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 radiator is fitted a handle for ease of movement. An adjustable
thermostat enables the room temperature to be controlled accordingly. It
is supplied with a cord and plug ready for use.
DO NOT pull the radiator along by the mains lead.
Important - The radiator must only be operated floor standing in an
upright position as shown in Fig. 1.
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.
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
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.
Controls
On/Off Neon Switch (see Fig.3)
To bring the heater into use plug it in. Press the On/Off switch to position
I, the rocker has a built in Neon indicating light which will glow when the
appliance is On. To turn Off press the rocker switch back to position 0.
Thermostat (see Fig. 2)
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 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. With the
thermostat set to ‘ ‘ and the heat selection switch set to the required
heat output the appliance switches on automatically when the temperature
falls below +5°C to +8°C.
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.
Tilt Switch
The tilt switch will prevent the heater from working if it is accidentally
tipped over on its side.
If the heater 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.
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. The supply cord should be
neatly coiled away ensuring that the plug does not trail on the floor.
Cleaning
WARNING - ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLYBEFORE
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.
