Convector heaters

Positioning the heater
Always ensure that the heater is stood on a firm, level base near to, but
not directly beneath, a suitable mains supply socket.
Ensure that curtains and furniture are not positioned close to the chosen
position, as this would create a potential fire hazard.
We recommend that the heater should be wall-mounted in rooms where
children may be left unattended.
See also 'Important Safety Advice'.
Free standing use
NEVER USE THE HEATER FREE STANDING WITHOUT THE FEET FITTED.
Lay the heater on its back,
and locate the foot fixing
screw (see 'a' in Fig. 3).
Remove the screw using an
X–head screwdriver, then
align foot over slots and holes
in base (see 'b' in Fig. 3) and
push into slots until the foot
clips into place. Finally take
the foot fixing screw, insert
and
tighten
using
a
screwdriver to secure the
foot.
NOTE – The wall mounting
brackets indicated in Fig. 3
can be left secured to the
base if they are not required.

Using the heater

Plug in and switch on at the wall socket.
On models with a timer clock, the clock will operate all the time that the
heater is connected to the mains supply, regardless of the setting of the
heat selector switch. Set the timer control switch as required for OFF,
Manual or Automatic operation – see 'Timer Operations'.
The heat output is controlled
by the thermostat - see
'Thermostat'.
Please note – the element has
been coated with a protective
film which will burn off during
the first few minutes of use
and may cause a small
amount of fuming. This is quite
normal – the fumes are non-
toxic
and
will
quickly
disappear.
We recommend that you open
a window to ventilate the
room when using the heater
for the first time.
Controls
Thermostat
The thermostat controls the heat output according to the room temperature.
This ensures that the heater will not produce heat unnecessarily when
the room is warm.
To set the temperature you require, turn the thermostat knob clockwise
until the desired temperature is reached. Alternatively to heat a cold room
quickly, turn the thermostat knob up fully.
When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat
knob anti-clockwise until the thermostat just clicks off.
The heater will now automatically operate at this temperature.
The thermostat also has a frost protection setting marked '*'. This setting
is useful in areas such as garages to prevent frost damage. If the
thermostat is set to its minimum setting '*', the heater will cycle ON and
OFF to maintain a temperature of approximately 5°C to help protect against
frosty conditions.
Heat Selector Switch
Heat selection is available on both models as an economy feature.
On model 3088T - the switch is a 4 position switch with an Off position
marked 'O' and 3 possible heat settings as follows :
I & II
- The heater operates with low heat output
III
- The heater operates with max. heat output
