3. Package Contents

Verify that all items are present in the package:

  • 1 x Goldair Slim 7 Oil Heater
  • Castor wheels (if not pre-assembled)
  • Instruction Manual

4. Setup

  1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the heater and all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for storage if desired.
  2. Attaching Castor Wheels: If the castor wheels are not pre-assembled, turn the heater upside down. Insert the U-shaped bolts into the holes on the base of the heater, then attach the castor wheel assemblies to the bolts. Secure them firmly with the provided wing nuts. Ensure all four wheels are securely attached and the heater is stable.
  3. Placement: Place the heater on a firm, level, and stable floor surface. Ensure it is positioned away from walls, furniture, and any combustible materials. Allow adequate clearance around the heater for proper air circulation.
  4. Power Connection: Plug the heater into a suitable 220-240V AC, 50Hz electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is in good condition and not overloaded.

5. Operating Instructions

Familiarize yourself with the controls before operating the heater.

  1. Power On/Off: Once plugged in, locate the main power switch (usually a rocker switch) on the control panel. Flip it to the 'ON' position to power the unit.
  2. Selecting Heat Settings: The Goldair Slim 7 Oil Heater offers three heat settings. Use the control dial or buttons on the panel to select your desired heat output:
    • Low (1000W): For gentle, continuous heat.
    • Medium (1500W): For moderate heating.
    • High (2500W): For rapid heating of small to medium-sized rooms.
  3. Thermostat Control: Adjust the thermostat dial to your desired room temperature. The heater will cycle on and off automatically to maintain the set temperature, conserving energy once the room reaches the desired warmth. Turn the dial clockwise for a higher temperature and counter-clockwise for a lower temperature.
  4. Safety Tip-Over Switch: In the event the heater is accidentally knocked over, the integrated safety tip-over switch will automatically shut off the power. To resume operation, simply place the heater upright on a stable surface.
  5. Power Off: To turn off the heater, set the heat setting to 'OFF' or turn the main power switch to the 'OFF' position. Unplug the heater from the wall outlet when not in use.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your heater.

  • Cleaning: Before cleaning, always unplug the heater from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely. Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Ensure no water enters the internal components.
  • Storage: When the heater is not in use for extended periods, unplug it and allow it to cool. Store the heater in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging, to protect it from dust and damage.
  • Cord Care: Regularly inspect the power cord for any signs of damage. Do not wrap the cord tightly around the heater when storing, as this can cause damage.
