If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or due to damage, it should be cut off and a replacement fitted, following the wiring instructions shown below. The old plug must be disposed of safely, as insertion into a mains socket could cause an electrical hazard.

WARNING : THE WIRES IN THE POWER CABLE OF THIS PRODUCT ARE COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE: BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE YELLOW AND GREEN = EARTH
If the colours of the wires in the power cable of this product do not correspond with the markings on the terminals of your plug, proceed as follows.

• The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked N or coloured Black.
• The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked L or coloured Red.
• The YELLOW & GREEN wire must be connected to the terminal which is coloured Green.

We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply via a Residual Current Device (RCD).
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any repairs yourself.

DEVIL 6005 (5KW), DEVIL 6009(9KW) AND DEVIL 6015(15KW) UNITS
These heaters MUST be connected to a 400 Volt, 3 PHASE 50Hz supply through a suitably fused isolator switch. They cannot be operated from a single phase supply.

The user should purchase a suitable connecting lead as shown in the diagram below, which is compatible with the appliance socket. The unit requires 5 pins including a master earth pin, and is suitable for AC 380/415v, 50/60Hz with a capacity of 16A/6h (Devil 6005 and 6009) or 32A/6h (Devil 6015) and rated at IP44 class (or better) insulation. A length of 2-3 metres is recommended asgiving mobility to the appliance but without becoming a trip hazard.

The plug incorporates a hood which will secure the cable in position when engaged with the appliance.
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any electrical repairs yourself.

OPERATION

The Devil range of fan assisted electric heaters are suitable for household (Devil 6003 only) or workshop/factory use. They incorporate a thermostat which detects the temperature of the room air and controls the heater to maintain a pre-selected temperature between 0 & 40°C. A manually reset thermal cutout is provided for safety in the event of overheating. If the thermal cut out activates, then turn off the power and disconnect from the power supply. Allow the heater to cool down for several minutes before pressing the reset button. Reconnect to the power supply and turn on to resume operation.

With the heater sited on a firm level surface and at a safe distance from flammable objects (in compliance with all safety precautions), plug the heater into the mains and set the thermostatic control to the maximum temperature setting. Switch the heater on to one of the following power settings. Once the room reaches the required temperature, you should turn the thermostatic control slowly anti-clockwise until the heater switches off. The heater will now start and stop automatically to maintain the room temperature.

3 KW HEATERS
The 3kw heater has three settings for 1) fan only, 2) fan plus single heating element, 3) fan plus both heating elements. The other control is a progressive thermostat which is rotated through 270 degrees. A cutout is used to maintaina constant pre-set temperature.

The thermostat will then switch the heater on and off automatically to control the room temperature according to the pre-set value, maintaining a constant room temperature.
When using the heater to warm a cold room, first turn the thermostat to MAX and run the heater on full power until the room temperature reaches the required value, then turn the thermostat anti-clockwise until it switches off.
When using the heater for the first time a slight emission of smoke may be noticed. This is quite normal and soon stops. It is caused by residual traces of oil remaining on the element from production.
After use, turn the thermostat to the OFF position and the selector switch to the Fan Only position, and leave the unit to cool down for a couple of minutes.

5KW, 9KW &15KW HEATERS
The 5 & 9kw units have a three-position twist control for FAN only, and FAN plus either half or full heat output. The 15kw unit has a four position control;- FAN only, FAN + 1/3, FAN + 2/3 & FAN + full heat output. A thermostatic temperature control is also provided for fine control of heat output at a constant pre-set temperature.

When switching the unit OFF, it is recommended that the unit is run in the FAN ONLY mode for approx. 10 minutes, to cool the heating elements, before switching off completely and finally disconnecting from the mains supply

RESET
Should the heater overheat, a thermal cutout will operate, shutting down the unit. If this happens, allow time for the unit to cool (approx. 10 minutes) before pressing the RESET using a suitable tool, and restarting the heater.
The thermal cutout may also operate if the heater is shut down without allowing to cool sufficiently. If subsequently, the heater fails to start, press the RESET using a suitable tool and try again.

MAINTENANCE

If the heater has been used, ALWAYS allow it to cool down for at least 10 minutes (by switching the heater off, but leave the fan running). Always disconnect from the mains supply before performing any maintenance tasks.
PERIODICALLY

1. Use compressed air to clean out the unit. Always wear a dust mask to perform this operation.
2. If there is any serious build up of dirt, wipe thoroughly with a damp cloth. Take care that no moisture enters the heater.
3. Inspect the mains cable for damage. Heat damage will cause the cable to stiffen and crack. If this is found, have the cable replaced. Check the cable routing and ensure it is well away from the heat source.
4. Ensure the heating elements are clear of dust (use compressed air to clean the heater if possible).
5. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts, most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents.
6. Refer to your Clarke dealer if internal maintenance is required. The unit is fitted with tamper-proof screws to discourage users from dismantling the heater.
7. When storing the heater, allow it to cool down, and return it to its own packaging for storage in a dry, well ventilated place.
