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 required setting 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 '
useful in areas such as garages, to prevent frost damage. If the
thermostat is set to its minimum setting '

protect against frost.
Note – Should the heater fail to come on when the thermostat is
at a low setting, this may be due to the room temperature being
higher than the thermostat setting.

the summer, it should be stored in a dry place and preferably
covered to prevent the accumulation of dirt and dust.
