ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (U.K. ONLY)

A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted, as below.

WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.

With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be re-fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp

Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the plug.

B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the instructions provided below:

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue:

Brown:

Neutral

Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

C selected temperature room temperature

This heater has Electronic Climate Control which automatically monitors and selects the ideal power setting to maintain your chosen temperature.

If the selected temperature is higher than the actual room temperature, the appliance will start automatically and rapidly heat the room until it reaches the selected temperature. The unit will automatically maintain the temperature at a constant level, by switching between maximum, medium and minimum power.

If the room temperature exceeds the selected temperature level, the appliance will switch off.

Note: The display will always show the power setting you have chosen, not the one it is currently working at.

The appliance will switch on automatically again when the room temperature falls below the selected temperature level.

If medium power level has been selected using the “ MANUAL FUNCTION ” button, the appliance will modulate between medium and minimum power to maintain a selected temperature.

FROST STAT FUNCTION

Press the “ MANUAL FUNCTION ” button (it is recommended to select the maximum power level).

Set the thermostat dial to the “ * ” position (Fig. 1). The display will show 5°C (see figure below).

When set in this way, the appliance will switch on automatically only if the room temperature falls below 5°C, thereby preventing freezing at minimum energy consumption. If the temperature in the room falls below 5 °C the room temperature display will show “ LO ”. This function is not guaranteed in the event of power failures, lasting more than 2 minutes.

WARNINGS

As with any electrical apppliance, whilst the instructions aim to cover as many eventualities as possible, caution and common sense should be applied when operating your heater, particularly in the vicinity of young children.

Do not use the appliance in bathrooms or in the vicinity of showers, bath tubs, wash basins, swimming pools, etc.

Always use the heater in an upright position.

Do not use the heater to dry your laundry. Never obstruct the intake and outlet grilles (danger of overheating).

The heater must be positioned at least 50 cm from furniture or other objects.

When the appliance is used in portable version, do not place it up against walls, furniture, curtains, etc.

If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufactured or an authorized technical service centre.

- The appliance must not be positioned directly underneath a fixed power point.

Do not cover the appliance while it is functioning in order to avoid overheating with the attendant risk of fire.

- Do not use the appliance in rooms less than 4 m 2 in area.

The use of an extension lead is not reccommended, as overheating of the extension lead may occur during the operation of the heater.

The heater is fitted with a safety device which will switch off the heater in case of accidental overheating (eg. obstruction of air intake and outlet grilles, motor turning slowly or not at all). An acoustic signal warns of any problems. To reset, disconnect the plug from the power for a few minutes, remove the cause of overheating then plug the appliance in again.
