General Care and Safety Guide

Assembling your Convector Heater
Main Body x 1 Screw Pack x 1
Feet x 2
Before using the heater, the feet (supplied separately in the carton), must be fitted
to the unit.
1. Carefully turn the Main Body upside-down on a scratch-free and stable surface. Be
careful to prevent damage to the cosmetic finish or your floor surfacing.
2. Attach the feet to the base of the heater by aligning the built-in position pins with
the position holes on the base of the heater and fixing a screw into the hole
between the two position holes. Use two screws for each foot.
WARNING: Heater must not be used without the feet fitted.
This appliance has been supplied with ‘1 way screws’ for permanent
installation of the feet. This is a safety requirement for the New Zealand and
Australian market.

WARNING:In order to avoid overheating or fire, do not cover the heater.
WARNING: Keep all objects at least 1 metre from the front, sides and rear
of the appliance.
WARNING: Do not use this heater with a programmer, separate timer,
remote-control system or any other device that switches the heater on
automatically, since a fire risk exists if the heater is covered or positioned
incorrectly.
WARNING:Never leave this heater unattended.
Ensure heater is on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.
Once the heater is in a safe operating position and all switches are in the off
position, insert the power plug into the mains outlet.
CAUTION: Ensure the power cord is not tight because if pulled it may
partially pull the plug from the socket. A partially inserted plug will overheat
the plug and socket and could result in fire.
Note: When the appliance 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 heating elements and should not occur again.
Operating your Convector Heater

Operating your Convector 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

HEATER CONTROL SWITCH
O OFF
I1250W
II 2000W
I1250W with Turbo Fan
II 2000W with Turbo Fan
Check that the heat control switch is set to Off position before plugging the appliance
into the mains supply.
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
wattage changes to create the greater/lesser heat output.
THERMOSTATIC CONTROL
1. Rotate thermostat knob clockwise until you reach
the maximum position.
2. When the room reaches a temperature that is
comfortable for you, slowly turn the knob anti-
clockwise until the heater just turns off (you will
hear a click).
3. The heater will now cycle on and off to maintain the
comfort level you have set.
4. Take note of this setting position for future use.
Note: When the thermostat activates you may see a small flash of light (may look like a
spark) from inside the heater. This is normal and there is no cause for concern.

Operating your Convector Heater
SAFETY DEVICES
This appliance has two protection devices:
•Tilt Switch - this will automatically turn the appliance off if the appliance is not in
the correct operating position.
•Resettable Thermal Link - this will automatically disconnect the power to the
appliance at a pre-set overheat temperature. After cooling down it will reset and
power on again. If this occurs, investigate what is causing the appliance to
overheat.
•Thermal Fuse - this disconnects the appliance permanently in case of overheating.
(It is non resettable).
CAUTION: The heater generates heat during use. Proper precautions
must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, scalds, fires or other damage to
persons.
CARE AND CLEANING
•The heater requires regular cleaning to ensure trouble free operation:

dirt.
