MANUAL OPERATION
1. Before connecting your appliance to the mains socket,
position the appliance upright on the floor, at least 100cm
away from the wall, away from curtains, furniture or wall
coverings.
2. Insert the mains plug into a suitable 13 amp mains socket.
3. Turn on the power switch on the left hand side of the unit.
4. Press the power button on the unit or the power button
on the remote control to power on the unit. The
temperature of the unit will be at its highest setting
5. Press the heat setting button on the unit or the remote
control and select the heat setting you require. The
appliance has 4 power settings and these will be shown on
the LCD display: 1000W, 1300W, 2300W and Frost
protection. The Frost protection is a setting that operates
when the ambient temperature of the room that the
heater has been placed in falls below 5⁰C. The heater
automatically turns on at an appropriate heat setting to
keep the room temperature at 5⁰C or higher. This means
the heater may cycle on and off as and when the
temperature of the room is below or over 5⁰C
6. Select the required temperature by using the ‘˄’ and ‘˅’
buttons on the unit or the remote control. It is
recommended to select the highest temperature to pre
heat the appliance. It will take 5 - 10 minutes for the
appliance to fully heat up. The thermostat has a range of
5⁰C -37⁰C.
7. When the room reaches the desired temperature, the
radiator will cycle off and turn on again when the
temperature drops.

temperature, the heating elements will turn on again until
the room temperature reaches the desired temperature.
Note: this heater will cool down slowly after the power is shut
off. Allow the heater to cool prior to any movement, the built
in carry handles should be used for easy movement.
TIMER

remote control. The display will show ‘Timer 1h 00m’,
press the timer button again and the display will show
‘Timer 2h 00m’. This indicates a timer setting of 2 hours
and if no button is pressed then this will be set and the
unit will shut off in 2 hours.
3. Note, the heat setting and temperature setting can be
changed after the timer setting has been confirmed.
4. To cancel the timer setting you can either change the timer
setting so the display is blank or press the power button to
turn the unit off.
