Thermostat (model EC533)
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.
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°C to help protect
against frosty conditions.
Cleaning and User Maintenance
WARNING – ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM 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
into the heater.

Safety – overheat protection
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, remove the cause of the
overheating, then unplug or turn off the electrical supply to the heater
for a few minutes.
When the heater has cooled sufficiently, re-connect and switch on the
heater.
Important Notes
Although this heater is manufactured to comply with the relevant safety
standards, certain types of carpets could become discoloured by the
temperatures under a portable heater. If you are concerned about this,
we recommend that you contact the carpet manufacturer for guidance.
Alternatively, either stand the heater on a suitable base to shield the carpet
or wall-mount it – call our Helpline for further advice.
You may notice some parts of the element appearing to glow hotter or
redder from time to time because of the variable airflow through the heater.
This does not cause a safety hazard.
The heat outlet grille may become discoloured with use – this is caused
by airborne pollution and is not a fault.

On model EC532 - the switch is a 2 position switch with two possible
heat settings as follows;
I-The heater operates at half heat output.
