Initial Operation

For initial use, plug the heater into a regular household power
point and turn the power on. The timer is now ready to be set
up for use.
Setting Current Time
1. Hold the 'PROGRAM' button until the clock symbol
appears on the screen. The user can now set the clock.
2. The hour digit will flash. To adjust the hour use the '-' & '+'
buttons. Confirm the hour digit by pressing 'ENTER'.
3. Once 'ENTER' has been pressed the minutes will flash.
To adjust the minutes use the '-' & '+' buttons. Confirm the
minute digit by pressing 'ENTER'.
4. The timer now returns to the default display.
5. To reset incorrect time, repeat previous steps.
Once the correct time is set, a total of four ON/OFF time
programs can be set for operation.
Setting Programmes
Press the 'PROGRAM' key to set the programs.
You are now setting the programs starting with P1 'ON'.
SETTING P1 ON TIME:
1. To set the hour use the '-' & '+' buttons. Confirm the hour
digit by pressing 'ENTER'.
2. To set the minutes use the '-' & '+' buttons. Confirm the
minute digit by pressing 'ENTER'.
Note: The minutes can only be set in 10 minute blocks in
programme 'MODE'.
SETTING P1 OFF TIME:
3. To set the hour use the '-' & '+' buttons. Confirm the hour digit
by pressing 'ENTER'.
4. To set the minutes use the '-' & '+' buttons. Confirm the minute
digit by pressing 'ENTER'.
Repeat steps 1 to 4 to programme P2, P3 & P4. After programming
P4 'OFF' you automatically exit to the default display.
At any time while programming the timer you can press the
'PROGRAM' button to exit to the default display.
Note: If the 'ON' time is the same as the 'OFF' time the appliance
will ignore the program.
The Advance Function
When in 'AUTO' MODE, if the '+' button is pressed for longer
than 2 seconds the programme will ADVANCE to the next
setting programmed and will only revert back to the program
when the subsequent programme time is reached. When the
'ADVANCE' function is running the 'ADVANCE' segment will be
displayed on the LCD screen. If the '-' button is pressed when the
'ADVANCE' programme is running the 'ADVANCE' feature will be
automatically cancelled and the programme will run as normal.
Note - Timer Memory Back Up Batteries - Once the heater has
been left plugged in with the socket switched on for at least 72
hours the timer's memory back up batteries will be fully charged.
Once the timer batteries are fully charged, if there is a power
cut or if the heater is disconnected from the mains for less
than six months, then the timer will continue to keep time & the
settings in the memory will remain intact.If however the timer
back up batteries have not been charged fully, or if the heater
is deprived of power for longer than six months, then the time
and the programme settings are likely to be lost and you may
therefore need to reset the time and the programme before using
the AUTO MODE again.
Electromechanical Timer Operation
models only, see Fig. 6b)
Setting the time of day
To set the time of day, rotate the timer dial clockwise (indicated by
the arrow) until the correct time of day is opposite the reference
(see Fig. 6b). The 24-hour clock is used ; e.g. time shown
mark
for 4 pm is '16' (16:00hrs).

Operation Modes

Set the operation mode using the slide switch on the timer
(Fig. 7):
Position I - Manual operation
This setting allows power to the heater uninterrupted by the
timer settings. The heat selector switch and thermostat will
control the output (see 'Controls').
Position - 'Auto' operation
This setting allows the heater to be switched ON and OFF
according to a set 24 hour program period.
DO NOT disconnect this heater from the mains supply unless it is
being taken out of use (e.g. in summer or for storage), otherwise
the timer clock will stop.
Setting the 'Auto' ON and OFF times
o set the timer :
T
1.
Using your finger tip or the tip of a pencil, push in as
many segments as necessary around the dial, according to
the times you don't require heat – see Fig. 7. Each segment
pushed in switches the heater OFF for that part of the hour.
All other segments will be ON. For example, Fig. 7 shows the
timer set to switch the heater OFF between 11pm and 1.45am
2. You can select as many ON periods as you like, within the
24-hour day. The settings will repeat every day until changed.
3. To change ON and OFF times, simply push in any 'ON'
segments you wish to cancel and pull out new 'ON' segments
as required.
Note: each segment represents 15minute period
Safety in use
This appliance incorporates a number of safety devices. In
addition to the 'Important Safety Advice' section your attention
is drawn to the following;

Tilt Switch

The tilt switch will prevent the heater from working if it is
accidentally tipped over on its side.
If the radiator is tipped over while it is hot, disconnect the
power and allow it to cool, then stand the radiator back upright.
Reconnect the power - normal operation should be resumed.
Safety Overheat Protection
The heater is fitted with a thermal safety cut-out which will switch
off the heater should it overheat for any reason. If the cut-out
operates it is the result of abnormal overheating, and customer
services should be contacted for further advice - see 'After
Sales Service'.
Storage
If the radiator is not required for long periods, for example during
the summer, it should be stored in a dry place and preferably
covered to prevent the accumulation of dirt and dust. The supply
coiled around the cable wrap (see Fig. 1)
cord should be neatly
and the plug should be inserted in to the plug pin holes provided
in the cable wrap.
