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 appliance on at the mains socket.
Use the two power control switches on the side to select the
required operation:
• Both switches off = OFF
• Left switch ON = Low Heat (500 W)
• Right switch ON = Medium heat (1000 W)
• Both switches ON = High Heat (1500 W)
Unplug the appliance 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 appliance will then operate at maximum output. When
the desired temperature is reached, rotate the temperature
control anticlockwise until a click is heard. The appliance 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.
