Operating the Heater
Never cover the heater, there is a risk of fire if covered.
Model 802
The heater is operated by three switches, located below the canopy.
Switch 1 = O Main On – Off
In the On position only the fuel effect light operates
Switch 2 = ❙1 kW fan heat setting and fuel effect
Switch 3 = ❙❙ 2 kW fan heat setting and fuel effect
The switches are mechanically interlocked, so when switch 1 is turned off, all switches turn off.
Model 801
These models have a slider control located on the right side of the surround for operating the main functions of the heater.
Located to the left of the fan outlet grille are a lamp dimmer control and a room thermostat control.
The Lamp Dimmer is used to set the light output of the fuel effect between off and high as required.
The Room Thermostat is used to maintain room temperature, the higher the setting, the higher the room temperature
will be before the heater turns off. When using the fan Coolblow setting, the thermostat should be turned to a high
position.
