START UP – TURNING HEATER ON
•Press and release the ON/OFF Button once to start the heater and the operation light (green) will light
up.
•After a short delay the combustion light (red) will light up, this indicates proper ignition has been
achieved and the burner is on.
•Set temperature and room temperature are displayed on the screen.
Note: When the ON/OFF light is glowing green the heater can be switched on by pressing the Remote
Control button.
TURNING HEATER OFF
•The appliance can be turned off by pressing and releasing the ON/OFF button. The green (or red)
ON/OFF operation LED will immediately extinguish and the digital display will revert to the time (if set).

lower the temperatures inside the heater and is normal.
•Do not unplug the heater while the fan is still operating.
Important Information:
•When using the heater for the first time or after long periods of disuse, ignition may not occur the first
time it is operated as there may be air within the pipes.
•The unit may make noises after igniting or extinguishing the heater. This is due to expansion and
contraction of the heater components and is normal.
•If the heater fails to light, repeat the procedure after first pressing the ON/OFF button to turn the unit off.
•Do not start then stop immediately. This may cause the heater to overheat or the filter light to come on.

Operating Instructions

15
AUTOMATIC ECONOMY OPERATION
•The ECONOMY mode is automatically operated and designed to increase efficiency of the appliance.
•The ECONOMY operation allows the heater to heat the room to the set temperature and after a period of
30 minutes it allows the temperature to automatically reduce by one degree. After another 30 minutes
the temperature is reduced by a further one degree to a maximum of two degrees.
•This subtle reduction in temperature is not noticed by the user.
ROOM TEMPERTATURE ADJUSTMENT
•When the heater is operational the display screen will show the [SET] temperature and the [ROOM]
temperature:
•[SET] indicates your desired temperature and [ROOM] indicates current room temperature.
•You can pre-set the [SET] temperature by raising or lowering the temperature selection buttons. For Eg;
Select 22 Degrees C as your desired temperature and this temperature is then memorised into the
control system.
•[SET] temperature selection can range from 16 Degrees C (low) – 26 Degrees C (high).
•[ROOM] temperature is indicated as follows:
o{L} – lower than 0 Degrees C
o{1} – {30} Degrees C
o{H} – Higher than 31 Degrees C
Important Information:
•Please assume the ROOM temperature is not an exact temperature.
•Your room may not arrive at the [SET] temperature or may exceed the [SET] temperature due to the size
of room, construction of room, location of the heater or external temperature. If this occurs please switch
heater OFF and then ON again. In the case of immediate re-operation the [ROOM] temperature shown
on the display screen may be higher than the actual [ROOM] temperature for at least 3 to 4 minutes.
•Please note for the heater to ignite the [SET] temperature must be higher than the [ROOM] temperature.

PRE-HEAT FUNCTION
This heater has a pre-heat function which operates the heater one hour prior to the programmed starting
time of the timer. This function will warm the room before the programmed starting time of the timer. This is
an automatic function and cannot be cancelled.
At one hour prior to the timers programmed ON time the unit will automatically turn on (pre-heat function);
the timers ON LED will flash, the timers OFF LED will remain illuminated and the ON/OFF light will change
from green to red upon successful ignition.
When the timers programmed ON time is reached the timers OFF LED will also start to flash.
When the timers programmed OFF time is reached the unit will turn off and the timers ON and OFF LED’s
will stop flashing but remain on solid (as the timer is selected). The ON/OFF LED will revert from red to green
after the unit has extinguished.
