THE HEATER CARRIES THE WARNING SYMBOL INDICATING
THAT IT MUST NOT BE COVERED.
General
The radiator 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 firm, level base near to,
but not directly beneath, a suitable fixed socket outlet.
The heater is fitted with an adjustable thermostat enabling the room
temperature to be controlled accordingly. It is supplied with a cord and
plug ready for use.
Warning – The heater complies with stringent safety standards but to
ensure efficient operation SURFACES OF THE HEATER WILL BECOME
HOT AND CONTACT WITH THESE AREAS SHOULD BE AVOIDED,
particularly between the fins 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.
Electrical
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
If the socket outlets in your home are not of the 13 amp BS1363 type they
will not accept the plug connected to this heater, therefore cut off the
plug. When cut off this plug can constitute a shock hazard if inserted into
a socket outlet. It must therefore be disposed of safely.
Before wiring the appropriate plug please note that the wires in this
mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN/YELLOW : EARTH
BLUE : NEUTRAL
BROWN : LIVE
Connect the Green/Yellow wire to the terminal marked E or the earth
symbol or coloured Green or Green/Yellow.
Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured Red.
Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured Black. DO
NOT connect the Brown (Live) or the Blue (Neutral) wires to the Earth
terminal of your 13 amp plug. If the terminals of the plug are unmarked
or you are in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Positioning the Heater
Select the position for the radiator ensuring there is clearance from any
furniture and fittings of at least 450mm above the heater and 150mm
each side. The radiator should only be operated on a flat 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 use, insert the plug in the socket and switch to “On” (see Figs.3 & 4).
OFRB7 includes a neon indicator which illuminates when the appliance
is switched on.
Controls
Thermostat (see Fig.2)
The Thermostat (see Fig.2) 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. 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° to help protect against frost.
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.
Fan Heater (OFRB14) (see Fig.3)
To accelerate room heating, a fan heater can be switched on.
