Push button ignition : Only one touch of the ON / OFF button is required to operate the heater.
Dual Timer : The dual timer allows you to program the heater to come on for two separate periods
each day, usually one period in the morning and one period in the evening. The dual timer feature
means that you can set and forget your heater. It will turn itself ON and OFF at the times you
have programmed until you cancel the timer program.
7 step automatic heat control with electronic thermostat. The fan is also controlled by the
thermostat.
Pre-Heat : This function will automatically operate the heater within one-hour prior to the
programmed time of the timer in order to heat a room to the pre-set temperature by the
programmed time.
Economy mode : An energy saving feature that reduces the room temperature by 3℃over a 90
minute interval.
Memory : The micro-computer records selected pre-set temperatures, the times programmed into
Timers as well as operating the Economy and Pre-heat modes to maintain comfort levels. Even if
the power cord is pulled out of the power point, the next time the unit is operated, there will be no
need to re-program the Timer times (only the clock will need to be re-programmed).
Override Function : This temporarily changes the heater operation from ON to OFF, or vice
versa, until the next programmed setting is reached.
Remote Control : A remote control is supplied to enable you to turn your 1004 FTR ON and OFF,
and to adjust its temperature at your convenience. The remote control also comes with its own
handy bracket for easy storage.
Lockable Control Panel Lid : The 1004 FTR has a lockable Control Panel Lid which is ideal for
commercial use. This feature is great for applications where safety is paramount or when the unit
is required to be set once and left alone. Two keys are also supplied with the unit.
Function Lock : Prevents children from altering heater settings whilst running, or from activating
the heater when turned off. This feature is utilised if the Control Panel Lid is unlocked.
Heater Filter Indicator : When the heater filter becomes covered with dust and the temperature
inside the appliance rises, the heater filter indicator will flash indicating that cleaning is necessary.
The integral humidifier tray can be filled with water as required to raise the humidity level in the
room.
Room Sealed : Air for combustion is taken from the outside and the flue product is exhausted
outside, keeping the room air clean.

HOW TO OPERATE THE HEATER
■Turning ON
●Press the ON/OFF button
・The ON indicator will illuminate green.
・The convection fan will rotate.
・Ignition will take 5〜10 seconds and the
ON / Combustion indicator will change from
green to red to let you know that the burner
has ignited.
Note :
・When using the unit for the first time or after long periods of disuse, ignition may not occur
the first time it is operated as there may be air in the gas pipes. If ignition does not occur
after approximately 30 seconds the unit will cease operation automatically.
Try operating the unit again if this occurs.
・The unit may make noises after ignition / extinction. This is the inside of the unit expanding
and contracting and is normal.
・The heater will not ignite if the “ON / OFF”button is pressed straight after extinction. After
approximately 20 seconds has passed. the unit will automatically go into ignition mode.
■Turning OFF
●Press the ON/OFF button
・The ON / Combustion indicator will go out.
・After the indicator has gone out, the
convection fan will continue to rotate for
several minutes, then stop. This is to lower
the temperature within the unit. Do not pull
out the power cord during this time.
・When the Function Lock is set, the Function Lock indicator will continue to illuminate even
when the unit is OFF and the Function Lock will not be cancelled.
・Do not pull out the power cord or disconnect the power during combustion to cause
extinction, or straight after extinction, as this may cause damage to the unit.
CAUTION !

Displaying, setting and adjusting the room
temperature can only be done when the heater is
operating.
・When the unit is first operated, the room
temperature is set at 22℃.
・Set the desired room temperature with the
up and down buttons while looking at the
display section.
・The “Set Temp”can be set to “L”or
between “16”〜“26”, or “H”(continuous
combustion on High) .
・The “Room Temp”will display “L”(when
lower than 1℃), “1”〜“30”(at intervals of
1℃), or “H”(when higher than 30℃).
・Once a temperature is set, it will be stored in
the microcomputer's memory.
Note :
・Rooms may not arrive at the set temperature
due to the construction of the room, the
location of the unit, or external temperatures.

ECONOMY MODE
The Economy Mode, when selected, has the ability to reduce gas consumption and ultimately
save energy. Once a room has reached the desired temperature, the unit will automatically begin
reducing the set temperature gradually. This reduction is normally not noticeable, however, it is
purely your choice whether to select this mode.
How it works :
・After a room reaches the set temperature, the set room temperature will decrease 3 times
automatically, each time, dropping by a maximum of 1℃in 30 minute blocks. From the
second time onwards, the comfort control will automatically operate. (The comfort control
alters combustion and fan speed more frequently to counteract the feeling of cold air. )
・The Economy indicator will illuminate to let you know that the Economy Function is selected.
・The Economy function will not operate when the set room temperature is less than 16℃or
above 26℃.
・When the Economy function is operating, the current room temperature may be shown as
being lower than the set room temperature, however, this is normal.
