OVERHEATING WARNING
WARNING – In order to avoid overheating, do not cover or obstruct the heater.
Do not place material or garments on the heater, or obstruct the air circulation around the heater, for instance by curtains or furniture, as this could cause overheating and a fi re risk.
NEVER cover or obstruct in any way the heat outlet slots at the top of the heater or the air outlet slots in the base of the heater.
Do not place objects within 300mm of the front of the heater and 150mm either side.
- The outer case of the heater will be cooler to touch than a conventional storage heater. This is because less heat is ‘lost’ through the case, making more heat available from the fan outlet when needed.
- Nothing may be placed in the 300mm (1 foot) in front of the heater at any time. This is to avoid items coming into contact with the grilles and the heated air which leaves it. Blocking some or all of this area could represent a fi re hazard.
- You do not need to decide how much heat to store. Simply set the timer mode and the temperature to what suits you and leave the heater to meet your requirements.
- Ensure that both supply switches next to the heater are turned on. During the summer when no heat is required, both wall switches can be turned off. Remember to turn both of these back on in Autumn when heat is required again.
- NOTE: If the heater has been turned off at the mains, it may take 2 to 3 days for the heater to acclimatise and reach optimum performance once it receives power again.
How does the heater control work?
The heater control allows you to choose when you want the heating to be on, and at what temperature. To deliver the required heat a low noise fan pushes stored heat from the core into the room.
The periods during which the heater is providing heat are called ‘Comfort On’ (shown at the bottom of the screen). Outside of these periods the heater will not deliver heat and these periods are called ‘Comfort Off’. During the ‘Comfort On’ periods the fan will run to maintain the temperature on the screen. During the ‘Comfort Off’ periods it will not.
Note: there is a delay of up to a minute on the fan operation when switching to ‘Comfort On’ or ‘Comfort off ’. This is normal and does not represent a fault.
Set the time
The time and date are set in the factory and should not need to be amended, however to check that they are correct press Menu, then press the Enter button with Time / Date highlighted. Use the Up and Down buttons until the correct value is shown, then press Enter button to confirm and move on to the next value. Repeat until all details are correct and the main menu screen is showing again, then press Back.
The time is automatically adjusted in Spring and Autumn at the changes between
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and British Summer Time (BST), the heater must be
switched on for this to happen.
It is recommended to check the time every couple of months and adjust if
necessary.
Set the temperature
The temperature shown on the display is the room temperature setpoint. This is
the temperature that the heater will maintain during
the ‘Comfort On’ periods. If the room temperature is above this temperature
then the fan will not operate.
The heater leaves the factory with this temperature set at 21°C which
represents a typical, comfortable room temperature.
If you require a different room temperature use the Up and Down buttons until
the display shows the temperature you require.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO TURN THE TEMPERATURE DOWN OVERNIGHT.
Set the timer mode
Your heater comes preprogramed with three timer modes. User Timer is default.
These modes define the periods when the heater will operate in ‘Comfort On’
mode.
Which timer mode is best for me?
The heater leaves the factory set in User Timer mode. If you are in during the day then you should use this mode. This mode will give you four periods of heating split throughout the day. If you are out during the day and only require heat in the mornings and evenings then Out All Day mode will suit your lifestyle.
If you are away for an extended period then you can use the Holiday mode. This
allows you to reduce the heating during the period that you are away,
reverting to the previously selected mode on the day of your return.
Please refer to the operating instructions for information on how to modify
the programmed times.
Advance
Sometimes you may need to change the way you use your heating temporarily.
This is achieved by using the Advance function. The Advance function allows
you to begin the next ‘Comfort’ mode early.
If the heater is in ‘Comfort Off’ mode and you want heat – press the Advance
button. If the heater is in ‘Comfort On’ mode and you
don’t want heat, press the Advance button. The heater’s change mode will go
off until the beginning of the next ‘Comfort’ period, then go back to the
timed heating periods.
Boost
A boost element controlled by the electronic thermostat is provided if additional room heating is required, for example, due to unusually cold weather. You can select how long the boost will run for, from one to three hours. Once the boost has run for the selected time it will automatically switch off.
Auto Boost will automatically use the boost element to maintain the set temperature during ‘Comfort On’ periods.
Note: The boost element will use Off -peak electricity if available otherwise it will use Peak rate electricity. Use of the boost element could increase running costs.
Activating the Child Lock
In cases where unauthorised persons may tamper with the control settings it is possible to set a tamper-proof feature at the time of installation, by pressing and holding the Back button and the Enter simultaneously for three seconds, ‘Child Lock’ will appear on the screen, repeat to reverse. See the Operating Instructions for further details.
