Quick Start Guide 08/80272/0 ISSUE: 3 Series: A

This guide is for quick reference only.

Please refer to the operating instructions for further information.

• The outer case of the XLE heater will be cooler to touch than a conventional storage heater.

This is because less heat is ‘lost’ through the case, making more heat available from the fan

outlet when needed.

• Nothing may be placed in the 300mm (1 foot) in front of the heater

at any time. This is to avoid items coming into contact with the

grilles and the heated air which leaves it. Blocking some or all of

this area could represent a ﬁre hazard.

• You do not need to decide how much heat to store. Simply set the timer mode and the

temperature to what suits you and leave the heater to meet your requirements.

• Ensure that both supply switches next to the heater are turned on. During the summer

when no heat is required, both wall switches can be turned off. Remember to turn both of

these back on in Autumn when heat is required again.

overheating and a ﬁre risk.

NEVER cover or obstruct in any way the

Set the temperature

The temperature shown on the display is the room temperature

setpoint. This is the temperature that the heater will maintain

during the ‘Comfort On’ periods. If the room temperature is

above this temperature then the fan will not operate.

The heater leaves the factory with this temperature set at 21°C

which represents a typical, comfortable room temperature.

If you require a different room temperature use the Up and Down buttons until the display shows the

temperature you require.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO TURN THE TEMPERATURE DOWN OVERNIGHT.

How does the heater control work?

The heater control allows you to choose when you want the heating to be on, and at what

temperature. To deliver the required heat a low noise fan pushes stored heat from the core into the

room.

The periods during which the heater is providing heat are called ‘Comfort On’ (shown at the bottom

of the screen). Outside of these periods the heater will not deliver heat and these periods are called

‘Comfort O ’. During the ‘Comfort On’ periods the fan will run to maintain the temperature on the

screen. During the ‘Comfort O ’ periods it will not.

Note: there is a delay of up to a minute on the fan operation when switching to ‘Comfort

On’ or ‘Comfort o ’. This is normal and does not represent a fault.

Set the time

The time and date are set in the factory and should not need to be amended, however to check

that they are correct press Menu, then press the Enter button with Time / Date highlighted. Use

the Up and Down buttons until the correct value is shown, then press Enter button to conﬁrm and

move on to the next value. Repeat until all details are correct and the main menu screen is showing

again, then press Back.

The time is automatically adjusted in Spring and Autumn at the changes between Greenwich Mean

Time (GMT) and British Summer Time (BST), the heater must be switched on for this to happen.

It is recommended to check the time every couple of months and adjust if necessary.

Advance

Sometimes you may need to change the way you use your heating temporarily. This is achieved by

using the Advance function. The Advance function allows you to begin the next ‘Comfort’ mode early.

If the heater is in ‘Comfort O!’

mode and you want heat – press the

Advance button. If the heater is in

‘Comfort On’ mode and you don’t

want heat, press the Advance button.

The heater’s change mode will go off

until the beginning of the next ‘Comfort’ period, then go back to the timed heating periods.

Which timer mode is best for me?

The heater leaves the factory set in User Timer mode. If you are in during the day then you should

use this mode. This mode will give you four periods of heating split throughout the day. If you are out

during the day and only require heat in the mornings and evenings then Out All Day mode will suit

your lifestyle.

If you are away for an extended period then you can use the Holiday mode. This allows you to reduce

the heating during the period that you are away, reverting to the previously selected mode on the day of

your return.

Please refer to the operating instructions for information on how to modify the programmed times.

Set the timer mode

Your XLE heater comes

pre-programmed with

three timer modes. User

Timer is default.

These modes deﬁne the periods when the heater will operate in ‘Comfort On’ mode.

Timer Mode Description

User Timer (factory default) 11 hours heating per day in four periods

Out All Day 6.5 hours heating per day in two periods

Holiday Set the temperature and date of return from holidays

The three modes are:

Boost

A boost element

controlled by the

electronic thermostat

is provided if additional

room heating is

required, for example,

due to unusually cold

weather. You can select how long the boost will run for, from one to three hours. Once the boost has

run for the selected time it will automatically switch off.

Auto Boost will automatically use the boost element to maintain the set temperature during ‘Comfort•

On’ periods.

Note: The boost element will use Off-peak electricity if available otherwise it will use Peak

rate electricity. Use of the boost element could increase running costs.
