The Panel - How it Works

Heating elements within the metal casing warm its front face for direct radiation into the room and a gentle circulation of warm air around the room. A built-in thermostat with its adjustment knob towards the bottom of the right hand edge of the panel, controls the room temperature by detecting this from the air passing upwards through the panel.

NOTE - Should your heater fail to come on when the thermostat knob is at a low setting, this may be due to the room temperature being higher than the thermostat setting.

THERMOSTAT AND PROGRAMME TIMER MODELS

85301 / 85302 / 85303 / 85304 / 85305

An electric timer by which the heating panel can be switched on and off automatically at predetermined times, is built into the top right hand corner of the panel. If you are making use of this feature, you must, of course, leave the power supply connected to the panel from the wall power point otherwise the timer will not run. To select the automatic periods of heating, make sure that the timer dial is set to read the correct time of day against its index mark (WARNING: TIME DIAL IS CAPABLE ONLY OF BEING ROTATED CLOCKWISE). Push the segments around the timer dial inwards at the appropriate times that you wish the panel to be 'ON'. This reveals an orange background. Each segment represents a twenty minute (1 /3 of an hour) period.

At the bottom of the control cover is a screwdriver operated lock. Other than actually adjusting the controls, this lock should be kept in the locked position. Adjacent to the timer dial is a switch with three settings:

Select this setting for the timer to give automatic control of the panel.

The panel is permanently switched off, although the power is still connected to it.

Provided the wall power point is switched on, at this setting the panel provides continuous heating.

SAFETY:

A thermal cut-out is fitted to all models, which will switch off the heater if, for any reason, it overheats. Should the cut-out operate, determine the reason for over-heating before resetting the cut-out. To re-set the cut-out, switch off and disconnect the electricity supply to the heater for a few minutes, after which time normal operation may be resumed.

An air space of at least 50mm (2") must be maintained around the heater. Any shelf or curtain installed above the heater must have a minimum gap of 150mm (6") between the heater and the shelf or curtain.
