IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce

the risk of ﬁre, electrical shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

IMPORTANT: The wall bracket supplied with the appliance must be used.

WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS HEATER IN THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDINGS OF A

BATH, A SHOWER OR A SWIMMING POOL.

IMPORTANT: If the heater is installed in a room containing a bath or shower, it must

be installed so that switches and other controls cannot be touched by a person using

a bath or shower.

Do not use outdoors.

Do not locate the heater immediately below a ﬁxed socket outlet or connection box.

WARNING: In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the heater. Do not place material

or garments on the heater, or obstruct the air circulation around the heater, for instance

by curtains or furniture, as this could cause overheating and a ﬁre risk.

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 a warning ‘DO NOT COVER’ to alert the user to the risk of ﬁre that

exists if the heater is accidentally covered.

CAUTION: Some parts of this product can become very hot and cause burns. Particular

attention has to be given where children and vulnerable people are present.

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and by persons with

reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge

if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a

safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be

made by children without supervision.

Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised. Children

aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall only switch on/o the appliance provided

that it has been placed or installed in its intended normal operating position and they

have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe

way and understand the hazards involved. Children aged from 3 years and less than 8

years shall not plug in, regulate and clean the appliance or perform user maintenance.

Note that due care and consideration must be taken when using this heater in series

with a thermal control, a program controller, a timer or any other device that switches

on the heat automatically, since a ﬁre risk exists when the heater is accidentally covered

or displaced.

If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or service agent

or a similarly qualiﬁed person in order to avoid a hazard.

WARNING: Servicing and product repairs should only be undertaken by the manufacturers

approved service agent or a similarly qualiﬁed person, using only exact manufacturer

approved spare parts.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

The electrical installation must be carried out by a competent electrician, and be in strict

accordance with the current I.E.E. Regulations for Electrical Equipment in Buildings. The

wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

GREEN AND YELLOW: EARTH

BLUE: NEUTRAL

BROWN: LIVE

The heater is ﬁtted with a length of ﬂexible cable type H05VV-F size 3 x 1.0mm2 for

connection to the ﬁxed wiring of the premises through a suitable connection box

positioned adjacent to the heater.

A means for disconnection must be incorporated in the ﬁxed wiring of the premises in

accordance with the wiring rules. The supply circuit to the heater must incorporate a

double pole isolating switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm.

not capable of leaving the room on their own, unless constant supervision is provided.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of ﬁre keep textiles, curtains or any other ﬂammable

material a minimum distance of 1 metre from the air outlet.

Supplementary Earth Bonding

Should Equipotential Earth Bonding be required the earthing conductor in the supply

cord is deemed to provide the supplementary bonding connection (see Regulation

544.2.5, 18th Edition I.E.E. Wiring Regulations).

Please note that lit cigarettes, candles and oil burners, combined with the convection

eect of electric heaters can cause soot deposits to build up on the surface directly

above and to the sides of the heater. This is not a fault of the heater. Extensive burning

of candles or smoking in the operating environment of this product can produce heavy

discolouration within a few months of use.

This product meets the Ecodesign requirements for an electric ﬁxed local space heater. Commission Regulation

Important

During initial heat-up, some odour

may be emitted due to the newness of

materials used in manufacture. This is

normal and will disappear after a short

period of use. It is however advisable

to keep the room well ventilated.

The controls are located on top of the heater. This consists of a display screen and six touch sensitive buttons.

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT

IN INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE.

room temperature.

NOTE:

Your heater may produce some noise during

operation. This noise is caused by the expansion

and contraction of the element as it changes

temperature, and is normal for this type of

product. Whilst the noise produced is usually

very quiet, certain environmental factors can

make it more noticeable, such as hard ﬂooring

or minimal furnishings If you believe that the

expansion noise is excessive, please contact us.

NOTE:

Should the heater fail to operate,

this may be caused by the room

temperature being higher than the

thermostat setting.

The heater controls can be easily adjusted by using the six buttons on the User Interface.

1. The Home Screen shows the options available at each stage of adjustment.

Here the current target temperature (setpoint) is displayed along with the

mode of operation. Any use of the Advance function will be displayed here,

and pressing Enter will show the functions which are enabled.

The currently active mode of operation is displayed at the top of the screen

e.g. ‘Out All Day’ timer.

When the heater is trying to achieve or maintain a room temperature, ‘Heating

On’ will be displayed, otherwise, ‘Heating O‘ will be displayed, during Timer

modes only.

NB: ‘Heating ON / Heating OFF’ will not be displayed in Manual, ECO or

Frost Protect modes.

When the controller buttons have not been pressed for a long period of time, the display will ‘sleep’ and the text will

disappear. The heater is still on and active in whatever Mode it was set to.

2. Menu - Displays the Main Menu;

- Boost – Activate Boost Mode

- Modes - Set the mode of operation.

- Settings – Time/Date, Temperature units etc.

3. Back returns to the previous screen.

4. The Up and Down buttons are used to navigate through the menus and adjust the required room temperature on

the main screen. The screen colour changes based on the temperature selected, showing deep blue through to

bright red.

5. Enter is used to enter sub menus and to conﬁrm actions.

6. The Advance button is only used when a Timer Mode is active, it allows the timer schedule to be changed temporarily

by forcing a Heating On period to begin or end early. For more information, see page 13.

Out All Day

21°C

Heating ON

Timer Modes oer the most ecient mode of operation for a predictable heat demand. Additional functions such as

‘Advance’ and ‘Boost’ allow the User to make temporary adjustments to timer schedules for a more ﬂexible operation.

Each timer is broken down into 4 deﬁnable ‘Heating On’ time periods and temperatures per day, for each day of

the week. Each day consists of a 24-Hour period, starting and

ﬁnishing at midnight.

‘Heating On’ periods are times when the heater is trying to achieve

and maintain the target room temperature.

It is possible to change the Target Temperature of a Heating On

period when that period is active. This will temporarily adjust the

Target Temperature for just that instance and will not permanently

modify the settings for the timer in use.

NOTE:

If Adaptive Start is enabled, the heater will maintain the room at the required temperature

for the duration of the heating period. To achieve this, the heater will begin heating the room

before the start of the heating period to ensure the room is at the required temperature when

the period starts.

If Adaptive Start (AS) is disabled, the heater will not operate until the beginning of the heating

period. This should be taken into consideration when setting the heating periods.

See page 16 for instruction on enabling/disabling Adaptive Start.
