Using the heater
WARNING: DO NOT USE THE HEATER UNTIL THE FEET OR WALL
BRACKETS ARE FITTED CORRECTLY.
The product can be used as an installed or portable unit. Once the desired
application has been decided upon and the requirements below have been
met the product is ready to be used. Simply plug in and switch on at the
wall socket.
There are various control options available with various combinations
comprising of thermostat, switched, timer & indicating neons. 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.
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 'Important Safety Advice'.
If young children, the aged or infirm are likely to be left in the vicinity of
the heater, we advise that adequate precautions should be taken. We
recommend that a guard be fitted to ensure contact with the heater is
avoided and objects cannot be inserted into the product.
For further information, please contact our guard supplier direct on Tel.
No. 0207 987 1184, or in case of difficulty or for further advice contact the
Customer Helpline.
Wall Mounting
Three identical wall mounting brackets are secured to the base of the
heater with a fixing screw. To wall mount the appliance, first remove the
brackets as follows:
Lay the heater on its back.
Following the sequence in Fig. 1 – identify and remove the fixing screw
securing the brackets located beside the mains cable as shown in (a), then
pull out the brackets and rotate them to disengage them from the slot (b).
Withdraw the brackets from the slot (c).

Using the heater
Plug in and switch on at the wall socket. The mains neon indicator will glow
showing that power is available.
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'.
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
Fig. 1
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 '
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.
On/Off Switch
On the non-timer models the switch
Fig. 2
operates as follows:
O
- The heater is Off
I

Note : The above description of the On/Off switch operation is with the turbo
