The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Warning
- Do NOT site the appliance in a corner.
- Do NOT handle the appliance with wet hands.
- Do NOT use the appliance in workshops or rooms where excessive dust is generated or present.
- Ensure that nothing is pushed into any aperture of this appliance.
- Do NOT touch outlet grille when the appliance is in use.
- Do NOT cover or restrict any aperture of the appliance when in use.
- Do NOT use the appliance if damaged.
- Do NOT leave the appliance unattended where young children are present.
- If used in a bathroom, the heater is to be installed so that the switches and other controls cannot be touched by a person in the bath or shower.
- Operating temperature range -10 to +40 ºC
- The heater MUST be fully secured in the vertical position before being switched on.
Thermally Operated Cut-Out
The appliance is fitted with a thermally operated cut-out (TOC). This is a
safety device, which switches the heater off if, for any reason, the
appliance overheats. The TOC can only be re-set after the appliance has cooled
down. In order to re-set the TOC, proceed as follows:
- Switch off the appliance and leave for approximately 10 minutes.
- Switch appliance back on and TOC will reset.
- Ensure that the appliance is functioning correctly. If the TOC control operates again, the appliance should be checked by a competent electrician. The heater carries a ‘Do Not over’ label to warn the user that if the appliance is covered, there is a risk of overheating.
Cleaning
Always disconnect the heater from the mains before cleaning. The heater should
not require any maintenance, but it is strongly advised that it is kept clean.
An occasional wipe-over with a soft cloth is all that should be necessary.
- Do NOT use metal or furniture polish on any part of the heater.
- Do NOT touch the heater with wet hands or in any way bring water into contact with it.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
If Your Heater Does Not Work
- Check that power is available to the heater.
- Check that the thermal cut-out has not operated. Follow the reset instructions given under the section headed ‘Thermally Operated Cut-out’.
- Check that the fuse in the spur unit has not blown. This can be done by replacing the fuse with another suitable fuse. Should none of the above remedies work, then telephone the helpline number shown in these instructions (UK ONLY). Do not attempt to repair the heater.
Connection to the Main Supply
Electrical installation should be carried out by a competent installer,
preferably registered with NICEIC (National Inspection Council for Electrical
Installation Contracting) n accordance with the 17 edition of the IEE Wiring
Regulations, (BS.7671), and any relevant Local Authority Bye-Laws. This heater
is fitted with a 3-core mains supply cable nd must be permanently connected to
the electricity supply via a double pole switch having a 3mm gap on each pole.
There are no exceptions. A switched Fused Connection unit o BS.1363. Part
4 is a recommended mains supply connection accessory to ensure compliance with
safety requirements applicable to the fixed-wiring installation.
Note: When witched on for the first time the appliance may emit a slight
smell. This is purely the evaporation of a fluid used in the manufacturing
process.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.

10. Open Window Detection
Ensuring you don’t waste energy on heating the outside world, the heater is
equipped with optional open/closed window detection. The heater recognizes
sudden drops in temperature when a window or a door is opened and turns the
heating off to save energy. When the window is closed, the heater will
automatically detect a temperature rise, and switch itself back on. Once
enabled in the setup menu, the open window detection is fully automatic and
does not require any human intervention to be activated.
Setting-up Open Window Detection
The system has been factory set to the default time and temperature values. If
necessary, all values can be adjusted. When the heating is on, the open window
detection sensor will automatically switch the heater off when it detects a
fall in temperature of 2°C in less than 10 minutes (this temperature can be
changed in menu 7 and time in menu 6). If a temperature rise of 2°C in less
than 30 seconds is detected, the heater will switch itself back on (this
temperature can be changed in menu 9 and time in menu 8).
11. Heat symbol on the display
Every time there is a demand for heat, the display will show the heat icon.

- The display will enter the setup menu.
- . Use TEMP and MODE to change a value.
- Use TIME to scroll between the settings. 01 – temperature calibration The temperature reading has been factory calibrated but if for any reason it needs adjusting (better accuracy required, to suit the different positions in the room, etc.), the reading can be recalibrated in 0.5 degrees steps. 02 – change between degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit 03 – set minimum temperature (3.5 deg = frost protection)
When this is set, the heater will operate in any mode should the room
temperature fall below the set temperature.
04 – set maximum temperature
When this is set, the maximum temperature in any mode cannot exceed the limit.
05 – open window detection 0 = off, 1 = on
06 – 600 – open window detection time 600 seconds
07 – 2 – temperature drop of 2°C in the detection time
08 – 30 – closed window detection time of 30 seconds
09 – 2 – temperature rise of 2°C in the detection time
14. Connection to MRX1
This LST– RF range is compatible with the MRX multi-zone controller. To pair
the LST-RF with the MRX1, set the MRX1 to
pairing mode (see section 10 of MRX User Instructions).
