WARNING : Keep all objects at least 1 metre from the front and 300mm from
the sides of the appliance.
WARNING: Do not use this heater with a programmer, separate timer,
remote-control system or any other device that switches the heater on
automatically, since a fire risk exists if the heater is covered or positioned
incorrectly.
WARNING: This heater is not equipped with a device to control the room
temperature. Do not use this heater in small rooms when they are occupied by
persons not capable of leaving the room on their own, unless constant
supervision is provided.
WARNING: Never leave this heater unattended while in use.
WALL MOUNTED HEATERS ARE ONLY TO BE MOUNTED ON WALLS THAT COMPLY WITH CURRENT AS/NZS SPECIFICATIONS & BUILDING REGULATIONS
Once the heater is in a safe operating position and all switches are in the
off position, insert the power plug into the mains outlet.
CAUTION: Ensure the power cord is not tight because if pulled it may
partially pull the plug from the socket. A partially inserted plug will
overheat the plug and socket and could result in fire.
WARNING: This heater is not equipped with a device to control the room
temperature. Do not use this heater in small rooms when they are occupied by
persons not capable of leaving the room on their own, unless constant
supervision is provided.
Your Goldair Panel Heater will provide background warmth. This Panel Heater is designed to take the chill off the room.
The surface of this Panel Heater can be painted with good quality paint
(acrylic or enamel).
Decorating tip: All wall mounted heaters may cause paint to discolour or
wall paper to lift.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- Before plugging in and using your new Goldair panel heater, check all surfaces to ensure the heater is not damaged in any way.
- Check that the On/Off switch is set to the Off position before plugging the heater into the mains supply.
- Use the On/Off switch along the side of the heater to turn your heater on.
TIMER
- You must set the time prior to programming the Timer. To do this; turn the outer dial of the timer in a clockwise direction until the time of the day (24-hour clock) corresponds with the triangular marking. Example if it is 2pm (1400 hours) then set the triangular mark in line with 14. One complete turn of the dial corresponds to 24 hours.
- There are 96 “riders”, positioned around the dial, each rider represents 15 minutes.
- Where all the “riders” are pushed to the outside of the timer the appliance will be ON continuously.
- To set a specific time for example:
- If you want the appliance to be on from 6pm to 10pm, then set all the riders from 18 to 22 (1800 hours to 2200 hours) to the outside of the rim and all other riders to the inside of the timer. The unit will then turn on automatically at 6pm and off again at 10pm.
SAFETY DEVICES
This appliance has two protection devices:
- Resettable thermal link – this will automatically disconnect the power to the appliance at a pre-set overheat temperature. After cooling down it will reset and power on again. If this occurs, investigate what is causing the appliance to overheat.
- Thermal fuse – this disconnects the appliance permanently in case of overheating. (It is non resettable).
Note: The light in the power switch will remain on even after the safety
devices have activated to show there is still power to the heater
CAUTION: The heater generates heat during use. Proper precautions must be
taken to prevent the risk of burns, scalds, fires or other damage to persons.
CARE AND CLEANING
- The heater requires regular cleaning to ensure trouble free operation:
- Unplug the heater from the mains supply before cleaning.
- Ensure that the heater has been allowed to cool down completely before cleaning.
- The common cause of overheating is deposits of dust or fluff in the appliance. Ensure these deposits are removed regularly by unplugging the appliance and vacuum cleaning the air vents and grills.
- Use a damp cloth (not wet) to wipe the exterior of the heater to remove dust and dirt.
- Never use solutions such as petrol, thinners or polishing agents.
