BASE ASSEMBLY

Before using the heater, the feet must be fitted to the unit. These are to be attached to the base of the heater using the 6 screws provided. Carefully lie the heater on its side and insert the screws, taking care to ensure that they are located correctly in the bottom ends of the plastic mouldings.

USING YOUR CONVECTION HEATER

1. Before connecting your appliance to the mains socket, position the appliance upright on the floor away from curtains, furniture or wall coverings.

2. Insert the mains plug into a suitable 13 Amp mains socket.

3. The appliance has 3 heating elements. Turn the Power Control dial to the required position.

4. Turn the Thermostat Control to the desired position. It is recommended to select the highest position to pre heat 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 maximum setting and the power control is set to off then the indicator light will stay illuminated. No heat will be emitted as the power to the heating elements is off.

5. A small amount of smoke may be produced during first time use or when the appliance has not been used for a long period of time, this is normal and will quickly disappear.

6. When the room reaches the desired temperature, the heater will temporarily go off.

7. If the room temperature falls below the desired temperature, the heating elements will turn on again until the room temperature reaches the desired temperature The appliance is fitted with an over heat 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.

There are 3 operating modes on the timer; Manual operation, Timer operation and OFF. The operation mode is set using the slide switch on the timer

Manual operation (Position – I) – This setting allows power to the product uninterrupted by the timer, however other product controls will continue to function as normal. Timer operation (Position – ) – This setting allows the heater to be controlled by the timer. The product will be switched on and off depending on the pre-set timer program.
