Electrical Connection
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED
This heater must be used on an A.C. ~ supply
only and the voltage marked on the heater must
correspond to the supply voltage.
The use of an extension lead or multi-plug adaptor
is not advised when connecting this product to the
mains. Connection through these devices could lead
to a risk of overloading, overheating and even fire
at the extension lead or adaptor due to inadequate
connection quality.
Using the heater
WARNING: DO NOT USE THE HEATER UNTIL
THE FEET 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.
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.
WARNING: THE HEATER SHOULD NEVER BE
USED AS A PORTABLE APPLIANCE WITHOUT
THE FEET SECURELY FITTED.
Lay the heater on its back, locate and remove the
foot fixing screw - see Fig. 2(a). Clip the foot in place
and secure using the foot fixing screw - see Fig. 2(b).
Controls
NOTE: When using the appliance or setting
appliance controls always ensure that the
heater is stood on a firm level base. Do not tilt
the appliance at any time.

Indicator Neon (selected models)
The indicator neon comes on when the appliance is
connected to mains supply.
Thermostat (all models)
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, Gradually turn
the thermostat knob clockwise until the desired
temperature is reached. Allow some time between
increments for the room temperature to stabilise.
Alternatively to heat a cold room quickly, turn the
thermostat knob to the Max position. When the
room has reached the desired temperature, turn the
thermostat knob anti-clockwise until the thermostat
clicks off. The heater will then automatically maintain
this room 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.
Switches (selected models)
Selected models are supplied with selector switches
. There are two switch types, one is an on/off switch
and the other is a heat selection switch. Depending
on model either one or both switch may be included.
The switch operation is as follows.
