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.

WARNINGS

• In order to avoid overheating or fire, do not cover the heater.
• Keep all objects at least 1 metre from the front, sides and rear of the appliance.
• 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.
• 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.

Heat Setting Switch

The heat settings are:

• 0: Off
• I: Low Heat
• II: Medium Heat
• III: High Heat

Check that the power On/Off switch is set to Off position before plugging the heater into the mains supply. For greater economy, use the High Heat setting initially and then switch to the Low Heat setting.

Thermostatic Control

1. Rotate thermostat knob clockwise until you reach the maximum position.
2. When the room reaches a temperature that is comfortable for you, slowly turn the knob anti-clockwise until the heater just turns off (you will hear a click).
3. The heater will now cycle on and off to maintain the comfort level you have set.

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 Protection: This will automatically disconnect the power to the appliance at a pre-set overheat temperature. After cooling down it will reset and power back 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.

Care and Cleaning

The heater requires regular cleaning to ensure trouble-free operation:

• Unplug the heater from the mains supply before cleaning.
• Ensure that the heater has been allowed to cool down completely before cleaning.
• The common cause of overheating is deposits of dust or fluff in the appliance. Ensure these deposits are removed regularly by unplugging the appliance and vacuum cleaning the air vents and grills.
• Use a damp cloth (not wet) to wipe the exterior of the heater to remove dust and dirt.
• Never use solutions such as petrol, thinners or polishing agents.
• Ensure the heater is dry before plugging back into the mains supply.
• Do not attempt to dismantle the heater.
