on the brackets. The necessary feet and wall brackets are
provided. The heater should only be operated when in the upright
position as shown in Fig.1.
Fitting Feet
Positioning the heater
When using the product free standing always ensure that the
heater is stood on a firm, level base near to, but not directly
beneath, a suitable mains supply socket, ensuring at least
300mm clearance from any shelf above.
Ensure that curtains and furniture are not positioned close to the
chosen position, as this would create a potential fire hazard.

Lay the heater on its back, (If wall brackets attached, remove),
locate the foot fixing screw (see ‘a’ in Fig. 2). Remove the screw
using an X–head screwdriver, then align foot over slots and holes
in base and slide home. Finally take the foot fixing screw, insert
and tighten using a screwdriver to secure the foot.
Wall mounting
IMPORTANT - The wall brackets supplied with the heater must
be used.
If the wall brackets have been removed from the heater they
should be reattached to the appliance by following the sequence.
Hook the wall bracket into the outlet grill of the appliance (see
Fig.3 below), then rotate the bracket underneath and fix with
screws provided (see Fig.4 below).
Note: Care should be taken to ensure the correct grill location is
chosen so that the screw holes in the base of the appliance line
upcorrecty.
The heater should be positioned observing the minimum
clearances-see Fig.1 and in accordance with the safety warnings.
To wall mount appliance, first select a suitable position on the
wall, near to a mains power socket, making sure thet there is at
least 200mm below the heater and at least 300mm above the
heater of unobstructed space. See also “Positioning the heater”.
A drilling template is supplied with the product to assist with wall
mounting. Position the drilling template provided on the wall
ensuring that it is level, then follow steps 1 to 4 below.
(1) - Mark the position of the relevant holes as identified on the
template. Before drilling check that the distance between hole
centres is correct, see Fig.5 below.

(2) - Drill the wall at the 4 relevant marked positions. Once the
required holes have been drilled remove the template from the
wall.
(3) - Fix the 2 top screws to the wall (using suitable fixings)
leaving a slight gap to allow the brackets to slide over the top
screws.
(4) - Hang the appliance on the top screws and then fix the bottom
screws. (see Fig.6 below). Test that the heater is now securely
fixed to the wall.
Using the heater
Plug in and switch on at the wall socket.
On standard models with a neon, the red POWER ON neon will
light when the heater is connected to the power supply.
On timer models the timer clock will operate all the time that the
heater is connected to the mains supply.
On model DXLAT75w there is an On /Off switch – operation as
follows:
O- Off
I- On (750W)
On model DXLAT150w the heat selector switch positions are as
follows:
O- Off
I- Low Heat (750W)
II - High Heat (1500W)
Model DXLAT150Tiw is controlled by a Digital Timer – see ‘Digital
Timer Operation’
The heat output is controlled by the thermostat - see ‘Thermostat’
Please note – the element has been coated with a protective film
which will burn off during the first 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 first time.
Controls
Thermostat - see Fig. 7
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, turn the thermostat knob clockwise until the desired
temperature 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.
The thermostat also has a frost 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.
Digital Timer Operation - see Fig. 8
IMPORTANT: Remember to observe all safety warnings when
operating the heater on auto setting, either attended or
unattended.
The timer allows you to select ‘AUTO’ or ‘MAN ON’ by pressing
the ‘MODE’ button until the required MODE appears at the bottom
of the timer display.
‘AUTO’ MODE allows the heater to switch ON and OFF according
to a set 24 Hour program period (see ‘Setting Programs’ section
below).
‘MAN ON’ MODE allows power to the heater uninterrupted by the
program settings.

or if the heater is disconnected from the mains for less than six
months, then the timer will continue to keep time & the settings in
the memory will remain intact.
Safety – overheat protection
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a thermal cut-out. In
the event that the product overheats for some reason, the cut-out
prevents excessive temperatures on the product by cutting the
power to the heater. Once the heater has cooled down, it will
resetautomatically, it will continue to cycle on and offautomatically
until the reason for overheating has been removed.
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, either stand the
heater on a suitable base to shield the carpet – 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 airflow 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.

The product complies with the European Safety Standards EN60335-2-30 and the European Standard Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
EN55014, EN60555-2 and EN60555-3. These cover the essential requirements of EEC Directives 2006/95/EC and 2004/108/EC
