OPERATIONS

1. Turn the thermostat in a clockwise direction to the maximum position and set both switches to ON. The indicator light will glow. This will set the column heater to HI, producing the maximum amount of heat possible and will reduce the amount of time it takes to initially warm up the room. For units fitted with timer, check timer settings as per instructions below. The timer must be set before the unit will operate, or the timer bypass switch must be set to "I" to bypass the timer. NOTE: If the timer bypass switch is set to "O" then the heater will not operate. The Heat switches will not operate.

2. A range of heat settings is available. Switch position I for minimum heat settings (approx 40% max). Position II for intermediate heat settings (approx 60% max). Position I and II for maximum heat settings. (Position 0 switches the unit OFF)

3. As the room warms up, you may wish to decrease the heat level or simply maintain a comfortable room temperature. To do this, turn the thermostat down to lower number. The heat will cycle on and off to maintain the desired room temperature. Turn one of the heat switches off to conserve the power. This will set the heat elements to low or medium, but will increase the amount of time it takes to reheat. On really cold days this may not be practical, as heat losses can exceed the heat generated by our column heater. Larger rooms and open space areas may also find the medium heat setting ineffective.

You will need to experiment with this column heater to establish the exact setting required for any particular room or space. The table shows power consumption for all switching combinations.

Timer Instructions (ONLY APPLICABLE FOR MODEL NO. HOIL11T & HOIL11FT)

The timer face consists of a moveable numbered band with moveable pins and a fixed centre plate. When the moveable pins are slid towards the centre plate the timer is OFF and when slid towards the outer numbered band the timer is ON. Each pin corresponds to 15 minutes operation. A switch is fitted to bypass the timer if required.

1. Rotate the timer dial until the current time is opposite the pointer.
2. Slide the pins corresponding to the required ON time towards the outer numbered band.
3. The pins corresponding to the required OFF time are slid towards the inner band.
4. To operate under timer control, slide the bypass switch to the "∅" position.
5. To bypass the timer, slide the bypass switch to the "I" position.
6. To disconnect power to the heater slide the bypass switch to "O"

EXAMPLE:

Suppose it is now at 7:00AM. Rotate the timer until "7" is opposite to the pointer (i.e. Position A).

For operation between 8:00AM and 3:00PM, slide the bypass switch to "☐", all the pins between "8" and "15" are slid towards the outer band and those between "15" and "8" are slid towards the inner band.
