Electrical
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
If the socket outlets in your home are not of the 13 amp BS1363 type they will
not accept the plug connected to this heater, therefore cut off the plug. When
cut off this plug can constitute a shock hazard if inserted into a socket
outlet. It must therefore be disposed of safely. Before wiring the appropriate
plug please note that the wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
GREEN/YELLOW
|
EARTH
---|---
BLUE
|
NEUTRAL
BROWN
|
LIVE
Connect the Green/Yellow wire to the terminal marked E or the earth
symbol or coloured Green or Green/Yellow.
Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured Red. Connect the
Blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured Black. DO NOT connect the
Brown (Live) or the Blue (Neutral) wires to the Earth terminal of your 13 amp
plug. If the terminals of the plug are unmarked or you are in any doubt,
consult a qualified electrician.
Positioning the Heater
Select the position for the radiator ensuring there is clearance from any
furniture and fittings of at least 450mm above the heater and 150mm each side.
The radiator 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 use, insert the plug in the socket and switch to “On” (see Figs.3 & 4).
OFRB7 includes a neon indicator which illuminates when the appliance is
switched on.
Controls
Thermostat (see Fig.2)
The Thermostat (see Fig.2) 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.
Fan Heater (OFRB14) (see Fig.3)
To accelerate room heating, a fan heater can be switched on;
