THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PLUGGED INTO AN EARTHED SOCKET
•Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same
as that indicated on the rating plate. This product is designed to operate on 220 -
240V AC; 50Hz. Connection to any other power source may damage the unit.
•This product may be fitted with a non re-wireable plug. If it is necessary to change

Note: For models with a Timer control please see page 10 - 12
1. Before connecting your appliance to the mains socket,
position the appliance upright on the floor away from
curtains, furniture or wall coverings.
2. Insert the mains plug into a suitable 13 Amp mains socket.
3. The appliance has 3 heating elements. Turn the Power Control
dial to the required position
4. Turn the Thermostat Control to the desired position. It is
recommended to select the highest position to pre heat the
appliance. It will take 5 -10 minutes for the appliance to fully
heat up, the time taken for the heater to heat the room it is
located in will be dependent on the size of the room and the
ambient temperature of the room. The indicator light will
illuminate when the unit is working, but the light will cycle on
and off when the thermostat control is set on a low setting
and the heater is then maintaining the room temperature.
Note: this appliance will not operate if the thermostat has been
set too low.
Note: If the thermostat dial is set toward the maximum setting
and the power control is set to off then the indicator light will stay
illuminated. No heat will be emitted as the power to the heating
elements is off.
0 - Power OFF Off
I - Low heat ON 750W
II - Medium heat ON 1250W
III - High heat ON 2000W

Page 9
5. A small amount of smoke may be produced during first
time use or when the appliance has not been used for a
long period of time, this is normal and will quickly
disappear.
6. When the room reaches the desired temperature, the
heater will temporarily go off.
7. If the room temperature falls below the desired
temperature, the heating elements will turn on again until
the room temperature reaches the desired temperature
The appliance is fitted with an over heat protection system.
•Overheat protection - the power to the heating elements
will automatically cut off if the temperature of the heating
elements exceeds a certain limit. In the event of
overheating, the heater will stop operating. Once the
appliance has completely cooled the appliance will then
resume operating as normal.
