WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

Fitting The Castors

WARNING The radiator must only be operated with the wheels and castors tted

and in an upright position. The castors must be tted to the control panel and on the

bracket between the last and second last n on the opposite end, as shown in Fig.1.

1. To t the castors, 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.

2. To t the castors, position the castor plates (A) in position and secure using the

wing bolts provided (B). There are guides to ensure the correct positioning and

orientation of the caster plate.

3. Return the radiator to the correct orientation so it rests on the castors. The

product is now ready for use.

Fig. 1

Positioning

Select the position for the heater ensuring there is clearance from any furniture and

ttings of at least 300mm above the heater and 150mm each side and 300mm from

the control and end panel. We recommend maximising the clearance where possible.

NOTE: The radiator is designed for operation on an AC electricity supply, and is only

suitable for domestic use and similar indoor locations.

Tips

• The radiator is tted with castors and a handle for ease of movement.

• A rotary selector switch provides the ability to choose an available heat output

and an adjustable thermostat enables the room temperature to be controlled

accordingly.

• Once the castors have been correctly tted, no other assembly is required, just

plug and play!

Safety Features

This appliance incorporates a number of safety devices. In addition to the ‘Important

Safety Advice’ section your attention is drawn to the following;

Tilt Switch

The tilt switch will prevent the heater from working if it is accidentally tipped over on

its side.

If the radiator is tipped over while it is hot, disconnect the power and allow it to cool,

then stand the radiator back upright. Reconnect the power - normal operation should

be resumed.

Overheat Protection

The heater is tted with a temperature limiter which will reduce the output of the heater

should it overheat for any reason. The product will return to normal operation after the

cause of the over heating has been rectied.

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 activate the heater simply plug it in. Neon indicator lights located at

the control area will illuminate when the appliance is plugged into the mains. This

indicates the appliance is energised and ready to use.

Please note – The element has been coated with a protective lm which will burn o

during the rst few minutes of use, this 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 rst time.

CONTROLS

Fig. 3

Operation

Thermostat

The Thermostat, see Fig.2 controls the heat output according to the room

temperature. This ensures that the heater will not produce heat unnecessarily when

the room is warm.

1. 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.

2. When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat

knob anti-clockwise until the thermostat just clicks o. The heater will now

automatically operate at this temperature.

3. 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 o to maintain a temperature of

approximately 5° to help 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.

Heat Selector Switches (see Fig.3)

Heat selection is provided via a rotary switch oering four settings. The heat output

can be altered to suit the application, conditions and for improve the economy of

operation.

Available output options are as follows:

Timer model

ELECTROMECHANICAL TIMER (Ti models)

Setting the time of day

To set the time of day, rotate the timer dial clockwise (indicated by the arrow) until the

correct time of day is opposite the reference mark

see

Fig.4. The 24-hour clock is

used; e.g. time shown for 4pm is '16' (16:00hrs).

Operation Modes

Set the operation mode using the slide switch on the timer - see Fig.5:

Position I - Manual operation

This setting allows power to the heater uninterrupted by the timer settings. The

heat selector switch and thermostat will control the output (see 'Controls').

Position - 'Auto' operation

This setting allows the heater to be switched ON and OFF according to a set 24

hour program period.

DO NOT disconnect this heater from the mains supply unless it is being taken out of

use (e.g. in summer or for storage), otherwise the timer clock will stop.
