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.

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 mark
(see Fig. 7). The 24-hour clock is used ; e.g. time shown for 4 pm is '16'
(16:00hrs).

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.

Position
- Heating Off
Position I - Manual operation
This setting allows power to the heater
uninterrupted by the timer settings. The
heat selector switch will control the output
(see 'Controls').
Position
- 'Auto' operation
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.
To set the timer :
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.
8. Each segment pushed in switches the
heater OFF for that part of the hour. All
other segments will be ON. For example,
Fig. 9 shows the timer set to switch the
heater ON between 9.00am and 4.00pm
and between 9.30pm and 7.00am.

Turbo Fan models
- see Fig. 11
(3087ST & 3088T)
The turbo fan can be used to circulate the heat around the room to help it
reach the desired temperature more quickly.
On all turbo models with the heat
selector switch at max. setting
(3kw
operation)
the
fan
automatically switches on to
override the operation
of the Turbo On/Off neon
switch.
This
permanent
operation of the fan at maximum
heat setting ensures more
efficient operation and heat
circulation
around the room.
Model 3088T
On this model you can choose to use the fan to help circulate the heat at
lower heat settings by switching the Turbo switch on with the heat
selection switch at setting I or II .
In warm weather you can also use the fan on these models to circulate
cool air as follows: Set the heat selector switch to it's off position - 'O' ,
set the Turbo switch to it's on position and set the thermostat to it's
maximum setting by turning the thermostat knob fully clockwise.
Model 3087ST
This model operates as follows:
When the I / II switch is at position I and the turbo switch is in it's Off
position (Neon Off) there is NO heat output from the convector.
When the I / II switch is at position I and the turbo switch is in it's On
position (Neon On) there is 1KW output from the convector.
When the I / II switch is at position II and the turbo switch is in it's Off
position (Neon Off) there is 2KW output from the convector.
When the I / II switch is at position II and the turbo switch is in it's On
position (Neon On) there is 3KW output from the convector.
Note: there is no cold blow operation on this model and that all heat
settings operate under the control of the thermostat.
Note: that on all models the fan and the neon on the Turbo switch will
cycle on and off under the control of the thermostat – see 'Thermostat'.
Safety – overheat protection
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a thermal cut-out. In the event
that the product overheats, the cut-out switches the heater off
automatically.
To bring the heater back into operation, remove the cause of the
overheating, then unplug or turn off the electrical supply to the heater for
a few minutes.
When the heater has cooled sufficiently, re-connect and switch on the
heater.
Important Notes
Although this heater is manufactured to comply with the relevant safety
standards, certain types of carpets could become discoloured by the
temperatures under a portable heater. If you are concerned about this,
we recommend that you contact the carpet manufacturer for guidance.
Alternatively, either stand the heater on a suitable base to shield the
carpet or wall-mount it – call our Helpline for further advice.
You may notice some parts of the element appearing to be hotter from
time to time because of the variable airflow through the heater. This does
not cause a safety hazard.
The heat outlet grille may become discoloured with use – this is caused
by airborne pollution and is not a fault.
Set the heat selector and thermostat for
the heat output required.
Check that the clock shows the correct
time of day. Set the I -
-
to
(see Fig. 10) - the heater will switch
ON and OFF according to the timer settings
(see Fig. 9).
IMPORTANT NOTES
Remember to observe all safety warnings
when operating the heater on auto setting
unattended or attended .
If the mains supply to the heater is
interrupted, the timer clock will stop until
power is restored ; reset the time of day to
ensure correct ON and OFF times.
