You must inspect the appliance including its cable and plug for any signs
of damage. If the product is damaged, DO NOT use it, and contact your
supplier immediately. INSTALLATION
For free-standing use: Attach the feet to the underneath of the heater
using the four 12mm (½") screws.
To wall-mount: Referring to the diagram opposite, draw two horizontal
lines on the wall 255 mm (10") apart, the lower line more than 50 mm (2")
from the floor.
•On the upper line, drill holes 550 mm (21½") from the centre line, using
a 6 mm (¼") masonry bit, and insert a wall plug.
•On the lower line, drill holes 521 mm (20½") from the centre line using a
6 mm (¼") masonry bit, and insert a wall-plug.
•Fix the two hook-brackets to the upper holes using the 30 mm (1¼")
screws.
•Fix the two L-shaped brackets to the underside of the heater between
the first and second sets of slots, using the 12 mm (½") screws
•Hang the heater on the hook-brackets using the two 25 mm (1") slots.
•The L-shaped brackets will now line up with the lower holes in the wall.
Attach to the wall using the other two 30 mm (1¼") screws.

PAT TESTING
When used in a workplace, this product must be safety-tested yearly by a
qualified electrician (PAT Tested) in order to comply with the Electricity at
Work Regulations.
We recommend that it is PAT tested regularly when used in a domestic
environment.

GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Domestic wiring must be tested periodically by a qualified electrician at
least once every 10 years or at every change of occupancy.
For office and retail premises, and buildings such as village halls, the
wiring must be inspected at least once every 5 years.
It is recommended that all buildings be fitted with smoke alarms (it is
mandatory for new buildings)
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, and that it is fully unwound.
Move the 3-position switch on the timer to the "I" position.
Use the two power control switches on the side to select the required
operation:
•Both switches off = OFF
•Left switch ON = Low Heat (750 W)
•Right switch ON = Medium heat (1250 W)
•Both switches ON = High Heat (2000 W)
Do not touch the air output grille when the heater is in operation, because
it will be hot and may cause burns.
Switch on the turbo fan to accelerate heat convection to warm a cold
room more quickly.
Unplug the heater from the mains when not in use.
USING THE THERMOSTAT
The thermostat can be use to regulate the room temperature.
Turn the heater on, 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.
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.

USING THE TIMER
When the timer switch is in this
position, the heater will be
permanently OFF. Use this position in
the summer when a permanently installed
heater is not required.
When the timer switch is in this
position, the heater will be
controlled by the timer.
When the timer switch is in this
position, the heater will
permanently ON.
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.
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 EH1331 will cost £0.24 per hour to run 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 plastic.
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 EH1331 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.
DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING
You must not dispose of this appliance with domestic household waste.
Most local authorities have specific collection system for appliances and
disposal is free of charge to the end-user.
When replacing an existing appliance with a similar new appliance your
retailer may take the old appliance for disposal.
