Electrical connection

WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

This heater must be used on an ~ supply only and the voltage marked on the heater must correspond to the supply voltage.

This heater is fitted with a rewireable plug incorporating a

13 amp fuse. In the event of replacing the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp fuse approved by ASTA to BS 1362 must be used. If any other type of plug is used, a 15 amp fuse must be fitted in the plug, the adaptor, or at the distribution board.

IMPORTANT : If the plug is not suitable for your socket, the 13 amp plug should be removed. Before wiring the appropriate plug, please note that the wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code :

Ensure that curtains and furniture are not positioned close to the chosen position, as this would create a potential fire hazard.

Product Assembly

WARNING: THE HEATER SHOULD NEVER BE USED

WITHOUT THE FEET SECURELY FITTED.

Fig. 2(a) . Clip the foot in place and secure using the foot fixing screw - see Fig. 2(b) .

Controls

Fig. 3

Thermostat (all models)

The thermostat 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, Gradually turn the thermostat knob - see Fig. 3 clockwise until the desired temperature is reached. Allow some time between increments for the room temperature to stabilise.

Alternatively to heat a cold room quickly, turn the thermostat knob to the Max position. When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob anticlockwise until the thermostat clicks off. The heater will then automatically maintain this room 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°C to help protect against frosty conditions.

Using the heater

WARNING: DO NOT USE THE HEATER UNTIL THE

FEET ARE FITTED CORRECTLY.

The product is intended for occasional use as a portable unit. Please ensure the feet are securely fitted before the product is used. Once the feet have been installed simply plug in and switch on at the wall socket.

Please note – the element has been coated with a protective film which will burn off during the first few minutes of use and may cause a small amount of fuming. This is quite normal – the fumes are non-toxic and will quickly disappear.

We recommend that you open a window to ventilate the room when using the heater for the first time.

Safety – overheat protection

For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a thermal cut-out.

In the event that the product overheats, the cut-out switches the heater off automatically.

To bring the heater back into operation, remove the cause of the overheating, then unplug or turn off the electrical supply to the heater for a few minutes.

When the heater has cooled sufficiently, re-connect and switch on the heater.

Important Notes

Although this heater is manufactured to comply with the relevant safety standards, certain types of carpets could become discoloured by the temperatures under a portable heater. If you are concerned about this, we recommend that you contact the carpet manufacturer for guidance.

Alternatively, either stand the heater on a suitable base to shield the carpet – call our Helpline for further advice.

You may notice some parts of the element appearing to be hotter from time to time because of the variable airflow through the heater. This does not cause a safety hazard.

The heat outlet grille may become discoloured with use – this is caused by airborne pollution and is not a fault.
