1. Remove wall mounting bracket from the back of the heater by depressing the spring latch
at the side of each bracket - see Fig.2.
2. Fix the wall bracket securely to the wall through the four screw holes. Ensure only screw
fittings provided are used for the particular wall type.
3. Present the heater to the wall bracket and engage bottom slots in the back with bracket hooks.
4. Press heater into locked position and ensure the clips on the top are engaged.

Child Lock
If you need to lock the controls so that the settings cannot be changed then activate the Child
Lock. To lock the controls press and hold both the Back button and Enter button together for
3 seconds. The Lock icon will appear on the screen. To unlock repeat the action by pressing
both the Back button and Enter for three seconds.
How does the heater control work?
The control allows you to choose when you want heat and at what temperature. When using
a timer mode (see below) will display on the home screen to tell you when the heater is
maintaining the temperature displayed. The current time will be displayed when the heater is
outside of a timed heating period.
When Manual, Schedule or Frost modes are being used the heater will always maintain
the temperature shown on the home screen.
Quick Start Guide
Set the Time
To set the date and time on the heater, press Menu, then press Up three times to highlight the
Date & time Icon, press Enter. Use the Down and Up to increase/decrease the hour, press
Enter to confirm. Repeat this process to set the minutes, Day, Month and Year. Press Enter to
confirm and return to home screen.
Set the Temperature
The temperature shown on the display is the target room temperature known as Setpoint.
This is the temperature that the heater will maintain during the heating periods. If the room
temperature is above this temperature then the heater will not operate. The heater leaves
the factory with this temperature set at 21oC which represents a typical comfortable room
temperature. If you require a dierent room temperature then press either Down or Up until the
display shows the temperature you require.
Your heater comes pre-programmed with four heating periods. These periods set the time
and temperature at which the heater operates in Comfort ON mode. These four periods are:
• P1: 07:00 – 09:00 21oC
• P2: 10:00 – 12:00 7oC
• P3: 13:00 – 15:00 7oC
• P4: 17:00 – 21:00 21oC

Instructions
Newlec Helpline: 0800 783 6909
The controls are located on the top of the heater. The heater is fitted with an adjustable electronic
controller consisting of a display screen and six touch sensitive buttons.
The heater is fitted with an adjustable thermostat enabling the room temperature to be
controlled. The minimum room temperature is 7oC. The maximum temperature is set to 26oC
by default, however, this can be increased to 32oC if required. A temperature of 21oC would be
comfortable for most people.
Note: Your heater may produce some noise during operation. This noise is caused by the
expansion and contraction of the element as it changes temperature, and is normal for this
type of product. Whilst the noise produced is usually very quiet, certain environmental factors
can make it more noticeable, such as hard flooring or minimal furnishings.
Note: Should the heater fail to operate, this may be due to the room temperature being higher
than the thermostat setting.
