OPERATION OF THE HEATER

smell and fumes. This will disappear when the heater has
been on a short while.

Choose a suitable location for the heater, taking into
account the safety instructions above.
Insert the plug of the heater into a suitable socket.
Turn THERMOSTAT KNOB fully in a clockwise direction
to the maximum setting. Turn on the heating elements
by means of HEATER SWITCHES on the side panel.
Turn on the heating elements by means of HEATER
SWITCH on the side panel. You may obtain three
heating settings (750/1250/2000W) by turning the
heater switch knob in a clockwise direction.
When the desired room
temperature has been reached,
the thermostat knob should be
turned slowly anti-clockwise until
the thermostat is heard to click
off and the lights on the element
switches are seen to go out. After
this the heater will keep the air
temperature in the room at the
selected level by switching on
and off automatically.
Fan Operation: You can enable the fan by using the fan
switch placed on the side of the appliance. The fan will only
operate with the thermostat turned on and can be used
when the heating is “on” in order to blow warm air into the
room. In warm conditions the fan can be used with the
heating function turned off, in order to blow cool air into the
room.
Timer Operation:
-This model is also fitted with a 24hr timer which has 96
segments around its circumference, each segment being
equivalent to 15 minutes of time.

Setting the Timer
Ensure the slide switch on the timer is at the mid position
next to the clock symbol.
Rotate the outer ring of the timer in a clockwise direction
until the current time is lined up with the arrow pointer, i.e.
if the time that the timer is being set is 8 p.m., rotate the
outer ring until the number 20 is in line with the arrow
pointer.
Set the time that the heater is required to run, by pulling
the segments around the outer ring forward appropriate
to the running period(s) required.
When set, the heater will operate each day during the
times programmed.
Note that the heater must always be plugged into a power
socket, the element switches must be in the 'on' position
and the thermostat must be suitably set to ensure the
heater will switch on.
With the aid of this timer it is possible to preset the time
and duration of the period(s) that it is desired the heater
will operate, in any 24hr period.
The centre of the timer has a 3 position slide switch.
In the central position (denoted by the clock symbol) the
timer will switch the heater on and off at times set by the
segments, (see setting the timer, below).
The position denoted by the “I”, is a timer override
position. The timer will continue to run but power will be
provided continuously to the heater. This enables the
heater to be on all the time if required. In the position
denoted by the “O”, the timer continues to run but no
power is provided to the heater.
If the heater is required to run continuously the slide switch
on the timer should be set to the “I” position.
If it is subsequently required to revert back to timer
operation, the slide switch on the timer should be set to the
central (clock) position.

PROTECTION AGAINST OVERHEATING
−
−
−
An additional fitted safety thermostat protects the
heater against overheating and switches it off
automatically. The service lamp then goes out.
If the device switches itself off, disconnect the mains
plug from the socket. The heater is ready for service
again after a short cooling-off phase (approx.15
minutes). Plug the mains plug back into the socket.
If this repeats itself, first check whether the
thermostat switch is set correctly or if objects hinder
the heating operation.
CLEANING THE HEATER
Always un-plug the heater from the wall socket and allow
it to cool down before cleaning.
Clean the outside of the heater by wiping with a damp
cloth and buff with a dry cloth. Do not use any
detergents or abrasives and do not allow any water to
enter the heater.
STORING THE HEATER
When the heater is not used for long periods of time, it
should be protected from dust and stored in a clean dry
place.
Note: this 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. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
Note: When using in timer mode, due consideration
should be given to the fact that the heater may switch
on while unattended.
