Heating
The columns or fins are filled with a special oil that conducts heat to the metal surfaces. These in turn
warm the air around them which gently and silently heats the room. Be careful because they work under
pressure as the oil inside heats up. Like any electrical appliance, this product may cause injury or damage
property if used whilst damaged.
Castors
Column Heater are heavy, which is why castors are supplied with this product. To reduce packaging,
they have been placed unassembled in the carton.
Castor Wheel Assembly
1. Unpack the castor wheels from the packaging and
remove the nut, from the castor wheel shaft.
2. Unpack the castor wheel mounting plate from the
packaging. Feed the castor wheel shaft upwards
through the underside of the castor wheel
mounting plate, and align the rectangular locator
on the base of the castor wheel shaft with the slot
on the mounting plate. The castor wheel shaft and
mounting plate should fit together snuggly.
3. Replace castor nut, over the top of the mounting
bracket and secure tightly with the nut provided.
The nut may need to be tightened with a spanner .

Refer to the diagram below which shows how to securely attach the castor brackets to the
Column Heater, so it can be wheeled from room to room. The brackets are designed to prevent the
fins from touching walls.
This is the only time that you should ever turn the Column Heater on its side or upside-down. After
attaching the castor brackets wait 15 minutes for the oil in each column to settle back into position before
use.
Place one of the two U-bolts supplied into the castor bracket
Position the castor bracket between the first and second
columns and slide the U-bolt through the middle
Turn the U-bolt so the threaded end is pointing vertically into
the air

Note: You will need to experiment with your Column Heater to establish the exact setting
required for your particular room or space.
Ensure the castors are aligned horizontally and tighten the wing
nuts. The wing nuts can be tightened securely without the use
of a tool
Heat Settings
When you turn on your Column Heater, turn the heat switch marked ‘III’, and then turn the
thermostat as high as it will go. This will set the Column Heater to high, producing the maximum
amount of heat possible to reduce the amount of time it takes to warm up the room.
As the room warms up, you may wish to decrease the heat level to maintain a comfortable room
temperature. To do this, turn the thermostat down to a lower setting. The Column Heater will cycle
on and off to maintain the desired room temperature.
To set a low room temperature, turn the switch marked ‘I’.
To set a medium room temperature, turn the switch marked ‘II’.
On really cold days these low and medium settings may not be practical, as heat losses can exceed
the heat generated by your Column Heater. Larger rooms and open space areas may also find the
low and medium heat settings ineffective.
