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 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. Locate the wire clamp (A) and remove the winged nut (C). Insert the non threaded

end of the wire clamp into one of the holes in the castor plate (B) as shown. Feed

the threaded end of the wire clamp between the last and second last column ns

ensuring the wire clamp wraps around the column body (sump). Some manipulation

of the plate and clamp will be required. The threaded end should then be passed

through the castor plate and secured using the wing nut.

3. To t the castor to the control end, position the castor plate in position and secure

using the wing bolts (D). There are guides to ensure the correct positioning and

orientation of the caster plate.

4. 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

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:

Turbo fan

The turbo fan is used to boost the heat output and also the airow around the room.

This circulates the heat and results in a reduced heat up time and a more even heat

distribution. The turbo fan is controlled by the switch on the front of the product,

Fig.2.

The turbo can be turned on independently of the heat.

Over time, dust can accumulate on the heater which can eect performance. It is

recommended to clean the unit at least once a month.

1. Turn the unit OFF and disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

2. Remove any dust build up with a soft brush.

3. Wipe the surface of the unit with a soft damp cloth. Mild detergent can be used

for any stubborn marks.

IMPORTANT

The control panel and other parts must not come into contact with water or any

other liquids.

Storage

If not using the unit for an extended period of time. After cleaning please:

• Ensure control switch is OFF and remove plug from the power outlet.

•

Cover the unit and store it upright in a location where it will not receive direct sunlight.

NB- Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight will discolour the unit.
