Assembly

Screw holes in base of heater Screws in position once fitted to heater

Remove the packaging. Check to ensure that all parts of this heater, cord and plug are not

damaged. Confirm all parts before disposing of carton. Do not leave packaging materials like

bags and staples within reach of children or animals.

1 x Convector Heater

2 x Feet

4 x Screws (taped to one of the feet)

ASSEMBLY

Each foot supplied with this heater (supplied separately in the carton) requires only 2 screws to

attach them securely to the heater. Holes are pre-drilled in the base of the heater.

The screw pack to attach the feet to your heater will be taped to either one of the feet for your

heater, or taped to the plug head.

TIP: Slightly angle the screws into the holes when you insert them. As you tighten them, they will

straighten and secure the feet.

The foot comes with 4 pre-drilled holes. It does not matter which way round you mount them.

The pictures above show the location of pre-drilled holes on the heater base.

WARNING: Heater must not be used without the feet fitted.

This appliance has been supplied with ‘1 way screws’ for permanent

installation of the feet. This is a safety requirement for the New Zealand and

Australian market.

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.

Operating Your Heater

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.

WARNING:Never leave this heater unattended when in use.

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.

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

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.

HEAT CONTROL SWITCHES

“750W” - Low heat

“1250W” - Medium heat

“2000W” - High Heat (750W & 1250W switches together)

THERMOSTATIC CONTROL

1. Rotate thermostat knob clockwise until you reach the

maximum position.

2. When the room reaches a temperature that is

comfortable for you, slowly turn the knob anti-

clockwise until the heater just turns off (you will hear a

click).

3. The heater will now cycle on and off to maintain the

comfort level you have set.

4. Take note of this setting position for future use.

Note: When the thermostat activates you may see a small flash of light (may look like a

spark) from inside the heater. This is normal and there is no cause for concern.

Operating Your Heater

This appliance has two protection devices:

•Resettable Thermal Link - this will automatically disconnect the power to the

appliance at a pre-set overheat temperature. After cooling down it will reset and

power on again. If this occurs, investigate what is causing the appliance to

overheat.
