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.

•Press the ON button once, or twice to select 800 W or 1600
W heat output.
•Press the OFF button to switch the heater off.
•Press the TURN button to switch oscillation on or off. When
oscillation is switched on the heater turns from side to side to
distribute the heat more evenly.
•The TIMER can be used to switch the heater off after a set
time, from 30 minutes to 7½ hours. Press the TIMER button
until the LED indicators show the total time after which the
heater is required to switch off.
•Unplug the appliance from the mains when not in use.
•If the heater is disconnected from the mains supply, or is
switched off at the socket, it will be necessary to use the
control panel to switch it on again. It cannot be used with a
timer.
USING THE REMOTE CONTROL
Before using the remote control, remove the battery
compartment cover from the rear panel and fit two AAA
batteries, observing the polarity indications.
The buttons on the remote control have exactly the same
functions as the buttons on the control panel.
