DO NOT locate the heater immediately below a fixed socket outlet or connection box.

1.Remove wall mounting bracket from the back of the heater by depressing the spring latch at the top of each bracket - see Fig. 2.

2.Fix the wall bracket securely to the wall through the four screw holes provided.

3.Present the heater to the wall bracket, and engage lower slots in the back with bracket.

4.Raise the heater to upright position and push the heater onto brackets to engage top latch.

Access to the controls

The controls cover (see ‘x’ in Fig. 1) on your heater has a latch which may be locked shut if desired using a small bladed screwdriver - see Fig. 3.

To open the cover insert the blade of the screwdriver in the small slot and rotate a quarter of a turn clockwise to disengage the latch. The cover may then be hinged back towards the wall for access to the controls.

Operation - Thermostat only models

Control of Output and Temperature (see Fig. 4)

The switch marked O and I controls the electricity supply to the heating elements. The OFF position is marked O.

The switch marked I - II (half heat – full heat) provides a choice of output as desired.

Thermostat Operation

The heater is fitted with an adjustable thermostat enabling the room temperature to be controlled by adjusting the setting

accordingly. The * setting represents a room temperature of approximately 5°C and may be used for protection against frost. Higher temperature settings range from 1-6 (max.) creating a room temperature of approximately 30°C.

A neon indicator light glows when the appliance is actually heating.

Switch on the heater and turn the thermostat knob to mark 6 opposite the indicator mark (located on centre right of the knob - see Fig. 4 & 5), and set selector switch to full heat output to warm the room rapidly. When the room temperature has reached the desired level, turn the thermostat knob back slowly until the thermostat just clicks off. The heater will then maintain the room temperature at the chosen level, provided that the correct size of heater has been selected for the room to be heated.

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.

Operation - TI and TX Timer Models

Control of Output and Temperature (see Fig. 5)

The slide switch on the timer unit controls the electricity supply to the heating elements on TI and TX models.

The switch marked I - II (half heat – full heat) provides a choice of output as desired.

- see above.

Using the Timer

The heater must be connected to the electricity supply for the timer to operate. Set the timer by rotating the dial clockwise until the correct time of day is indicated opposite the datum mark (located at centre front of the timer - see Fig. 5).

‘OFF’ Position

Set the timer switch to Access to the controls position. The timer operates but the heater will not output any heat, as the electricity supply to the heating elements has been disconnected.

Manual Operation

Set the timer switch to Operation - Thermostat only models position. The heater will now operate continuously under the control of the thermostat - see ‘Thermostat Operation’ above.
