THE HEATER CARRIES THE WARNING SYMBOL INDICATING
THAT IT MUST NOT BE COVERED.
General
The radiator is designed for operation on an AC electricity supply, and is
suitable for use in domestic dwellings and similar indoor locations.
Always ensure that the appliance is stood on a firm, level base near to,
but not directly beneath, a suitable fixed socket outlet.
The radiator is fitted with castors and a handle for ease of movement.
Selector switches provide a choice of heat output and an adjustable
thermostat enables the room temperature to be controlled accordingly. It
is supplied with a cord and plug ready for use.
The supply cord should be uncoiled before use (see ‘Storage’).
DO NOT pull the radiator along by the mains lead.
Important - The radiator must only be operated with the wheels and
castors fitted and in the upright position as shown in Fig.1 and Fig.3B.
Warning – The heater complies with stringent safety standards but to
ensure efficient operation SURFACES OF THE HEATER WILL BECOME
HOT AND CONTACT WITH THESE AREAS SHOULD BE AVOIDED,
particularly between the fins on the top and sides.
The control panel area is designed to be at a far lower temperature to
allow the safe operation of the controls at any time.
Electrical
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
If the socket outlets in your home are not of the 13 amp BS1363 type they
will not accept the plug connected to this heater, therefore cut off the
plug. When cut off this plug can constitute a shock hazard if inserted into
a socket outlet. It must therefore be disposed of safely.
Before wiring the appropriate plug please note that the wires in this
mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN/YELLOW : EARTH
BLUE : NEUTRAL
BROWN : LIVE
Connect the Green/Yellow wire to the terminal marked E or the earth
symbol or coloured Green or Green/Yellow.
Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured Red.
Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured Black. DO
NOT connect the Brown (Live) or the Blue (Neutral) wires to the Earth
terminal of your 13 amp plug. If the terminals of the plug are unmarked
or you are in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Fitting the castors
The castors can only be fitted between the outer fins (as shown in Fig. 2).
Turn the radiator upside down on a carpet or other 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. Locate the wire clamps and remove the winged nuts (see ‘C’)
in Fig.3A. Insert the non threaded end of the wire clamp ‘A’ into one of
the holes in the castor plate ‘B’ as shown in Fig.3A, at the same time
tilting the opposite end of the plate slightly. Lower the castor plate and
insert the threaded end of the clamp through the fins and over the boss
and into the other hole in the castor plate. Place the winged nut ‘C’ on
the thread and tighten it securely.
Repeat the process for the other castor bracket onto the last fin.
Note: The 9 and 11 fin column radiator models - use straight castor
brackets and must be fitted as shown in Fig.2.
Lift the radiator clear of the floor, then turn it back upright and stand it on
its castors as shown in Fig.1 and Fig.3B. It is now ready for use.
Positioning the Heater
Select the position for the radiator ensuring there is clearance from any
furniture and fittings of at least 300mm above the heater and 150mm
each side. The radiator should only be operated on a flat stable surface.
Operation
IMPORTANT – Objects or clothing must not be placed on this heater.
Before using the heater ensure that all warnings and instructions have
been read carefully.
To bring the heater into use plug it in. Neon indicating lights located at
the controls area will glow when the appliance is plugged into the mains.
Controls
Thermostat (see Fig.4)
The Thermostat (see Fig.4) controls the heat output according to the
room temperature. This ensures that the heater will not produce heat
unnecessarily when the room is warm. To set the temperature you require,
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.

At any time while programming the timer you can press the ‘PROGRAM’
button to exit to the default display.
Note: If the ‘ON’ time is the same as the ‘OFF’ time the appliance will
ignore the program.
The Advance Function
When in ‘AUTO’ MODE, if the ‘+’ button is pressed for longer than 2
seconds the programme will ADVANCE to the next setting programmed
and will only revert back to the program when the subsequent programme
time is reached. When the ‘ADVANCE’ function is running the ‘ADVANCE’
segment will be displayed on the LCD screen. If the ‘-‘ button is pressed
when the ‘ADVANCE’ programme is running the ‘ADVANCE’ feature will
be automatically cancelled and the programme will run as normal.
Note - Timer Memory Back Up Batteries - Once the heater has been left
plugged in with the socket switched on for at least 72 hours the timer’s
memory back up batteries will be fully charged.
Once the timer batteries are fully charged, if there is a power cut or if the
heater is disconnected from the mains for less than six months, then the
timer will continue to keep time & the settings in the memory will remain
intact.If however the timer back up batteries have not been charged fully,
or if the heater is deprived of power for longer than six months, then the
time and the programme settings are likely to be lost and you may
therefore need to reset the time and the programme before using the
AUTO MODE again.
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 fitted 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.
IMPORTANT
The heater must be kept plugged in at the mains to retain the time and
the programmed settings. If unplugged from the mains, resetting the
time and the programmed settings will be necessary.
Cleaning
WARNING - ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
CLEANING THE HEATER.
Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaning powder or polish of any kind on
the body of the heater.
