Electrical safety and cord handling
• Connect the appliance to a single-phase AC supply of the voltage specied on the rating
plate; the socket must stand a minimum 10A load, use a safe socket with an earthed
connection.
• Always plug this heater into a separate power point. Do not use it with an extension cord
as this may overheat and cause a risk of re.
• Do not place the heater immediately below an electrical outlet.
• To ensure you do not overload the electrical circuit, make sure that no other appliance is
in use on the same electrical circuit as the heater.
• Protect the heater from moisture. Never touch the heater with wet or damp hands or
feet. Never expose it to water (including rain) or other liquids. Never use the heater in the
immediate surroundings of a bath, shower or swimming pool, or anywhere it may fall into
a bathtub or any other water container.
• Always place the heater in an upright position and on a stable surface.
• Do not operate the heater with a damaged cord or plug, or after the heater malfunctions,
has been dropped, or damaged in any manner.

or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard. In case of damage, contact the
after sales support line for advice on return or repair.
• Protect the power cord. Do not put it on top of the heater, or expose it to hot surfaces.
Do not put any stress on the power cord where it connects to the product, as the power
cord could fray and break.
• Do not run the cord under carpeting or cover it with throw rugs, runners etc. Arrange the
cord away from trac areas and where it will not be tripped over.

Getting Started
Before First Use
• Thank you for purchasing our oil lled heater. Each unit has been manufactured to
ensure safety and reliability. Please read the instructions carefully and keep them for
future reference.
• Unpack the appliance but keep all packaging materials until you have made sure
your new heater is undamaged and in good working order. Plastic wrapping can be a
suocation hazard for babies and young children, so ensure all packaging materials are
out of their reach.
• Inspect the power cord and plug for damage. Do not use the heater if the appliance or
its cord have been damaged or are not working properly. In such case, contact the after
sales support line for advice.

The heater is packaged with the feet (castor wheels) unattached. You must attach them
before using or turning on the heater.
1. Remove the heater and all accessories from carton.
2. Place the heater body upside down on a scratch-free surface, make sure it is stable and
will not fall.
3. Screw o the wing nuts from the U-shaped bolt provided. Attach the U-shaped bolt to
the U-facing ange between the rst and second ns (near the front cover).

Operations
Using The Heater
NOTE: The heater is packaged with castor wheels unattached. You must attach them before
using the heater, see opposite for instructions.
1. Choosing a safe location
• Always place the heater on a at and stable surface. Using it on an uneven or sloping
surface may cause damage to the heater.
• Make sure you have read all safety instructions on pages 3 to 4, which will help you
choose a safe location for your new heater.
2. Switching on
• Set the power setting switch to the OFF (0) position.
• Set the thermostat knob to LOW (the thin end of the circle).
• Then insert the plug into a well earthed wall socket.
3. Selecting a heat setting
• Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise to HIGH (the thick end of the circle).
• Switch the heater to desired heat setting:
Switch (I) for 800W, Switch (II) for 1200W, Switch (I) & (II) for 2000W
• The power light indicator will light up.
4. Setting the thermostat
When your room has reached the desired temperature:
• Slowly rotate the thermostat knob counterclockwise until the pilot light goes out. The
thermostat can now be left at this setting.
• As soon as the room temperature drops below the set temperature, the unit will
switch itself on automatically until the set temperature has been reached again. This
way the room temperature remains consistent with the most economical use of
electricity.
5. Changing the temperature
If you want to change the room temperature setting:
• Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise to raise the temperature or counterclockwise
to lower it.
6. Switching o
Once you have nished using your heater:
• Turn the heat settings switch to the OFF (0) position.
• Turn the thermostat knob to LOW (the thin circle shape).
• Then unplug the heater from the mains supply outlet.

Operations (Cont.)
7. Setting the timer
The heater features a timer you can set to start the heater, or switch it o, automatically at
a certain, pre-set time. The timer has a small switch. If this switch is set to [ I ], the heater is
always on, set to [ ], the timer function is on.
NOTE: To set the current time on the timer, always turn the timer clockwise.
Do not turn it counterclockwise!
h) First of all, you must activate the timer: set the small switch to [ ].
i) Turn the timer clockwise until the arrow points on the current time. Then set the on/
o time by pushing the appropriate pins outward or inwards. Each of the 96 small
plastic pins on the timer corresponds to a 15 minute interval. Push outward the pins
corresponding to the time you want the heater to turn ON. Push inward the pins
corresponding to the time you want the heater to turn OFF.
NOTE: Make sure you have selected a heat and temperature setting (see
page 8) prior to setting the timer. This will ensure the heater cycles
on and o to maintain the set temperature.

10
CAUTION!
• Do not use the timer function unattended.
• The heater will not operate if the timer is set to the position and the pins are not
activated according to the times required.
• If the heater loses its electricity supply, e.g. is switched o at the mains socket or in the
event of a power failure, the timer should be reset after the power comes on again.
Safety Features
This heater includes two safety features to prevent an accidental re should the heater
overheat or be tipped over.
• An overheat protection system shuts o the heater when parts of the heater are getting
excessively hot.
• A built-in tip over switch shuts o the heater automatically when it is accidently tipped
forward or backward. When the heater returns to the normal upright position, it will
resume normal operation.
