the heat selection switch set to the
required heat output the appliance switches on automatically
when the temperature falls below +5°C to +8°C.
Note – Should the heater fail to come on when the thermostat is
at a low setting, this may be due to the room temperature being
higher than the thermostat setting.
Heat Selector Switches (see Fig. 5)
Selector switches located on the control panel provide a choice
of heat output to suit varying conditions and for economy of
operation.

Turbo fan (see Fig. 5)
The turbo fan is used to boost the heat output and also the
airow around the room. This circulates the heat and results in
a reduced heat up time and a more even heat distribution. The
turbo fan is controlled by the switch on the front of the product.
The turbo can be turned on independently of the heat.
Tilt Switch
The tilt switch will prevent the heater from working if it is
accidentally tipped over on its side.
If the heater is tipped over while it is hot, disconnect the power
and allow it to cool, then stand the heater back upright. Reconnect
the power - normal operation should be resumed.
