Thermostat Operation
The heater is fitted with an adjustable thermostat enabling
the room temperature to be controlled by adjusting the setting
accordingly. The *setting represents a room temperature of
approximately 5°C and may be used for protection against
frost. Higher temperature settings range from 1-6 (max.)
creating a room temperature of approximately 30°C.
A neon indicator light glows when the appliance is actually
heating.
Switch on the heater and turn the thermostat knob to mark 6
opposite the indicator mark (located on centre right of the
knob - see Fig. 4 & 5), and set selector switch to full heat
output to warm the room rapidly. When the room temperature
has reached the desired level, turn the thermostat knob back
slowly until the thermostat just clicks off. The heater will then
maintain the room temperature at the chosen level, provided
that the correct size of heater has been selected for the room
to be heated.
NOTE – Should your heater fail to come on when the
thermostat knob is at a low setting, this may be due to the
room temperature being higher than the thermostat setting.
Operation - Standard and Timer Models
Control of Output and Temperature (see Fig. 5)

represents 20 mins.
Safety - Overheat protection
For your safety this appliance is fitted with a thermal cut-out.
In the event that the product overheats for some reason, the
cut-out prevents excessive temperatures on the product by
cutting the power to the heater. Once the heater has cooled
down, it will reset automatically, it will continue to cycle on
and off automatically until the reason for overheating is
removed.
Cleaning
Before commencing cleaning, unplug the heater and allow it
to cool. Disconnect the electricity supply to the appliance.
The outside can be cleaned by wiping it over with a soft damp
cloth and then dried. Do not use abrasive cleaning powders
or furniture polish, as this can damage the surface finish.
