Supply: 220-240VAC 50Hz
Wattage: 1500W

WARNING Keep all objects at least 1 metre
from the front, sides and rear of the appliance.
HEAT CONTROL SWITCH
The control switch positions are:
0 = OFF
= Fan
I = Low Heat (750W)
II = High Heat (1500W)
Check that the heat control switch is set to the Off
position before plugging the heater into the mains
supply. For greater economy, use the High Heat
setting initially and then switch to the Low Heat
setting.
For the Low (I) and High (II) heat settings the fan
speed remains the same; only the heating block
changes to create the greater/lesser heat output.
THERMOSTAT
Turn the thermostat knob clockwise until you reach
the maximum temperature on the graduated scale.
When the desired room temperature is reached,
slowly turn the knob anti-clockwise until the heater
turns off (you will hear a click). The heater will now
cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.
SAFETY DEVICE
This appliance has three protection devices:
The first device will automatically turn the
appliance off if the appliance is not in the
appropriate operating position.
The second device automatically disconnects &
reconnects the appliance at a pre-set temperature.
The third device disconnects the appliance in case
of overheating. In the case of accidental
overheating (eg. obstruction of air intake and outlet
grills, motor turning slowly or not at all), reset by
disconnecting the plug from the power for a few
minutes. Remove the cause of overheating then
plug the appliance in again.
