Manual operat on
The most basic setting of the heater allows the user to control when the heater is active
by simply switching between on/off via the standby button. However, it is strongly
recommended to consider setting a timed operation by using the ‘automatic operation
mode’ where anticipated usage is predictable, to avoid energy wastage.
• Select the manual operation mode by pressing the manual/auto (M/A) select button.
To confirm the selection check that the “M” icon is displayed.
• The heater will maintain the temperature displayed unless switched off or placed
into standby mode.
Manual operat on (auto power off mode)
Whilst the heater is running in manual mode it is possible to control the length of time
the heater will operate for using a basic timer function. Using this you can select the
desired time for the heater to switch off. This feature helps to ensure the heater is not
turned on and forgotten about.

Automat c operat on (24/7 t mer)
Example below shows a timer programmed for TUESDAY to switch ON at 8.00am (08)
and OFF at 5.00pm (17). This is schedule number 1. See key for further information.
ey
1 Switch on hour
2 Switch off hour
3 Schedule number (1-4)
The automatic operation mode allows the heater to be operated by a user defined
schedule. This offers up to four separate periods of operation to be defined for each day.
This feature is strongly recommended where heat demand is predictable as it can help
reduce energy wastage. In addition, this allows spaces to be heated in anticipation of
the demand without the need for somebody to be present to turn it on; for example,
in an office environment where staff arrive to begin work at 8.30am, turning the heater
on at 8am to pre-warm the room.

• The time display will now move to the next schedule you can create (shown by area
‘3’ on the annotated image) and the previous steps for setting the switch on and off
hours should be followed.
• Up to 4 individual start stop times can be specified for each day but it is possible to
exit and store the schedules once the desired number of operations have been set,
simply press the O select button at any time to store and exit the scheduling feature.
• Repeat all steps for each day of the week where timed operation is required. The
default for each day and period of operation is off so it is not necessary to enter any
days that are not required.
When the heater is in a defined period of non-operation it will automatically go into
standby mode. It can be woken up in order to alter any settings by pressing the standby
on/off button but will go back into standby if no settings are changed within 10 seconds.
If you want to switch the heater on outside of the usual, programmed user set schedules
you will need to override the automatic operation mode. This can be done by pressing
the standby on/off button under the LED indicator to turn the heater on. You will then
need to select the manual operation mode by pressing the manual/auto (M/A) select
button. To confirm the selection check that the “M” icon is displayed. This is the most
9

basic method of operation and will mean the heater remains switched on, until it is
turned off. Please note, to return to programmed user set schedules you will need to
select the automatic operation mode by pressing the manual/auto (M/A) select button
prior to switching off. To confirm the selection check that the “A” icon is displayed.
Frost protect on
The heater has a built-in frost protection mode which will not allow the temperature of
its surroundings to drop below 50 C. This feature will operate regardless of any settings
that have been selected on the heater. The only way to prevent this feature operating is
to switch off the heater at the main switch (not standby).
4. Maintenance
The heater should be inspected and cleaned periodically, attention should be given
to the inlet grilles at the base of the unit and the outlet louvres at the front of the
heater. Ensure they are cleared of dust or other debris that may causes a blockage
and in turn reduce the airflow in and out of the heater, which if unchecked may lead
to the unit running at hotter temperatures.
• Ensure the heater is isolated from the power supply and has fully cooled down
before commencing any cleaning of the heater.
• Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to gently remove any debris from the inlet grilles
and outlet louvres.
• Use a non-abrasive, damp cloth with soapy water to clean the main body of the
heater. Take care not to use excessive amounts of water that could run into main
body of the heater.
Sooty deposits can adhere to the louvres of the heater and the surrounding surfaces
of the heater install. This can be caused by excess dust in and around the heater burning
off the heating element after prolonged periods of non-use. This does not indicate an
over-heat occurrence and the effects can be reduced with regular cleaning of the
heater.
