ASSEMBLY OF THE HEATER

Before using the heater, the feet (supplied separately in the carton), must be fitted to the unit. These are to be attached to the base of the heater using the 4 screws provided, taking care to ensure that they are located corretly in the bottom ends of the heater side moldings.

OPERATION OF THE HEATER

NOTE: It is normal when the heaters are turned on for the first time or when they are turned on after having not been used for long period of time the heaters may emit some smell and fumes. This will disappear when the heater has been on a short while.
Choose a suitable location for the heater, taking inot account the safety instruction 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. When the heating elements are on the switches will illuminate. For maximum heat output both switches should be on. 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 set level by switching ou and off automatically.
Convector heater also incorporates an internal fan, which can be switched on independently of the heating elements.

Fan Operation: This is operated by means of the switch with the fan symbol along side it. The fan will only operate with the thermostat in the ‘on’ position and can be used when the heating elements are ‘on’ to blow warm air into the room. In warm conditions the fan can be used with the heating elements ‘off’ to blow cool air into the room.

This model is also fitted with a 24hr timer which has 48 segments around its circumference, each segment being equivalent to 30 minutes of time. With the aid of this timer it is possible to present the time and durating of the period(s) that it is desired the heater will operate, in any 24hr period.

Timer Operation: 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 fed 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 poer is fed to the heater.

Setting the Timer
Ensure the slide switch on the timer 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 the timer is being set is 8 p.m., rotate the outer ring until the number 20 is in the line with the arrow pointer.

• Set the time 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, the heater must always be plugged into a power sockets, the element switches must be in the on position and the thermostat must be suitably set to ensure the heater will come on.
• 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.
• Note: When using in timer mode, due consideration should be given to the fact that the heater may come on whilst unattended.

PROTECTION AGAINST OVERHEATING

• An additional fitted safety thermostat protects the heater against overheating and switches it off automatically. The service lamp then goes out. The heater is ready for service again after a short cooling-off phase (approx. 15 minutes).
• If this repeat itself, first check whether the thermostat switch it 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.
