brackets centrally over these centres and mark the hole positions
- see Fig. 3.
Step3
Drill the holes and fit the wall plugs.
Step 4
Screw the bottom brackets in position - see Fig. 3.
Step 5
Position the radiator on the bottom brackets, locating it on the

Operation
When you have completed the installation, plug in and switch on
the mains supply.
The mains neon indicator light will glow showing that power is
available - see ‘A’ in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8.
When the radiator is not in use, switch off the power supply and
pull the plug out from the socket.
Thermostat (see ‘B’ in Fig. 7 & 8)
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.
Timer Operation (see ‘C’ in Fig. 8)
(OFX075TI/100TI/150TI Models)
Switch the heater on by putting switch ‘D’ (see Fig. 8) to position
‘’. The mains neon indicator ‘A’ (see Fig. 8) will glow showing
that power is available.
Setting the time of day
To set the time of day, rotate the timer dial clockwise (indicated
bythe arrow) until thecorrect time of dayis opposite the reference
mark (see Fig. 9). The 24-hour clock is used ; e.g. time shown
for 4 pm is ‘16’ (16:00hrs).
Setting the ON and OFF times
To set the timer :
1. Using your finger tip or the tip of a pencil, push in as many
segments as necessary around the dial, according to the
times you require heat – see Fig. 9. Each segment pushed in
switches the heater ON for that part of the hour. All other
segments will be OFF. For example, Fig. 10 shows the timer
set to switch the heater ON between 7.00am and 9.00pm and
between 4.00pm and 9.30pm.
2. You can select as many ON periods as you like, within the 24-
hour day. The settings will repeat every day until changed.
3. To change ON and OFF times, simply pull out any ‘ON’
segments you wish to cancel and push in new ‘ON’ segments
as required.
Please note that the appliance must be connected to the mains
supply (neon indicator ‘A’ On) for the timer to continue running. If
switched Off it will be neccessary to reset the time of day when
next used.
IMPORTANTNOTES
Remember to observe all safety warnings when operating the
heater on auto setting unattended or attended .
If the mains supply to the heater is interrupted, the timer clock
will stop until power is restored ; reset the time of day to ensure
correct ON and OFF times.
Safety – Overheat Protection - all models
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a thermal cut-out. In
the event that the product overheats, the cut-out switches the
heater off automatically. To bring the heater back into operation,
