Operation - TI and TX Timer Models

The slide switch on the timer unit controls the electricity supply
to the heating elements on TI and TX models.

choice of output as desired.
Thermostat Operation

Using the Timer
The heater must be connected to the electricity supply for the
timer to operate. Set the timer by rotating the dial clockwise
until the correct time of day is indicated opposite the datum
mark (located at centre front of the timer - see Fig. 5).
'OFF' Position
Set the timer switch to position. The timer operates but the
heater will not output any heat, as the electricity supply to the
heating elements has been disconnected.
Manual Operation
Set the timer switch to
operate continuously under the control of the thermostat - see
'Thermostat Operation' above.
Automatic Operation
Set the timer switch to
during set 'ON' periods under the control of the thermostat.
To set the timer's 'ON' and 'OFF' periods:
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. 6. Each segment pushed
in switches the heater OFF for that
part of the hour. All other segments
will be 'ON'.
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: On TI models each segment on the timer represents
20 mins.

other respects they are identical in installation and operation

Safety - Overheat protection
For your safety this appliance is fitted with a thermal cut-out.
In the event that the product overheats for some reason, the
cut-out prevents excessive temperatures on the product by
cutting the power to the heater. Once the heater has cooled
down, it will reset automatically, it will continue to cycle on and
off automatically until the reason for overheating is removed.
Cleaning
Before commencing cleaning, unplug the heater and allow
it to cool. Disconnect the electricity supply to the appliance.
The outside can be cleaned by wiping it over with a soft damp
cloth and then dried. Do not use abrasive cleaning powders or
furniture polish, as this can damage the surface finish.
To release heater from the wall bracket for cleaning or
redecoration, depress latch on both brackets (see Fig. 2) and
hinge forward.
