Setting the Comfort Temperature (C)
Use the thermostat dial (C) to select your desired room temperature. The
markings on the dial are in approximately 3.5ºC increments. The settings are
(Frost Protection) and numbers 1-10 (MAX). The quickest way to find your comfort
setting is to turn the thermostat dial to the maximum setting. When your ideal
comfort level is achieved, turn the thermostat dial down until the thermostat
switches off (the neon light will go out) Leave at this setting and the heater will
automatically maintain the desired temperature.
Advice on Using your Heater
•For greatest economy switch the heater to economy (setback) if you
leave the room for long periods of time or before going to bed.
•Do not set the comfort level too high. Even small reductions on the
thermostat setting can save a lot of energy.
•If you go away for a long period of time select the frost protection setting
on the function dial or reduce the thermostat setting to a lower level.
Locking the Thermostat Setting (C)
If necessary you can lock the thermostat dial to a single setting or range.
To lock the settings, use a small pair of narrow nosed pliers to pull out the
locking pins at the rear of the thermostat dial.
The following settings can be obtained: (see Fig.4)
•Single setting – Set thermostat dial to desired setting (eg no.6). Locate
one pin directly opposite the setting required
•Minimum setting – Set thermostat dial to desired setting (e.g. no.6).
Locate one pin opposite the setting required and one hole to the left.
(The thermostat will now be adjustable from 6-9 only)
•Maximum setting – Set thermostat dial to desired setting (eg
no.6).Locate one pin opposite the setting required and one hole to the
right. (The thermostat dial will now be adjustable from 1-6 only)
•Minimum - maximum setting – (e.g. no.2-4) Locate both pins and
space apart until desired range is found
To Lock the Control Cover (F)
A screw is provided to permanently lock the cover in position. It is located on
the back of the control box, under the thermostat dial. Remove this and
screw through the notch below the lifting tab into the plastic housing. (see
also Fig.4 above)
Safety
A thermal cut-out will switch off the heater if, for any reason, it overheats.
Should the cut-out operate, switch off the mains supply and allow the heater
to cool. Once the heater has cooled sufficiently remove the obstruction and
switch on the mains supply.
Cleaning
Before cleaning your heater, switch off the heater and allow it to cool.
Disconnect the electricity supply to the appliance. The outside can be
cleaned by wiping it over with a soft damp cloth and then dried. Do not use
abrasive cleaning powders or furniture polish, as this can damage the
surface finish. To release the heater from the wall bracket for cleaning or
redecoration, depress latch on both brackets and hinge forward.
