Assembly Instructions

⚠️ WARNING: Heater must not be used without the feet.

This appliance has been supplied with ‘1 way screws’ for permanent installation of the feet. This is a safety requirement for the New Zealand and Australian market.

Before using this appliance, it must have the feet fitted.

Parts Included:

• Main Body x 1
• Foot x 2
• Remote x 1

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Carefully turn the Main Body upside-down on a scratch-free and stable surface. Be careful to prevent damage to the cosmetic finish or your floor surfacing.

Operating Your Heater

Always choose a safe location for the heater, keeping in mind the safety precautions outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the unit before use. Please follow the below instructions.

⚠️ WARNING: In order to avoid overheating or fire, do not cover the heater.

⚠️ WARNING: Keep all objects at least 1 metre from the front, sides and rear of the appliance.

⚠️ WARNING: Do not use this heater with a programmer, separate timer, remote-control system or any other device that switches the heater on automatically, since a fire risk exists if the heater is covered or positioned incorrectly.

⚠️ WARNING: Never leave this heater unattended when in use.

Ensure heater is on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.

Once the heater is in a safe operating position and all switches are in the off position, insert the power plug into the mains outlet and switch on.

? CAUTION: Ensure the power cord is not tight because if pulled it may partially pull the plug from the socket. A partially inserted plug will overheat the plug and socket and could result in fire.

Note: When the appliance is turned on for the first time, it may release a slight odour or smoke. This odour or smoke is a normal occurrence caused by the initial heating of the heating elements and should not occur again.

HEAT CONTROL SWITCH

• Check that the heat control switch at the back of the heater is set to Off position before plugging the heater in and turning on the mains supply.
• Turn the Power Switch ? [power switch] at the back of the heater to the “I” position. The heater will go into 'Standby' setting and 'Dashes' will be displayed on the control panel screen.

CONTROL PANEL

• Press the Power button on the control panel to turn the heater on, the unit will begin on High Heat.
• The LED will display the current room temperature and the 'H' (high) power setting and the ‘H' indicator will be lit.
• Press the ‘MODE' button ? [mode] and the heater will reduce to operate in 'M' (medium) heat setting.
• Press the “MODE' button again and the heater will operate in 'L” (low) heat setting.
• The corresponding indicator light will display on the control panel screen.

THERMOSTAT

Press the '+' ➕ or '-' ➖ buttons to adjust the temperature to your desired setting (from 15-45°C). Once you have set the desired temperature, the LED will display the room temperature again and will rise as the room temperature increases.

To find your preferred heat setting, set the thermostat to the maximum setting. When the room reaches a comfortable temperature for you, look at the temperature reading on the heater and then set the heater to this temperature. The heater will now cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.

Note: The temperature is read from a thermostat in the heater, for a more accurate reading, position a separate thermometer in another part of the room.

Note: This heater has a safety tip-over switch ? [tip-over]. If the heater is knocked over or tipped more than 15 degrees it will shut off and when put back into the upright position it will have reverted to Standby setting.

To turn off the Timer function, set the Timer back to '0' hours or simply turn the unit off.

REMOTE CONTROL

The remote will operate all of the controls the same as the control panel. The remote control receiver is on the side of the heater under the control panel. This remote requires a CR2025 battery.

Safety Devices

This appliance has three protection devices:

• Tilt switch - this will automatically turn the appliance off if the appliance is not in the correct operating position.
• Resettable thermal link - this will automatically disconnect the power to the appliance at a pre-set overheat temperature. After cooling down it will reset and power on again. If this occurs, investigate what is causing the appliance to overheat.
• Thermal fuse - this disconnects the appliance permanently in case of overheating. (It is non resettable).

? CAUTION: The appliance generates heat during use. Precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, scalds, fires or other damage to persons.
