General
The radiator is designed for operation on an AC electricity supply, and is
suitable for use in domestic dwellings and similar indoor locations.
Always ensure that the appliance is stood on a firm, level base near to, but
not directly beneath, a suitable fixed socket outlet.
The radiator is fitted with castors and a handle for ease of movement. Selector
switches provide a choice of heat output and an adjustable thermostat enables
the room temperature to be controlled accordingly. It is supplied with a cord
and plug ready for use. The supply cord should be uncoiled before use (see
'Storage'). DO NOT pull the radiator along by the mains lead.
Important: The radiator must only be operated with the wheels and castors
fitted and in the upright position as shown in Fig.1 and Fig.3B.
Warning: The heater complies with stringent safety standards but to ensure
efficient operation surfaces of the heater will become hot and contact with
these areas should be avoided, particularly between the fins on the top and
sides. The control panel area is designed to be at a far lower temperature to
allow the safe operation of the controls at any time.
Electrical
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
This heater must be used on an AC~ supply only and the voltage marked on
the heater must correspond to the supply voltage. Do not switch the appliance
on until properly installed. Please read all the safety warnings and operating
instructions before use. If you use this heater in conjunction with a thermal
control, programme controller, timer or any other device which switches the
heater on automatically observe all safety warnings at all times.
Fitting the castors
The castors can only be fitted between the outer fins (as shown in Fig. 2).
Turn the radiator upside down on a carpet or other soft surface to avoid
damage.
WARNING: The radiator is heavy, ensure that it is supported to prevent it
from toppling. Ask a second person to help with this if necessary. Locate
the wire clamps and remove the winged nuts (see 'C') in Fig.3A. Insert the
non-threaded end of the wire clamp 'A' into one of the holes in the castor
plate 'B' as shown in Fig.3A, at the same time tilting the opposite end of the
plate slightly. Lower the castor plate and insert the threaded end of the clamp
through the fins and over the boss and into the other hole in the castor plate.
Place the winged nut 'C' on the thread and tighten it securely.
Repeat the process for the other castor bracket onto the last fin.
Note: The 9 and 11 fin column radiator models - use straight castor brackets
and must be fitted as shown in Fig.2.
Lift the radiator clear of the floor, then turn it back upright and stand it on its
castors as shown in Fig.1 and Fig.3B. It is now ready for use.
Positioning the Heater
Select the position for the radiator ensuring there is clearance from any
furniture and fittings of at least 300mm above the heater and 150mm each
side. The radiator should only be operated on a flat stable surface.
Operation
Important: Objects or clothing must not be placed on this heater. Before using
the heater ensure that all warnings and instructions have been read carefully.
To bring the heater into use plug it in. Neon indicating lights located at the
controls area will cycle on and glow when the appliance is heating.
Controls
Thermostat (see Fig.4)
The Thermostat (see Fig.4) controls the heat output according to the room
temperature. This ensures that the heater will not produce heat unnecessarily
