Electrical Connection
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED
This heater must be used on an A.C. ~ supply
only and the voltage marked on the heater must
correspond to the supply voltage.
The use of an extension lead or multi-plug adaptor
is not advised when connecting this product to the
mains. Connection through these devices could lead
to a risk of overloading, overheating and even re
at the extension lead or adaptor due to inadequate
connection quality.
Using the heater
WARNING: DO NOT USE THE HEATER UNTIL
THE FEET ARE FITTED CORRECTLY.
The product can be used as an installed or portable
unit. Once the desired application has been decided
upon and the requirements below have been met
the product is ready to be used. Simply plug in and
switch on at the wall socket.
Please note – the element has been coated with a
protective lm which will burn off during the rst few
minutes of use and may cause a small amount of
fuming. This is quite normal – the fumes are non-
toxic and will quickly disappear.
We recommend that you open a window to ventilate
the room when using the heater for the rst time.
Positioning the heater
Always ensure that the heater is stood on a rm,
level base near to, but not directly beneath, a suitable
mains supply socket.
Ensure that curtains and furniture are not positioned
close to the chosen position, as this would create a
potential re hazard.
WARNING: THE HEATER SHOULD NEVER BE
USED AS A PORTABLE APPLIANCE WITHOUT
THE FEET SECURELY FITTED.
Lay the heater on its back, locate and remove the
foot xing screw - see Fig. 2(a). Clip the foot in place
and secure using the foot xing screw - see Fig. 2(b).
Controls
NOTE: When using the appliance or setting
appliance controls always ensure that the
heaterisstoodonarmlevelbase.Donottilt
the appliance at any time.
Indicator Neon (selected models)
The indicator neon comes on when the appliance is
connected to mains supply.
Thermostat (all models)
The thermostat 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, Gradually turn
the thermostat knob clockwise until the desired
temperature is reached. Allow some time between
increments for the room temperature to stabilise.
Alternatively to heat a cold room quickly, turn the
thermostat knob to the Max position. When the
room has reached the desired temperature, turn the
thermostat knob anti-clockwise until the thermostat
clicks off. The heater will then automatically maintain
this room temperature.
The thermostat also has a frost protection setting
marked ‘ ’. This setting is useful in areas such as
garages to prevent frost damage. If the thermostat is
set to its minimum setting ‘ ’, the heater will cycle ON
and OFF to maintain a temperature of approximately
5°C to help protect against frosty conditions.
Switches (selected models)
Selected models are supplied with selector switches
. There are two switch types, one is an on/off switch
and the other is a heat selection switch. Depending
on model either one or both switch may be included.
The switch operation is as follows.
On/Off: O- Off
I- On
Heat selection I- Low heat
II - High heat

DESC2TN

Turbo fan(selected models)
The turbo fan is used
to boost the airflow
around the room. This
circulates the heat
better and results in a
reduced heat up time
and a more even heat
distribution. The turbo
fan is controlled by the
neon switch on the front
of the product.
The turbo can be turned
on independently of the
heat, however the fan
will switch on and off
under the control of the
thermostat.
Note: On selected models in warm weather the fan
can be used to circulate cool air. Once the heat
selection switches are in the off position and the
thermostat is set to ‘Max’ the fan will continue to
function to circulate cool air.
Safety – overheat protection
For your safety, this appliance is tted with a thermal
cut-out. In the event that the product overheats, the
cut-out switches the heater off automatically.
To bring the heater back into operation, remove the
cause of the overheating, then unplug or turn off
the electrical supply to the heater for a few minutes.
When the heater has cooled sufciently, re-connect
and switch on the heater.
Important Notes
Although this heater is manufactured to comply with
the relevant safety standards, certain types of carpets
could become discoloured by the temperatures
under a portable heater. If you are concerned about
this, we recommend that you contact the carpet
manufacturer for guidance. Alternatively, stand the
heater on a suitable base to shield the carpet or
wall-mount it – call our Helpline for further advice.
You may notice some parts of the element appearing
to be hotter from time to time because of the variable
airow through the heater. This does not cause a
safety hazard.
The heat outlet grille may become discoloured with
use – this is caused by airborne pollution and is not
a fault.
Recycling
Do not dispose of electrical appliances as
unsorted municipal waste. Use separate
collection facilities. Contact your local
government for information regarding the
collection systems available. If electrical
appliances are disposed of in landlls or dumps,
hazardous substances can leak into the ground
water, polluting the food chain and damaging health
and well-being.
Cleaning
WARNING – ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM
THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING
THE HEATER.
Before commencing cleaning, switch off the heater
and allow it to cool. Disconnect the electricity
supply to the appliance.
The outside can be cleaned by wiping it over
with a soft damp cloth and then dried. Do not use
abrasive cleaning powders or furniture polish, as
this can damage the surface nish.
