OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The PUREHEAT “Odyssey” is a fan assisted heater.
FAN-ASSISTED HEATING
The heater is fitted with a thermostat which controls the fan. The internal thermostat
senses the temperature of the air in the room and automatically switches the internal
heating elements and fan from high to off depending on the room temperature.
The heater may also incorporate a 24-hour programmable timer (OE24TW & OE35TW
Models), which enables the Fan Heater to be preset to operate at given time/s.
Turn the heater on at the main switch located in the middle of the top panel (fig. 1).
Once on, the switch is illuminated. Note: Ensure timer is placed in the “ON” position. (See
Timer section below – fig. 3).
(fig. 1 – Main Control Switch) (fig. 2 – Heat Control
Knob)
Adjustment of the thermostat:
To achieve the lowest possible running costs the following method of adjusting the
thermostat (fig. 2) should be followed. Turn the Heat Control Knob to the position marked
“Hi”.
When the room reaches the desired temperature rotate the Heat Control Knob anti-
clockwise until you hear the thermostat click. Leaving the thermostat at this setting will
ensure that the heater will continue to maintain this temperature as a minimum setting,
assuming the heater has been sized correctly for the room, .i.e. approximately 1 kW of
electric heating for every 10 square metres of floor area, assuming standard ceiling height
& insulation. The heater will heat with full element, then cut off depending upon the heat
requirements of the room at this particular thermostat setting.
Operating the 24hr timer.
To set the correct time on the Timer (fig. 3), turn the outer ring of tags until the clock face
reads the correct time. Note: this is a 24 hour clock so ensure the small white arrow head
on the outer clock face is pointing to the correct hour of the 24 hour time period around
the outer perimeter of the timer face.
(fig. 3 – Timer)
Push the sliding switch on the face of the timer to the central position – this now activates
the timer ready to accept your timed period/s. Note: with this switch pushed to the OFF
position “O”, the heater will not operate but the timer will continue to keep the correct
time.
With the switch pushed to the ON position “I”, the heater will run under normal
thermostatically controlled conditions but with no timing facility.
To set your required “Turn on/Turn off” time periods, push the total quantity of tabs
outwards from the centre of the timer face for the period you want the heater to operate.
Each tab is 15 minutes.
Over the 24-hour period the heater will operate for the time periods with the tabs pushed
outwards and not operate when the tabs are pushed inwards.
IMPORTANT NOTES
•The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
•Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not interfere with the
appliance.
•The motor in your heater may be slightly noisy during the running-in period. Any
undue noise usually disappears within the first ten to fourteen days of operation.
Should motor noise persist, consult the electrician who installed your heater.
•Warning in order to avoid overheating do not cover the heater
•Never place articles such as clothing, curtains or furniture etc. directly in front of the
heater, over the side corners of the heater, or stand immediately in front of the heater
when it is operating
•In accordance with current Approval Regulations, this heater is fitted with an
automatic, resettable over-temperature cut-out, which will shut the heater off if the
air flow is impeded.
If this occurs, ensure the grills are clear of any obstruction, turn the heater off and wait
5 minutes to allow the cut-out to reset.
After waiting 5 minutes, turn the heater on and the thermostat knob to the “High”
position.
If the heater still does not operate or blows cold air, the secondary Thermal-fuse has
activated and you will require a Service call to replace this device. Note: Such service
calls are not covered by warranty.
•The heater is not suitable for installation in a bathroom
CLEANING
Note: Before any cleaning is carried out on the heater be sure to turn the power off at the
isolating switch and turn all heater top console switches to the off position.
•External surfaces: The heater can be wiped over with a cloth or sponge dampened
with warm water or any spray on, non-abrasive, liquid cleaner.
Warning: Do not pour liquids directly onto the heater surfaces.
•Air outlet: The air outlet surfaces can be wiped clean using a cloth or sponge
dampened with warm water or any spray on, non-abrasive, liquid cleaner.
