Assembly

Operating Your 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. Please
follow the below instructions.
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 when in use.
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 and switch on.
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 internal heating elements and should not occur
again.

HEAT CONTROL SWITCHES
“750W” -Low heat
“1250W” - Medium heat
“2000W” - High Heat (750W & 1250W switches together)
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.
FAN FUNCTION
In addition to the three heat settings, there is a fan with a separate On/Off switch
located underneath the fan grill on the front of the heater. The Fan function is for
distributing heat into the room at a faster rate.
FAN ON/OFF
SWITCH

TIMER
The appliance will always be on when the slide switch is in the “I” position.
The appliance will always be off when the slide switch is in the “O” position.
To set the Timer;set the MODE switch to the Timer position.
(This function can only be used once a heat level has been selected ; see thermostat
section).
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.
