USING YOUR OIL FILLED RADIATOR

Before connecting your appliance to the main socket, position the appliance upright on the floor, at least 90cm away from the wall, away from curtains, furniture, or wall coverings.
Insert the mains plug into a suitable 13 amp mains socket.
Turn the Power Control to the ‘I’ position. The appliance has 1 power settings.
Power Control Position RHOFR3001
OFF Power OFF Off I Power ON 650W
Turn the Thermostat Control to the desired position. It is recommended to select the highest position to preheat the appliance. It will take 5 -10 minutes for the appliance to fully heat up, the time taken for the heater to heat the room it is located in will be dependent on the size of the room and the ambient temperature of the room. The indicator light will illuminate when the unit is working, but the light will cycle on and off when the thermostat control is set on a low setting and the heater is then maintaining the room temperature. Note: This appliance will not operate if the thermostat has been set too low.
Note: If the thermostat dial is set toward the highest setting and the power control is set to off then the indicator light will not stay illuminated. No heat will be emitted as the power to the heating elements is off.

USING YOUR OIL FILLED RADIATOR

Note: this appliance will not operate if is not placed on a stable surface.
5. When the room reaches the desired temperature, the radiator will cycle off and turn on again when the temperature drops.
6. If the room temperature falls below the desired temperature, the heating elements will turn on again until the room temperature reaches the desired temperature.
Note: This radiator is oil-filled, and will cool down slowly after the power is shut off. Allow the radiator heater to cool prior to any movement, the built-in carry handle should be used for easy movement. Safety Protective Devices – The appliance is fitted with an overheat and tip-over protection system.

Overheat protection – the power to the heating elements will automatically cut off if the temperature of the heating elements exceeds a certain limit. In the event of overheating, the heater will stop operating. Once the appliance has completely cooled the appliance will then resume operating as normal.
Tip-Over Switch – The unit needs to be placed on a flat, firm, and stable surface to ensure that the appliance contacts the floor firmly and the internal tip-over switch is level. If in the event that the unit tips over or are placed on an uneven or super very surface the appliance will not operate.

PROBLEM-SOLVING

My appliance does not work when I turn it on:

Check that your appliance is plugged in and the power is turned on at the mains socket.
Try another mains socket.
Check the appliance is in an upright position.
Check that the thermostat setting has not been set too low.
Check if the Overheat protection has operated by leaving the appliance plugged in and giving it time to cool down. The heater should start to resume operating normally.
If the appliance still doesn’t work, do not try to repair it yourself.

If your appliance power is automatically cut off, follow the step below:

Unplug your appliance from the mains socket and allow it to completely cool down.
Inspect your appliance. Clean the air inlet and air outlet with a vacuum cleaner if necessary. If there are any signs of physical damage (e.g. melting, or burning of the case), do not attempt to use the appliance. Please leave all maintenance work to qualified personnel.
