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.
Turn the rotary switch clockwise to select the required operation:
( ) = Off.
Position 1 ( ) = Fan Only
Position 2 ( ) = 1200 W
Position 3 ( ) = 2400 W
Turn the rotary switch anti-clockwise to select the function below:
Position 1 ( ) = Frost Stat.
When the heater is used for the first time you may notice that the unit emits a little
smoke. This is normal as the heating element has been coated with a small amount
of protective oil during the manufacturing process.
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 supply when not in use.
USING THE THERMOSTAT
The EH1646 is equipped with a thermostat that works on the High Heat (position
2) setting. To use, after selecting Position 2 continue rotating the knob clockwise
till it stops. When the room is at the required comfort level rotate the control anti-
clockwise till you hear a click the thermostat will now be used to regulate the room
temperature at the desired level.
If the control is rotated fully anticlockwise from the OFF position, it will operate as
a "frost-stat" and switch the heater on if the temperature drops below approx. 5°C,
preventing damage by frost.

At time of going to press, the average cost of electricity is £0.13 per unit (kilowatt-
hour). The amount you are being charged will be shown on your electricity bill.

the thermostat set to its maximum and £0.16 per hour to run on the low heat setting.
If the thermostat is used to regulate the temperature the operating costs will be
lower, depending on the desired 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 an
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 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 EH1646 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.
Turn the switch to the low heat (position 2) setting, and reconnect to the mains
supply. If the fan operates, then it is safe to select the high heat (position 3) setting.
If the fan does not operate, or overheat protection switch operates again, contact
an authorised service agent for repair.
