ASSEMBLY OF THE HEATER

(FOR USE ON THE FLOOR AS A PORTABLE APPLIANCE)

WALL MOUNTING

(FOR USE OF THE HEATER AS A FIXED APPLIANCE)

The heater is supplied with four (of each) fixing brackets, screws and plastic wall plugs to enable it to be mounted onto a wall if required. If it is decided to mount the heater on the wall, the feet should not be fitted. The wall positioning must be chosen carefully. It must not be in front of or below a power socket. It must NOT be below a shelf, curtains or any other obstructions. Refer to the Safety Instructions.

There must be a minimum distance of 400 mm between the floor and the bottom of the heater. Allowance must be made for any floor coverings, carpets etc, and if any skirting boards are present.

Drill two fixing holes 486 mm apart on a horizontal line to the floor using an 8 mm drill bit.

Using the plastic plugs and fixing screws provided, attach 2 of the fixing brackets to the wall.

The other pair of fixing brackets must be attached to the base of the heater using the retaining screws so that the brackets project out at the rear of the heater and hold the bottom edge of the heater away from the wall.

Clip the heater onto the two brackets that are secured onto the wall.

If required, the bottom brackets may also be secured to the wall using the remaining fixing screws and plastic wall plugs.

It is suggested that the heater is hung on the upper brackets and the hole positions for the lower brackets are then marked on the wall prior to drilling the holes for attachment purposes. See the figures below.

OPERATION OF THE HEATER

Note: It is normal for the heater to emit a smell and fumes when it is turned on for the first time or after not being used for a prolonged period. The fumes will disappear after a short while of the heater being in use.

Choose a suitable location for the heater, as per the safety instructions stated above.
Insert the plug of the heater into a suitable socket.
Turn the thermostat knob fully in a clockwise direction to set it to the maximum setting.
Turn on the heating elements using the switches situated on the side panel. When the heating elements are on, the switches will illuminate. For maximum heat output, both of the switches should be on.
When the desired room temperature has been reached, the thermostat knob should slowly be turned anti-clockwise; until a click can be heard and the lights on the element switches turn off. After this, the heater will regulate the air temperature in the room by switching on and off automatically.

POWER SETTINGS

The settings can be used individually or combined to get the heater to work on 2000 W power.
