Assembling GSOC145

IMPORTANT: Please fit the wheel assemblies as per the diagram. Any other position may affect the stability of the heater.

1. Carefully turn the heater upside-down on a non-scratching and stable surface to prevent damage to the paint finish or your floor surfacing.
2. Fit the castors to the castor plates by placing each castor onto the spindle and pressing in until it clicks into place. This will require quite a lot of force.
3. Fit the castor’s plates onto the heater by placing the U-shaped bolt between the outermost fin away from the control side of the heater. Place one of the castor plates with the castors pointing to the outside of the heater onto the U-Bolt and secure it with the wing nut.
4. Attach the second castor plate (right angle version) to the bottom of the control panel with the castors pointing forwards to the outside of the heater, then securely fasten the castor plate onto the heater with the two screws.

Assembling GOC127, GOC1211

IMPORTANT: Please fit the wheel assemblies as per the diagram. Any other position may affect the stability of the heater.

1. Carefully turn the heater upside-down on a non-scratching and stable surface to prevent damage to the paint finish or your floor surfacing.
2. Fit the castors to the castor plates by placing each castor onto the spindle and pressing in until it clicks into place. This will require quite a lot of force.
3. Fit the castor’s plates onto the heater by placing a U-shaped bolt between the outermost fin away from the control side of the heater. Place one of the castor plates onto the U-Bolt and secure it with the wing nut. Repeat for the other castor plate by placing it between the control panel and the second fin.

Operating Your Heater

Always choose a safe location for the heater, keeping in mind the safety precautions outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the unit before use.
Please follow the below instructions.
WARNING: In order to avoid overheating or fire, do not cover the heater.
WARNING: Keep all objects at least 1 meter from the front, sides, and rear 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: Never leave this heater unattended when in use.
Ensure the heater is on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.
Once the heater is in a safe operating position and all switches are in the off position, insert the power plug into the main outlet and switch it on.
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.

HEATER CONTROL PANEL
The control switch positions are:

● Minimum heating
●● Medium heating
●●● Maximum heating

THERMOSTATIC CONTROL

• Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise until you reach the maximum position.
• When the room reaches a temperature that is comfortable for you, slowly turn the knob anticlockwise until the heater just turns off (you will hear a click).
• The heater will now cycle on and off to maintain
• the comfort level you have set.
• Take note of this setting position for future use.

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. For example, if it is 2 pm (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 heater will be ON continuously.
To set a specific time for example:
If you want the heater to be on from 6 pm to 10 pm, 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 three protection devices:

• Tilt Switch – this will automatically turn the appliance off if the appliance is not in the correct operating position.
• 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).

CAUTION: The appliance generates heat during use. 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 main 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.

• Ensure the heater is dry before plugging back into the mains supply.

This appliance cannot be serviced. Do not attempt to dismantle.
There are no user-serviceable parts. For service or repair, contact an authorized electrical service technician.
When disposing of the appliance, follow the regulations concerning the disposal of oil.
