Operating Instructions

Important: Before use, read and understand all the safety instructions listed in this manual. The heater may emit an odour during first use. This is normal and will pass shortly after switching on.

WARNING! DO NOT leave the heater unattended while it is connected to the power supply or switched on.

Positioning the Heater
This heater is intended for use in small, enclosed spaces such as offices, home garages, etc.
Position the fan so that it stands upright unaided on a firm, level and fire- resistant surface and is located a safe distance away from flammable objects and wet environments.

Set the angle of the heater by loosening the position adjustment screws (4), tilting the heater as required and then tightening the screws to secure it.

Important: ALWAYS ensure that the position adjustment screws are tightly secured before switching on the heater.
Ensure that the operation control dial (2) is set to the off position ( ) and the thermostat control dial (9) is set to the lowest position, then connect the plug directly to a power outlet.

WARNING! DO NOT attempt to adjust the angle of the heater during or immediately after use. ALWAYS switch off the heater, disconnect the power supply and allow it to cool before loosening the position adjustment screws

The Operation Control Dial

The operation control dial (2) has four operating positions:

The Thermostat Control Dial

The thermostat control dial (9) can be used to set the desired room temperature. The heater will then maintain the chosen temperature automatically.

1. After connecting the heater to the power supply, turn the operation control dial (2) to the desired position.
2. Turn the thermostat control dial clockwise to the maximum position and allow the heater to heat the space in order to set the desired ambient temperature.
3. When the desired temperature is reached, turn the thermostat control dial anticlockwise until it “clicks” and the power LED goes out.
4. The heater will automatically switch on and begin heating when the ambient temperature drops below the current setting.
5. Important: If the fan only setting is selected on the operation control dial (2), the thermostat control dial must be set to its maximum position.

The Safety Tab

The heater is equipped with a safety tab (7) for safe adjustment when the heater is in use and to prevent the heater from being directed towards the ground.
Important: The safety tab MUST NOT be removed or bent out of position under any circumstances. DO NOT use the heater if the safety tab has been compromised in any way and contact Draper Tools for support.

Switching Off the Heater After Use
Before switching off the heater, turn the operation control dial (2) to the fan only setting and turn the thermostat control dial to its maximum position. Allow the fan to blow for a few minutes to cool the heater element before turning both dials to their lowest position and disconnecting the power supply.

Thermal Cut-Out

The heater is equipped with a safety device that cuts the power to the heating element, which is activated when the heater overheats. When this occurs, the heater must be switched off, disconnected from the power supply and left to cool for at least ten minutes.
Important: If overheating causes the heater to switch off automatically, the cause of overheating MUST be rectified before the product is used again. Possible causes include covering of the inlet (1) and outlet (3) grilles or the fan being positioned too close to a wall or other object.
Once the heater has fully cooled, reconnect it to the power supply and switch it back on again.

WARNING! ALWAYS ensure that the heater is switched off, disconnected from the power supply and has fully cooled before attempting to maintain this product.
