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 13 Amps or more, and that it is fully unwound.
Switch the unit on at the mains socket.
Move the 3-position switch on the timer to the "I" position
Use the rotary power control switches on the side to select
the required operation:
•O= OFF
•I= Low Heat (1000 W)
•II = Medium heat (1100 W)
•III = High Heat (2100 W)
For an additional 400 W of heat, or to provide heat whilst the
main heater reaches normal operating temperature, switch
on the fan heater using the rocker switch on the front panel
beneath the fan grille.
When the main heater has reached normal operating
temperature, the fan heater may be switched off to reduce
noise, or left running to provide an additional 400 W of heat.
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, medium or high heat setting can be used, with
or without the additional fan heater.

USING THE TIMER
The numbers around the timer dial show the time in 24-hour
clock.The timer is controlled by the plastic segments - each
segment represents 15 minutes. Move the segment outwards
if the heater should be ON for that time period, or inwards
towards the centre of the dial if it should be OFF.
Rotate the dial clockwise until the arrowhead at the right of
the dial points to the current time.
To use the heater in timed mode, it should be permanently
connected to the mains supply. If the power is disconnected,
the clock will stop.
To operate the heater in timed mode, the three position
switch within the dial should be in the centre position. If it is in
the "I" position, the heater will be permanently ON. If it is in
the "O" position, the heater will be permanently OFF.
OPERATING COSTS
At time of going to press, the average cost of electricity is
£0.12 per unit (kilowatt-hour). The amount you are being
charged will be shown on your electricity bill.
At this cost, the EH1361 will cost £0.12 per hour to run on the
"low heat " setting, and £0.13 per hour to run on the "medium
heat" setting or £0.25 per hour to run on the "high heat"
setting, with the thermostat set to its maximum, with an extra
£0.05 per hour, if the additional fan heater is used.
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 plastic.
