Operating your Appliance

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

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

WARNING: Never leave this appliance unattended when in use.

WARNING: Do not use this appliance with a programmer, remote-control system, separate timer or any other device that switches the appliance on automatically.

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.

POWER SWITCH

Check that the Power Switch at the back of the heater is set to the Off position before plugging the heater in and turning on the mains supply. Turn the Power Switch to the On position.

CONTROL PANEL

ON/OFF BUTTON

This button will turn the heater control panel on.. To turn the unit off, press the On/Off button on the control panel again. Please note: the fan will continue to run for 30-60 seconds to cool the elements. This is normal.

ECO Mode: The heater will run and adjust the power between 750W and 1500W automatically for keeping the ambient temperature around 20 degrees Celsius.

When the heater is in HIGH or LOW modes you can adjust the thermostat by pressing either the "UP" or "DOWN" arrow buttons to set your desired comfort level.

To find your preferred heat setting; Set the thermostat to the maximum setting. When the room reaches a comfortable temperature for you, look at the temperature reading on the heater and then set the heater to this temperature. The heater will now cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.

NOTE: the temperature is read from a thermostat in the heater, for a more accurate reading, position a separate thermometer in another part of the room.
