General
The radiator is designed for operation on an AC electricity supply, and is
suitable for use in domestic dwellings and similar indoor locations. The radiator
is tted with castors and a handle for ease of movement. The electronic
control provides a choice of heat settings and enables the room temperature
to be controlled accordingly. It is supplied with a cord and plug ready for use.
The supply cord should be uncoiled before use (see ‘Storage’).
DO NOT pull the radiator along by the mains lead.
Important - The radiator must only be operated with the wheels and castors
tted and in the upright position as shown in Fig. 1.
Warning – The heater complies with stringent safety standards but to ensure
efcient operation SURFACES OF THE HEATER WILL BECOME HOT
AND CONTACT WITH THESE AREAS SHOULD BE AVOIDED, particularly
between the ns 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
Fitting the castors
Remove the carton containing the castor assemblies from the packing.
Fit the castors to the stub axles by applying hand pressure until each castor
clicks into position (Fig. 3). Note that the castors are designed to be a tight
t on the axles but will rotate in use.
The castors can only be tted between the outer ns as shown in Fig. 2.
Turn the radiator upside down on a carpet or other soft surface to avoid
damage

Controls
Electronic Climate Control
Operation
The electronic control allows MANUAL and AUTO operation.
In MANUAL ON mode there are three heat settings:
Eco (Fig.5), Mid (Fig.6) and Full Heat (Fig.7)
In AUTO mode the heater comes on as per the programmed timer settings
(see Setting programs). At any point if the heater is active i.e. heat is being
produced, the ‘ ’ neon is lit (Fig. 1).
Initial Operation
When the heater is connected to the mains the ‘Power’ neon will be lit and
the display is blank. Press the ‘ ’ button and the display goes to full heat
set to 35oC (Fig. 7).
Note: All display characters are displayed in Fig. 12.
Standby Mode
With the heater ON if the ‘ ’ button is pressed, the heater will go into standby
mode, heater switches off, the display goes blank and only the power on
neon ‘ ’ remains lit. On pressing the ‘ ’ button again the heater will come
on in the mode and with the settings it had prior to going into standby mode.
Setting Time
To set the time press and hold ‘P’ for two seconds and the ‘ ’ appears with
the digits ashing (Fig. 8).
1. Press the ‘ ’ or ‘ ’ to set the hour and press ENTER.
2. Press the ‘ ’ or ‘ ’ to set the minutes.
3. Press ENTER. The display will return to the state prior to entering
set time.
N.B. If no keys are pressed after 4 minutes the display will revert to the state
prior to entering set time.
Manual Operation
Pressing ‘ ’ from the default HIGH screen (Fig. 7) brings the heater into
AUTO mode - see ‘Setting the Timer Programs’. Press again to put the heater
into OFF mode, Fig. 4. Press again for Economy setting ( appears on
LCD display, Fig. 5). Press again for Mid heat setting ( appears on LCD
display, Fig. 6). Press again brings the user full circle to FULL heat mode (
appears on LCD display, Fig. 7).
Setting the Desired Temperature
The desired temperature can be set using the ‘ ’ or ‘ ’keys. The
temperature can be set from 5oC to 35oC and this will be shown on the display.
When the temperature is reached the heater will automatically switch OFF. If
the ambient temperature drops the heater will come on again automatically.
Note the electronic climate control device conserves energy and assists
with temperature regulation e.g. if the heater is set to HIGH heat and the
temperature is set to 28oC, at 27oC the heater will switch to a lower heat
setting. Then at 28oC the heater will switch off completely.
Setting the Timer Programs
Two program settings are possible, P1 and P2. Only HIGH heat is possible
for program settings. Press ‘ ’, P1 AUTO ON and a time will ash - see Fig.
9. The rst P1 ON time can now be set:
1. Use the ‘ ’ or ‘ ’ buttons to set the hours and press enter.
2. Use the ‘ ’ or ‘ ’ buttons to set the minutes.
3. Press ‘ ’.
Now P1 AUTO off is displayed, P1 OFF time can now be set:
4. Use the ‘ ’ or ‘ ’ button to set the off time as shown above.
At this point either :
(a) press ‘ ’ to exit the Program mode and return to AUTO mode. The
heater is now in AUTO mode. The heater will switch ON and OFF
depending on programme P1 previously entered.
OR
(b) press ENTER to set the ON and OFF times for program 2, as in
steps 1 to 3 above.
At this point press ENTER or PROG to exit the Programme mode. The heater
is now in AUTO mode. The heater will switch ON and OFF depending on
programme P1 & P2 previously entered. If after programming and returning
to the AUTO mode display, P1 or P2 is active, the display will show PROG
1 AUTO ON or PROG 2 AUTO ON depending on which is active - see Fig.
10. An OFF time cannot be entered which is less than the corresponding ON
time. When setting the timer programs if no keys are pressed, the display will
(after 4 minutes) revert to the previous display i.e. display prior to entering
Program mode.
Run Programs
If MODE is pressed until AUTO appears on the screen (either AUTO-ON or
AUTO-OFF), the heater will run both P1 and P2 program as they are set.
NOTE: The heater cannot be programmed to run P1 only or P2 only.
To cancel P1, set P1 OFF time to be same as P1 ON time. To cancel P2 set
P2 OFF time to be same as P2 ON time.
Review Program settings
To review the program settings the heater must be in AUTO mode. Press
ENTER and the times for PROG 1 ON, PROG 1 OFF, PROG 2 ON and
PROG 2 OFF will be displayed consecutively for 2 seconds. The display
will automatically return to the state it was in before ENTER was pressed.
FROST Protection Mode
With the heater in any mode, OFF, MANUAL ON or AUTO, if the displayed
set temperature is reduced to 5oC the heater will go into FROST Protection
mode - see Fig. 11. In this mode only, if the ambient temperature drops
below 5oC, will the heater come on. This is to prevent freezing. In FROST
Protection mode the heater comes on in the high heat mode only. Pressing
the ‘ ’ button is the only way to bring the heater out of this special mode.
Remote Control Operation - Fig. 2
The batteries for the remote control are not installed in the remote but are
packed separately in the carton. To install batteries please follow diagrams
behind battery cover on the remote control.
The remote allows the set temperature to be adjusted, the mode to be selected
or can be used to put the heater in FROST Protection mode.
Full Heat output can only be achieved when using the remote control i.e.
both Left hand and Right hand panels are on.
Press the ‘ ’ button on the Remote Control to go from OFF, Man On High
and back to OFF again. Press the ‘ ’ or ‘ ’ buttons on the remote to set
desired temperature between 5oC and 35oC. Press the ‘’ button to put the
heater into FROST Protection mode. Pressing the ‘ ’ button (on the Remote
Control) is the only way (using the Remote Control) to bring the heater out
of this mode i.e. pressing the ‘ ’ or ‘ ’ buttons on the remote will have no
effect on the heater.
Discard leaking batteries
Dispose of batteries in the proper manner according to Provincial and local
regulations. Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery
type, if inserted incorrectly, if all the batteries are not replaced at the same
time, if disposed of in a re or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not
intended to be recharged.
Turbo fan(OFRCxxCCTFN models only)
The turbo fan is used to boost the heat output and also the airow around
the room. This circulates the heat and results in a reduced heat up time and
a more even heat distribution. The turbo fan is controlled by the switch on
the front of the product, Fig. 1.
The turbo can be turned on independently of the heat.
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 around
the cable wrap (see Fig. 1) ensuring that the plug does not trail on the oor.
IMPORTANT
The heater must be kept plugged in at the mains to retain the time and the
programmed settings. If unplugged from the mains, resetting the time and
the programmed settings will be necessary.
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.
