Operating Instructions
Preparation
Remove the screw that is used to secure the cover (1)
to the control panel in an anti-clockwise direction.
Switching on the Unit
The unit may be switched on (setting I) or off (setting
O) by using the switch (2) on the right hand side panel.
Heating
Turn the temperature selector (3) clockwise to select
the required temperature. The heater will warm the
room uniformly and quickly. Air enters the heater from
below where it is heated and then exits through the
grid at the top of the heater.
The room temperature can be set between approx.
5 °C and 30 °C. The thermostat switches the heater off
once the set temperature has been reached and
switches on and off intermittently to maintain the
required temperature.
During the first operation, the heater may
give off a smell. Ensure that the room is
well ventilated (for example, open a
window).
Timer setting
Each unit comes with a 24 hour timer (4), which
overrides the heat switches and thermostat. However,
the unit must be connected with the power supply and
switched on for the timer to work.
Manual operation
If you do not wish to use the timer function you must
push all of the time segments towards the centre and
you can manually operate the unit.
If all the time segments are pushed out, the unit will not
operate.
Automatic operation
For the unit to operate automatically, you will need to
have the unit switched on and the current time set. To
do this you will need to rotate the clock face clockwise,
until the correct time is aligned with the indicator arrow
at the top.
NB: The timer’s rotating face acts like a 24 hour
clock. The number 12 is 12pm Noon and the
number 24 represents 12am Midnight.
For times when you wish the heater to switch ON,
push the corresponding time segment towards the
centre. Each time segment represents around 15
minutes, so if you want the heater continuously ON for
2 hours, push 8 segments towards the centre face.
You can set as many ON periods as you like within a
24hr period. These settings will repeat every day until
changed.
When the power is switched OFF, or during a power
failure, the timer will stop functioning. The correct time
must be reset when power is restored.
The clock face turns CLOCKWISE ONLY.
Forcing the clock face in the other
direction will destroy timing gears and
void the product warranty

Safety Notes
Control Panel Cover
It is recommended that you use the small screw
provided to secure the control panel cover in place to
avoid children from touching the controls, or random
operation of the unit.
Air outlet
The air outlets must not be obstructed.
For safety reasons the upper and lower air grilles must
never be covered with items such as washing nor
obstructed by items in too close proximity
Objects should not be leant against the unit nor placed
between the unit and the wall.
Never leave combustible materials, such as wood,
paper, textiles or flammable items such as wax, petrol,
aerosol cans etc. in the vicinity of the warm air outlet.
Safety thermal cut-out
The panel convector heater is equipped with a safety
cut-out that switches the heater off if it overheats.
Once the heater has switched off due to overheating,
remove the cause of the fault, e. g. blocked air grids.
When the heater has cooled down for several minutes
it will restart automatically. If the heater then cuts off
again, switch off the heater and call an authorized
serviceman
Care and Maintenance
1. Always disconnect the cord from the electrical
outlet before cleaning the unit.
2. Light accumulated dust may be removed from the
upper and lower grilles with a soft cloth or vacuum
cleaner using the dusting brush attachment.
3. Wipe the exterior surfaces of the unit occasionally
with a cloth moistened (not dripping wet) with a
mild soap solution. Dry the surfaces thoroughly
with a soft dry cloth before operating.
4. Avoid the use of gasoline, benzine, thinner etc as
they may result in damage to the unit.
5. If keeping the unit as a portable heater, please
store the unit in a clean dry place when not in use.
CAUTION! Do not immerse the heater in
water or allow water to drip into the
interior of the heater housing as this
could create a fire or electric shock
hazard.
WARNING! Do not attempt to open or
repair the heater yourself. Doing so
could void the warranty and cause
damage or personal injury.
