General

The heater is designed for operation on an AC electricity supply and is suitable for use in domestic dwellings and similar indoor locations. Always ensure that the appliance is stood on a firm, level base near to, but not directly beneath, a suitable fixed socket outlet.
The heater is fitted with wheels, castors, and a handle for ease of movement. Selector switches provide a choice of heat output and an adjustable thermostat enables the room temperature to be controlled accordingly. It is supplied with a cord and plug ready for use.
The supply cord should be uncoiled before use (see ‘Storage’).
DO NOT pull the heater along by the mains lead.

Important: The heater must only be operated with the wheels and castors fitted and in the upright position as shown in Fig. 1. Warning: The heater complies with stringent safety standards but to ensure efficient operation surfaces of the heater will become hot and contact with these areas should be avoided, particularly between the air outlet slots on the top and sides.
The control panel area is designed to be at a far lower temperature to allow the safe operation of the controls at any time. Momentary contact with any part of the heater should not cause injury. However aged, infirm persons or young children should not be left unsupervised in the vicinity of the heater. Please Note: After switching the heater on for the first time and after an extended period of non-use a smell may be noticed, this is quite normal, the fumes are non-toxic and will quickly disappear. We recommend that you open a window to ventilate the room when using the heater during this time. Used in an environment where background noise is very low, it may be possible to hear a sound that is related to the element. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.

Electrical

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
CAUTION: If you use this heater in conjunction with a thermal control, program controller, timer or any other device that switches the heater on automatically observe all safety warnings at all times.

Positioning the Heater
Select the position for the heater ensuring there is clearance from any furniture and fittings of at least 300mm above the heater and 150mm on each side. The appliance should only be operated on a flat stable surface.

Operation

Important – Objects or clothing must not be placed on this heater. Before using the heater ensure that all warnings and instructions have been read carefully.
To bring the heater into use plug it in. Neon indicating lights located at the control area will glow when the appliance is heated.

Controls

On/Off button – This button controls the electricity supply to the elements. When the On/Off button is activated a neon light ‘x’ illuminates below the control button.

Thermostat (CDE2TI(B) models only) The Thermostat (see ‘T’ in Fig. 3) controls the heat output according to the room temperature. This ensures that the heater will not produce heat unnecessarily when the room is warm. To set the temperature you require, turn the thermostat knob clockwise until the required setting is reached. Alternatively, to heat a cold room quickly, turn the thermostat knob up fully. When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise until the thermostat just clicks off. The heater will now automatically operate at this temperature. The thermostat also has a frost protection setting marked ‘ ’. This setting is useful in areas such as garages, to prevent frost damage. If the thermostat is set to its minimum setting ‘ ’, the heater will cycle on and off to maintain a temperature of approximately 5° to help protect against frost.

Note : Should the heater fail to come on when the thermostat is at a low setting, this may be due to the room temperature being higher than the thermostat setting.

Heat Selector Switches (CDE2TI(B) models only)
Mono and Dual Panel Heat Settings
Selector switches located on the control panel provide a choice of Half Heat or Full Heat output to suit varying conditions and for economy of operation.

Half Heat Setting – left-hand side – This switch as shown in Fig. 3 provides half heat output when activated. When it is activated a neon light ‘x’ illuminates below the control button and the left hand side element turns on.
Half Heat Setting – right-hand side – This switch as shown in Fig. 3 provides a half heat output when activated. When it is activated a neon light ‘x’ illuminates below the control button and the right hand side element turns on.
High Heat Setting – With both switches activated (see Fig. 3) the maximum output of the heater can be achieved. When both switches are activated neon lights ‘x’ below each control button illuminate. Note: The heater will only operate when the On/Off button is activated.

Digital Timer Operation (see ‘z’ in Fig. 3 & Fig. 4) (CDE2TI(B) models only)

The Advance Function
When in ‘AUTO’ MODE, if the ‘+’ button is pressed for longer than 2 seconds the program will ADVANCE to the next setting programmed and will only revert to the program when the subsequent program time is reached. When the ‘ADVANCE’ function is running the ‘ADVANCE’ segment will be displayed on the LCD screen. If the ‘-’ button is pressed when the ‘ADVANCE’ program is running the ‘ADVANCE’ feature will be automatically canceled and the program will run as normal.

Note: Timer Memory Back-Up Batteries – Once the heater has been left plugged in with the socket switched on for at least 72 hours the timer’s memory backup batteries will be fully charged.
Once the timer batteries are fully charged, if there is a power cut or if the heater is disconnected from the mains for less than six months, then the timer will continue to keep time & the settings in the memory will remain intact.
If however the timer backup batteries have not been charged fully, or if the heater is deprived of power for longer than six months, then the time and the program settings are likely to be lost and you may therefore need to reset the time and the program before using the AUTO MODE again.
Electronic Climate Control – see Fig. 2 (CDE2ECC(B) & CDE24ECC(B) models only)

Operation

The electronic control allows MANUAL and AUTO operation.
In MANUAL ON mode there are three heat settings:
