•Before plugging in and using your new Goldair panel heater, check all surfaces to
ensure the heater is not damaged in any way.
•Check that the On/Off switch is set to the Off position before plugging the heater
into the mains supply.
•Use the On/Off switch along the side of the heater to turn your heater on.
TIMER
•You must set the time prior to programming the Timer.To do this; turn the outer
dial of the timer in a clockwise direction until the time of the day (24-hour clock)
corresponds with the triangular marking. Example if it is 2pm (1400 hours) then
set the triangular mark in line with 14. One complete turn of the dial corresponds
to 24 hours.
•There are 96 “riders”, positioned around the dial, each rider represents 15
minutes.
•Where all the “riders” are pushed to the outside of the timer the appliance will be
ON continuously.
•To set a specific time for example:
•If you want the appliance to be on from 6pm to 10pm, then set all the riders from
18 to 22 (1800 hours to 2200 hours) to the outside of the rim and all other riders
to the inside of the timer. The unit will then turn on automatically at 6pm and off
again at 10pm.
