Operating your Ceramic Heater
Always choose a safe location for the heater, keeping in mind the safety
precautions outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the unit
before use. This appliance requires no installation, it should be used solely
as a portable appliance.
OSCILLATE
The OSC button (or “Swing” button if using the
remote) turns the heater oscillation function on and
off.
TIMER
Press the Timer button to set and adjust the length of
time from 0 –8 hours that you would like the heater
to run for before turning off. Each time you press the
Timer button it will adjust the length of time in 1 hour
increments.
The selected number of hours will set after 5 seconds
and will display on the LED screen. To turn off the
Timer setting function, set the Timer back to 0hours.
REMOTE
The remote control buttons perform the same
functions as those on the control panel of the unit.
For best results, aim the remote directly at the remote
sensor on the front panel of the heater. The remote
has a 3 metre range of operation.
The remote control requires two “AAA" type batteries
(not included).
THERMOSTAT
Press the “+” and “-”buttons (featured on the remote
only) to adjust the temperature to your desired setting
(from 10-49°C). Once you have set the desired
temperature, the LED will display the room
temperature again and will rise as the room
temperature increases.
The heater will now cycle on and off to maintain the
set temperature.
Please note: The fan will continue to run. This is
normal.
WARNING Keep all objects at least 1 metre from
the front, sides and rear of the appliance.
Note: When the heater is turned on for the first time, it
may release a slight, odour or smoke. This odour or
smoke is a normal occurrence caused by the initial
heating of the internal heating elements and should
not occur again.
HEAT CONTROL SWITCH

heater is set to the Off position before plugging the
heater in and turning on the mains supply.
Turn the Power Switch at the back of the heater to
the “I” position. You will hear abeep.
Press the On/Off button on the control panel to turn
the heater on. The LED will display the current room
temperature and begin to operate on Low Heat.
Press the Power button (or “Mode” button if using the
remote) and the heater will change to operate in High
Heat Mode.
Press the Power button (or “Mode” button if using the
remote) a second time and the unit will go into Fan
Only mode and blow out room temperature air (the
heating element will be off).
To turn the unit off, press the On/Off button on the
control panel again. Please note: the fan will continue
to run for 30-60 seconds to cool the elements. This is
normal.
Then turn the Power Switch at the back of the heater
to “O” position.
For greater economy, use the High Heat setting
initially and then switch to the Low Heat setting.
For the Low and High Heat settings the fan remains
at the same speed; only the element adjusts to create
the greater/lesser heat output.
