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 and 300mm

from the sides 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.

WARNING:Never leave this heater unattended when in use.

WALL MOUNTED HEATERS ARE ONLY TO BE MOUNTED ON WALLS THAT

COMPLY WITH CURRENT AS/NZS SPECIFICATIONS & BUILDING REGULATIONS

Note: Do not run power cord behind the heater.

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.

CAUTION: Ensure the power cord is not tight because if pulled it may

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

Operating Your Heater

Your Panel Heater will provide background warmth. This Panel Heater is designed to

take the chill off the room.

The surface of this Panel Heater can be painted with good quality paint (acrylic or

enamel).

Decorating tip: All wall mounted heaters may cause paint to discolour or

wallpaper to lift.

HEATER CONTROL

Use the On/Off switch on the top right hand side of the heater to turn your heater on

and off.

A.Power Switch

B.Control Panel

C.Screw Bolt Cap

D.Heater Body

E.Temperature Sensor

F.Digital Temperature Display

SETTING THE THERMOSTAT

IMPORTANT: The temperature sensor (E) needs to be pulled out approximately

35mm to better read the ambient temperature.

When you first turn the heater on, the digital display will default to number 06. Within

a few seconds it will switch to the number that is closest to the current ambient room

temperature.

The most effective way to set the temperature, is to press the ‘plus’ button until the

digital display reads 10. Within a few seconds the digital display will revert back to the

number that is closest to the current ambient room temperature. But the setting will

have been stored in the memory.

The heater will start to work and the digital display will start to increase from default

06 setting to 10 setting (max). Depending on other influences (open doors, size of

room, house insulation, outside temperature) this could take some time.

The temperature will continue to rise. When you are comfortable with the

temperature in your room, take note of the digital display reading (e.g. 07) and then

using the ‘minus’ button, reduce the thermostat to that number. The heater will now

cycle on and off to maintain the number you have set.

Note:If you turn the heater off the temperature will revert to the default (06) and you

may need to follow the process above again when you turn the heater back on.
