careful to prevent damage to the cosmetic finish or your floor surfacing.

Attach the feet to the base of the heater using the screws provided, taking care to

ensure that they are located correctly in the bottom of the heater.

Assembly

Operating Your Heater

Always choose a safe location for the heater, keeping in mind the safety precautions

outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the unit before use. Please

follow the below instructions.

WARNING: In order to avoid overheating or fire, do not cover the heater.

WARNING: Keep all objects at least 1 metre from the front, sides and rear

of the appliance.

WARNING: Do not use this heater with a programmer, separate timer,

remote-control system or any other device that switches the heater on

automatically, since a fire risk exists if the heater is covered or positioned

incorrectly.

Ensure heater is on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.

Once the heater is in a safe operating position and all switches are in the off

position, insert the power plug into the mains outlet and switch on.

partially pull the plug from the socket. A partially inserted plug will overheat

the plug and socket and could result in fire.

Note: When the appliance is turned on for the first time, it may release a

slight odour or smoke. This odour or smoke is a normal occurrence caused by

the initial heating of the internal heating elements and should not occur

again.

TIMER

The appliance will always be on when the slide switch is in the “I” position.

The appliance will always be off when the slide switch is in the “O” position.

To set the Timer;set the MODE switch to the Timer position.

(This function can only be used once a heat level has been selected ; see thermostat

section).

You must set the time prior to programming the Timer.To do this; turn the outer dial

of the timer in a clockwise direction until the time of the day (24-hour clock)

corresponds with the triangular marking. Example if it is 2pm (1400 hours) then set

the triangular mark in line with 14. One complete turn of the dial corresponds to 24

hours.

There are 96 “riders”, positioned around the dial, each rider represents 15 minutes.

Where all the “riders” are pushed to the outside of the timer the appliance will be ON

continuously.

To set a specific time for example:

If you want the appliance to be on from 6pm to 10pm, then set all the riders from 18

to 22 (1800 hours to 2200 hours) to the outside of the rim and all other riders to the

inside of the timer. The unit will then turn on automatically at 6pm and off again at

10pm.
