Fitting the Castors
The heater is packaged with the castors unattached. You must attach them before
operating the heater. Fit the castors to the mounting plates using the bolts provided.
Note that the castors are designed to be a tight fit on the mounting plate but are
designed to rotate freely during use.
1 Place the radiator body upside-down on a soft surface to avoid damage to the
heater. Make sure it is in a stable position and will not fall.
2 Attach the castor mounting plate to the heater body:
a. Insert the non-threaded end of the U bolt into one of the two holes in the
castor mounting plate (see fig 1).
b. Keeping this position, hook the U bolt around the body section that joins the
last two fins and turn the U bolt until it lines up with the remaining hole in the
castor mounting plate (see fig 2 and 3).
c. Secure the U bolt and mounting plate with the wing nut provided (see fig 4).
d. Repeat at the other end.
3 Return the unit to an upright position. It is now ready for use.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate without castors attached. The heater must only
be operated in an upright position. Any other position could create a
hazardous situation. Ensure that the castors are fitted to the base of the heater
so that, when in use, the controls are at the top and the cable storage is at the
bottom of the control panel.

Operating Instructions
Connect the heater into the power supply. The two power selector switches on the
control panel provide a choice of half or full heat output to suit varying conditions and
for economy of operation.
1. The upper switch turned on provides approximately half the heat output of the
heater.
2. Both the upper and centre switch provides full heat output.
3. The bottom switch selects the fan boost function (Does not apply to OC2411T).
When it is switched the heater cuts back to one heat setting plus 400W turbo fan
output.
Thermostat Control
Turn the thermostat knob fully clockwise to its highest position for maximum heat
output to warn the room rapidly. When the room temperature has reached the
desired level, turn the thermostat knob back slowly until the thermostat clicks off and
the neon light goes out. The heater will then operate under the control of the
thermostat to maintain the chosen temperature level, provided that the heater is of
sufficient size for the room to be heated.
Humidifying Cup
The use of the humidifying cup is optional. To use the humidifying cup you will need
to fill it with clean water and place the plastic cup over the fins at the top of the
heater. The water will evaporate slowly during the heating process to place moisture
into the warm air.
WARNING: The plastic cup and water will become hot during use so you will
need to wait for it to cool before removing. Ensure that the heater is out of the
reach of small children and observe all other safety precautions.

Using the Timer
The timer is a 24-hour programmable timer enabling the heater to be switched ON
and OFF automatically if desired. The heater must be connected to the electricity
supply for the timer to operate. The switch on the timer will also control the electricity
supply to the elements when in use.
The timer has a small switch on the inside of the dial. The
functions are as follows:
O= OFF (the unit will not work)
I = ON (manual operation)
= Timer function is ON
Manual Operation
Set the switch on the inside of the timer to the “I” position. The heater will now
operate continuously under the control of the thermostat.
Automatic (Timer) Operation
To start you will need to set the current time. This is done by rotating the dial
clockwise until the correct time of the day is indicated opposite the datum ( ) mark.
Should the electricity supply to the heater be disconnected it will be necessary to
reset the timer to the time of day.
Set the switch on the inside of the timer to the position. Push the red pins
outwards corresponding to the time you want the radiator to turn on. Push the pins in
towards the centre corresponding to the time you want the radiator to turn off.
Each pin represents 15 minutes, so if heating is required for a 2 hour period 8 pins
should be moved. The timers may be set to give as many ‘ON’ periods of any length
as may be required over the 24 hour period. The program will repeat itself every 24
hours until changed or the unit is switched off at the power supply.
This program may be over ridden at any time by switching to Manual (I) or Off (O).
NOTE: The heater will not operate if the timer is set to the position and the
pins are not activated according to the times required.

Care and Maintenance
The heater requires regular cleaning to ensure trouble free operation:
•Turn the isolation switch off. For added protection, also turn the mains supply off.
•Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior of the heater. Do not use abrasive
cleaning products on this appliance.
•Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and fluff from the inlet and outlet grilles.
•Ensure the heater is dry before turning the mains supply to the heater on.
CAUTION! Do not immerse the heater in water or allow water to drip
into the interior of the fan 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.
