when the room is warm. T o set the temperature required, turn the thermostat
knob clockwise until the required setting is reached. Alternatively to heat a
cold room quickly , turn the thermostat knob up fully . When the room has
reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise
until the thermostat just clicks off. The heater will now automatically operate
at this temperature.
The thermostat also has a frost protection setting marked ‘ ’. This setting is
useful in areas such as garages, to prevent frost damage. If the thermostat
is set to its minimum setting ‘ ’, the heater will cycle on and off to maintain
a temperature of approximately 5° to help protect against frost.
Note: Should the heater fail to come on when the thermostat is at a low
setting, this may be due to the room temperature being higher than the
thermostat setting.
Heat Selector Switches (see Fig.5)
Selector switches located on the control panel provide a choice of heat output
to suit varying conditions and for economy of operation.

Safety in use
This appliance incorporates a number of safety devices. In addition to the
‘Important Safety Advice’ section your attention is drawn to the following;
Tilt Switch
The tilt switch will prevent the heater from working if it is accidentally tipped
over on its side. If the radiator is tipped over while it is hot, disconnect the
power and allow it to cool, then stand the radiator back upright. Reconnect
the power - normal operation should be resumed.
Safety Overheat Protection
The heater is tted with a thermal safety cut-out which will switch off the heater
should it overheat for any reason. If the cut-out operates it is the result of
abnormal overheating, and customer services should be contacted for further
advice - see ‘After Sales Service’ .
Storage
If the radiator is not required for long periods, for example during the summer ,
it should be stored in a dry place and preferably covered to prevent the
accumulation of dirt and dust. The supply cord should be neatly coiled around
the cable wrap (see Fig. 1 ) and the plug should be inserted in to the plug pin
holes provided in the cable wrap.
IMPORT ANT
Prolonged storage/mains disconnection periods may cause the timer to lose its
programmed settings and may require reprogramming, see initial operation
