Dimensions

Assembly

WARNING: DO NOT USE THE HEATER UNTIL THE FEET ARE FITTED CORRECTLY.
WARNING: ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE HEATER IS STOOD ON A FIRM LEVEL BASE NEAR TO, BUT NOT DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH A SUITABLE MAINS SUPPLY SOCKET.
WARNING: ENSURE THAT CURTAINS AND FURNITURE ARE NOT POSITIONED CLOSE TO THE CHOSEN POSITION
WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THE MINIMUM CLEARANCE DIMENSIONS ARE MAINTAINED

Note: These heaters are designed for operation on an AC electricity supply, and are suitable for use in domestic dwellings and similar indoor locations. These heaters are supplied with feet and handles for ease of movement. A mechanical rotary switch provides the ability to choose an available heat output and control the room temperature. These heaters are supplied with a cord and plug and are ready for use once the feet have been correctly fitted

Note: The ML Convector Series can only be used as portable heaters.

1. To install the feet, lay the heater on its back and remove the two foot fixing screws.
2. Assemble the feet by pressing them firmly into the convector body. The feet should clip into position.
3. Secure the feet into the convector body with the two foot fixing screws. Return the heater upright, and the unit is now ready for use.
   

Controls & Operation

Thermostat
The thermostat controls the heat output according to the room temperature. This ensures that the heater will not produce heat uneccessarily when the room is warm.

1. To set the temperature you require, gradually turn the thermostat clockwise until your desired temperature is reached. Allow some time between increments for the room temperature to stabilize.
2. Alternatively to heat a cold room quickly, turn the thermostat to the max position. When the room has reached your desired temperature, turn the thermostat anti-clockwise until the thermostat clicks off. The heater will then automatically maintain this room temperature.
3. The thermostat also has a frost protection setting marked .  This setting is useful in areas such as gargages to prevent frost damage. If the thermostat is set to its minimum setting  , the heater will cycle ON and OFF to maintain a temperature of approximately 5°C to help protect against frosty conditions.
4. Note: Should the heater fail to come on when the thermostat is at a low setting, this may be due to the room temperature being higher than the thermostat setting.

Heat
The heat output can be altered to suit the application, conditions and to improve the economy of operation. Switch the heat knob .

| Switch Setting
---|---
Model| 0| **I**| **II**|
ML2TA/ML2TS| Off| 1200W| 2000W| N/A
ML2TSFA/ML2TSF| Off| 1200W| 2000W| 2000W

Indicator Neon Light

The indicator neon comes on when the appliance is connected to the mains supply.

Turbo Fan

Only the ML2TSFA and ML2TSF models contain a turbo fan. The turbo fan is used to boost the airflow around the room. This circulates the heat better and results in a reduced heat up time and a more even heat distribution. To use the turbo fan on selected models, turn the heat switch to as per above.

Note: Although these units are manufactured to comply with the relevant safety standards, certain types of carpet could become discoloured by the temperatures under a portable heater. If you are concerned about this, we recommend that you contact the carpet manufacturer for guidance. Alternatively, stand the heater on a suitable base to shield the carpet.
You may notice some parts of the element appearing to be hotter from time to time because of the variable airflow through the heater. This does not cause a safety hazard.
The heat outlet grille may become discolored with use – this is caused by airborne pollution and is not a fault

Cleaning

Over time, dust can accumulate on the heater which can effect performance. It is recommended to clean the unit at least once a month.

1. Turn the unit OFF and disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
2. Remove any dust build up with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.
3. Wipe the outer surface of the unit with a soft damp cloth. Mild detergent can be used for any stubborn marks.

IMPORTANT
The controls and other parts must not come into contact with water or any other liquids.
