Safety Features

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.
Overheat Protection
The heater is fitted with a temperature limiter which will reduce the output of the heater should it overheat for any reason. The product will return to normal operation after the cause of the overheating has been rectified.

Parts

Fitting The Castors

1. To fit the castors, turn the radiator upside down on the carpet or another soft surface to avoid damage Warning: The radiator is heavy – ensure that it is supported to prevent it from toppling. Ask a second person to help with this if necessary.
2. To fit the castors, place the castor plates in position and secure them using the wing bolts provided. There are guides to ensure the correct positioning and orientation of the castor plate.
3. Return the radiator to the correct orientation so it rests on the castors. The product is now ready for use.

Operation

Note: When turning on the product for the first time, it may emit a little smoke and smell for a short period. This is normal and will subside.
Position the heater at least 1m from the wall and other surroundings. We recommend maximizing the clearance where possible.
On
Switch the product ON by turning the dial (1) clockwise to the desired heat setting. There are 3 heat settings to choose from, as indicated in the specifications table.
The neon (3) will indicate the heat setting selected.
Thermostat
To set the temperature, turn the thermostat dial (2) clockwise until the required setting is reached. Alternatively to heat a cold room quickly, turn the thermostat dial up fully. To decrease the set temperature, turn the dial anti-clockwise.
Off
To turn the unit OFF, turn the dial (1) to the ‘0’ position

Cleaning

Over time, dust can accumulate on the heater, which can affect performance. It is recommended to clean the unit at least once a month.

1. Turn the unit OFF and disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
2. Remove any dust build-up with a soft brush.
3. Wipe the surface of the unit with a soft damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used for any stubborn marks.
