IMPORTANT
Installer and Users please note:
These instructions should be read carefully and left with the
user of the product for future reference.
INSTALLATION
For free-standing use: attach the feet to the underneath of
the heater using the four 12mm (½") screws.
To wall-mount: Firstly, remove the lower brackets from the
back of the heater, turn them upside down and replace them,
so that the tags protrude below the heater.
Referring to the diagram opposite, draw two horizontal lines
on the wall 308mm (12¼") apart, the lower line more than
50mm (2") from the floor.
On the upper line, drill holes 250mm (9¾") from the centre
line, using a 6mm (¼") masonry bit, and insert a wall plug.
Insert a screw into the hole and almost fully tighten.
On the upper line, drill holes 233mm (9¼") from the centre
line, using a 6mm (¼") masonry bit, and insert a wall plug.
Hang the heater on the two top brackets using the keyhole
slots on the back.
The lower brackets should now line up with the lower holes.
Insert a screw into the each of the holes through the
brackets, and fully tighten.

PRODUCT SAFETY
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance
• Place the EH1274 on a firm flat surface. Ensure that the air
inlets (at the bottom) and the air outlets (at the top) are not
obstructed.
• Ensure that curtains are at least 900mm (3') from the top of
the heater.
• Leave a gap of at least 50mm (2") at the sides of the
heater.
• If used free-standing, do not operate unless the feet are
correctly attached.
• Do not place on soft surfaces.
• Do not cover. This symbol shown on the casing of
the heater means that the heater should not be
covered.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not locate the heater immediately below a socket outlet.
• Do not use in bathrooms, or in wet or damp locations.
• Do not place the mains lead beneath a carpet or rug.
• Do not use the heater in locations where paint, petrol or
other flammable liquids are used or stored.
• Do no insert any object into the heater through the grilles.
This may damage the heater or result in overheating or
electric shock.

OPERATION
Plug the mains lead into a 13 Amp mains socket.
If connecting via an extension lead, make sure that the lead
is rated at 10 Amps or more, and that it is fully unwound.
Switch the unit on at the mains socket.
Use the two switches on the side to select the required
operation:
• One switch on = Low Heat (750W)
• Both switches on = High Heat (1500W)
Do not touch the air output grille when the heater is in
operation, because it will be hot and may cause burns.
Unplug the heater from the mains when not in use.
USING THE THERMOSTAT
The thermostat can be use to regulate the room temperature.
Turn both switches on (high heat), and rotate the
temperature control fully clockwise.
The heater will then operate at maximum output. When the
desired temperature is reached, rotate the temperature
control anticlockwise until a click is heard. The heater will
then switch on and off to keep the room at the desired
temperature. The indicator light will show that this is
happening.
Either the "low heat" or the "high heat" setting may be used.
If the temperature control is rotated fully anticlockwise, it will
operate as a "frost-stat" and switch the heater on if the
temperature drops below 4°C, preventing damage by frost.

OPERATING COSTS
At time of going to press, the average cost of electricity is
£0.11 per unit (kilowatt-hour). The amount you are being
charged will be shown on your electricity bill.
At this cost, the EH1274 will cost £0.08 per hour to run on the
"low heat " setting, and £0.16 per hour to run on the "high
heat" setting with the thermostat set to its maximum.
If the thermostat is used to regulate the temperature the
operating costs will be lower, depending on the room
temperature.
MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, turn the heater off, and disconnect from the
mains supply. The heater may then be cleaned using a damp
cloth with a drop of washing-up liquid to remove any dust or
dirt from the case. Do no use stronger detergents or solvents
as these may damage the paint finish.
Using a dry 1" (25mm) paint-brush, remove any dust from the
grilles.
If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or and authorised service centre. If the mains
plug needs to be replaced, proceed as follows:
• Connect the brown wire to the
terminal labelled "L".
• Connect the blue wire to the
terminal labelled "N".
• Connect the green/yellow wire
to the terminal labelled with the
earth symbol or "E".
• Make sure that the cord-grip is
positioned correctly (over the
outer sheath of the cable) and it
fully tightened.

FAULT-FINDING
The EH1274 has an overheat protection switch, which
disconnects the power if the element gets too hot. The usual
reason for this is because the air-flow has been obstructed,
or the grilles have been blocked. If the heater ceases to
operate, leave it for 20 minutes to cool down, then check that
the grilles are not being obstructed.
Switch back on, and check that the unit is operating normally.
If not, contact an authorised service agent for repair.

You must not dispose of this appliance with domestic
household waste.
Most local authorities have specific collection system for
