Operation
Note: Before plugging in for use, ensure the thermostat is set anti-clockwise to the
MIN setting, and the heater switch is set to OFF.
1. Rotate the thermostat completely clockwise, until it reaches the MAX position.
2. To turn on the heating function, set the controls to your desired heat setting,
either LOW HEAT or HIGH HEAT. An indicator light will illuminate, showing that
the heater is on.
3. When your room reaches the desired temperature, slowly rotate the
THERMOSTAT anti-clockwise until you hear a click. The THERMOSTAT can now
be left at this setting. As soon as the room temperature has dropped below
the set temperature , the unit will switch itself on automatically until the set
temperature has been reached again. This allows the room temperature to remain
constant and perform economically.
4. To change the room temperature setting, rotate the thermostat clockwise to raise
the temperature, and anti-clockwise to lower it.
5. To switch the heater off, set the THERMOSTAT to MIN and the control to OFF.
Then switch the power off at the mains and remove the plug from the outlet.

Positioning
Select the position for the heater ensuring there is clearance from any furniture and
fittings of at least 300mm each side. The heater should only be operated on a flat
stable surface.
NOTE: The Panel heater is designed for operation on an AC electricity supply, and is
only suitable for domestic use and similar indoor locations.
Tips
• The Panel heater is fitted with castors and handles for ease of movement.
• A power switch provides the ability to choose an available heat output and
an adjustable thermostat enables the room temperature to be controlled
accordingly.
• Once the castors have been correctly fitted, no other assembly is required, just
plug in and play!
Safety Features
This appliance incorporates a number of safety devices. In addition to the ‘Important
Safety Advice’ section your attention is drawn to the following;
Tilt Switch
The tilt switch will prevent the heater from working if it is accidentally tipped over on
its side.
If the radiator is tipped over while it is hot, disconnect the power and allow it to cool,
then stand the radiator back upright. Reconnect the power - normal operation should
be resumed.

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 panel heater.
• Allow the panel heater to cool, then wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust and
a damp cloth (not wet) to clean off any marks. Be careful not to allow moisture
into to the heater.
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 ensuring that
the plug does not trail on the floor.
