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.
Storage
If the radiator 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.
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.

munity.

not be disposed of with household waste. Please
recycle where facilities exist. Check with your Local
