Wall Mounting (Optional)

If you choose to wall-mount the heater, ensure you have the appropriate tools and follow these general steps. Specific instructions for wall mounting may vary slightly depending on the wall type and included hardware.

1. Identify a suitable wall location, ensuring it is away from combustible materials and has a power outlet nearby.
2. Mark the drilling points on the wall according to the heater's mounting brackets.
3. Drill holes and insert wall plugs.
4. Secure the mounting brackets to the wall.
5. Carefully attach the heater to the wall brackets, ensuring it is firmly in place.

Operating Instructions

This convector heater features adjustable power settings and a thermostat for precise temperature control.

Powering On and Off

1. Plug the heater into a standard 240 Volt electrical outlet.
2. Locate the power control knob(s) on the side of the unit.
3. Turn the knob(s) to select the desired power output:
   • 1250W: For lower heat output and energy saving.
   • 2500W: For maximum heat output and faster room heating.
4. To turn off the heater, set the power control knob(s) to the 'OFF' position and unplug the unit from the wall outlet.

Adjusting the Thermostat

1. Once the heater is powered on, locate the thermostat control knob.
2. Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to increase the desired temperature setting, or counter-clockwise to decrease it.
3. The heater will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature. When the room reaches the desired temperature, the heating elements will switch off. They will switch back on automatically if the room temperature drops below the set level.

Note: The thermostat does not control the fan (as there is no fan in a convector heater) but regulates the heating elements based on the ambient temperature.

Maintenance and Care

Regular cleaning and proper care will ensure the longevity and efficient operation of your heater.

• Always unplug the heater and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces of the heater. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Do not immerse the heater in water or spray water directly onto it.
• Periodically check the power cord and plug for any signs of damage. If damaged, do not use the heater and contact customer support.
• For storage, keep the heater in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in its original packaging.
