storage), otherwise the timer clock will stop.
hour clock is used ; e.g. time shown for 4 pm is ‘16’
(16:00hrs).
Setting the auto ON and OFF times
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. 7. Each
segment pushed in switches the heater OFF for that
part of the hour. All other segments will be ON. For
example, Fig. 8 shows the timer set to switch the heater
ON between 7 am and 9 am and between 4 pm and
9.30 pm .
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.
Switching to ‘Auto’
Set the heat selector and thermostat for the heat output
required.
Check that the clock shows the correct time of day. Set
the
I - - 0
slide switch to position marked (see Fig.
7) - the convector will switch ON and OFF according to
the timer settings.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Remember to observe all safety warnings when
operating the heater on auto setting unattended or
attended. If the mains supply to the heater is interrupted,
the timer clock will stop until power is restored ; reset
the time of day
to ensure correct ON and OFF times.
Turbo Fan - see Fig.6
The turbo fan is used to boost the airflow around the
room.
On this model with the
I
/
II
switch at position
I
and the
turbo switch in it’s Off position ( neon off ) there is no
heat output from the convector. With the
I
/
II
switch still
in the
I
position you can have 1kw output but only with
the turbo boost On (neon on). To get an output of 2kW
leave the turbo switch off and set the
I
/
II
switch to
position
II
. (Note 2kw is only possible with turbo Off). To
achieve 3kw output now turn on the turbo switch which
will combine the 2kW setting with a 1kW fan boost setting
to give the total output of 3kw with fan boost.
Note that the fan and the neon on the Turbo switch will
cycle on and off under the control of the thermostat –
see ‘Thermostat’.
Safety – overheat protection
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a thermal
cut-out. In the event that the product overheats, the cut-
out switches the heater off automatically.
To bring the heater back into operation, remove the cause
of the overheating, then unplug or turn off the electrical
supply to the heater for a few minutes.
When the heater has cooled sufficiently, re-connect and
switch on the heater.
Important Notes
Although this heater is manufactured to comply with the
relevant safety standards, certain types of carpets could
become discoloured by the temperatures under a
portable heater. If you are concerned about this, we
recommend that you contact the carpet manufacturer
for guidance. Alternatively, either stand the heater on a
suitable base to shield the carpet or wall-mount it – call
our Helpline for further advice.
You may notice some parts of the element appearing to
be hotter from time to time because of the variable airflow
through the heater. This does not cause a safety hazard.
The heat outlet grille may become discoloured with use
– this is caused by airborne pollution and is not a fault.

IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE
USED IN A BATHROOM
WARNING – DO NOT USE THIS HEATER IN THE
IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS OF A BATH, A
SHOWER OR A SWIMMING POOL.
WARNING – THIS HEATER MUST NOT BE
LOCATED IMMEDIATELY BELOW A FIXED
SOCKET OUTLET.
DO NOT USE THE HEATER UNTIL THE FEET OR
WALL BRACKETS ARE FITTED CORRECTLY.
FOLLOW these instructions carefully.
NEVER cover or obstruct in any way the heat
outlet slots at the top of the heater or the air
inlet slots in the base of the heater.
The heater carries the Warning symbol,
indicating that it must not be covered.
This appliance is not intended for use by
children or other persons without assistance or
supervision if their physical, sensory or mental
capabilities prevent them from using it safely.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
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.
WARNING: In order to avoid a hazard due to
inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out, this
appliance must not be supplied through an
external switching device, such as a timer, or
connected to a circuit that is regularly switched
on and off by the utility.
If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer or its service agent or a
similarly qualified person in order to avoid a
hazard.

mains supply
of 230/240 Volts~.
Wall Mounting
Three identical wall mounting brackets are secured to
the base of the heater with a fixing screw. To wall mount
appliance, first remove the brackets as follows :
Lay the heater on its back. Following the sequence in
Fig. 2
– identify and remove the fixing screw securing
the brackets located beside Mains Cable as shown in
(a), then pull out brackets and rotate them to disengage
them from the slot (b).
Withdraw the brackets from the slot (c).
Select a suitable position on a wall, near to a mains
power socket, making sure that there is
at least
230
mm below the heater and
at least
450 mm above the
heater of unobstructed space. See also ‘Positioning the
heater’.
Fix the two top retaining brackets to the wall, using
suitable fixings at centres indicated – see
Fig. 3
.
Locate the heater on the top brackets and allow it to
hang in place.
Fit the bottom bracket into the slot in the heater and
then fix it to the wall.
Test that the heater is now securely fixed to the wall.
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 also ‘Important Safety Advice’.
Free standing use
NEVER USE THE HEATER FREE STANDING
WITHOUT THE FEET FITTED.
Lay the heater on its back, and locate the foot fixing
screw (see ‘a’ in
Fig. 4
). Remove the screw using an X–
head screwdriver, then align foot over slots and holes in
base (see ‘b’ in
Fig. 3
) and push into slots. Finally take
the foot fixing screw, insert and tighten using a
screwdriver to secure the foot.
NOTE – The wall mounting brackets indicated in
Fig. 4
can be left secured to the base if they are not required.
Using the heater
Plug in and switch on at the wall socket.
The heat output is controlled by the thermostat (see ‘a’
in
Fig. 5
) and see ‘Thermostat’
section below.
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.
Controls
Thermostat - see ‘a’ in
Fig. 5
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 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
‘*’. 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.
Heat Selector Switch - see ‘b’ in
Fig.5
Heat selection is available as an economy feature.
The switch operates as follows:
I - The heater operates with low heat output
II - The heater operates with max. heat output
Timer Operation (see ‘c’ in Fig. 5)
Set the

– This setting allows power to the heater uninterrupted
by the timer settings. The heat selector switch will control
the output (see ‘Using the heater’).
