Filling the castor

NOTE: Before using the heater, the feet must be fitted to the unit.

1. Ensure the heater is switched OFF and is unplugged from the power outlet.

3. Unscrew the wing nuts from the U-shaped bolts.
4. Attach the U-shaped bolt to the unit between the first and second fin.
5. To attach the castor mounting plate to the unit body, first insert the 90-degree cranked end of the U-shaped bolt through the castor plate hole. Then insert the threaded end through the other hole in the castor plate and screw on a wing nut.
6. Attach the other U-shaped bolt to the unit between the eighth and ninth, and fit the other castor plate as per the
   method detailed in step 5.
7. Ensure the two castor plates are firmly fitted and the wing nuts hand tight.
8. Turn the heater upright into its normal position.

Operation

NOTE

It is normal when the heater is turned on for the first time or when turned on after having not been used for a long time period of time it may emit some odour.

This will disappear when the heater has been on for a short while

1. Choose a suitable location for the heater, taking into account the safety instructions.
2. Turn the thermostat to the “MIN” position and power switches to the “OFF” position.
3. Insert the mains plug into a suitable wall outlet.
4. Rotate the thermostat to the Max position.
5. Turn on the required power switch. There are 3 heat settings:- power I = 800 Watts, power II = 1200 Watts and power III (I+ II switched on)= 2000Watts
6. To control the room temperature, when the room reaches the desired temperature, slowly turn down the thermostat from Max and stop when you hear a click from the thermostat. Make a note of the number on the dial for future reference. If you do not hear a click, leave the thermostat at maximum as this will be the ideal position for the room.
7. To turn the heater off, turn both power switches to the OFF position.

NOTE

Your heater is fitted with a safety overheat device to switch off the heater in the event of overheating or malfunction. If, for any reason, the heater is operated in an abnormal situation or condition that would otherwise have included a rapid temperature rise to constitute a hazard, the safety overheat device should intervene by cutting off the supply current before the temperature reaches the point at which damage may occur.

For your safety, the heater has a built-in tilt switch that switches the heater off should it be knocked over. For the heater to operate normally, it must be standing upright on a firm and level surface.

Before making any electrical connections, ensure that:

• Electrical safety is only guaranteed when the earth system of your house is in accordance with the related local regulations.
• Do not bend, stretch, or pull the supply cable to avoid electric shock.
• Ensure the power socket is suitable for the maximum power of the machine (fuses in the power circuit must be 13 amp).
• The supply voltage should be the same as that indicated in the technical specifications and the appliance rating plate.
• The appliance should be earthed and in compliance with the applicable law.
• When installed, the power socket must be within easy reach.
• If the socket outlets in your home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this unit, check with a qualified electrician for replacement.
• The use of adapters, multiple connectors, or extension cables is not recommended.
• The appliance must be connected to a 220- 240 volt 50Hz AC supply by means of a three-pin socket, suitably earthed and protected by a 13 amp fuse.
• Should the fuse need to be replaced, a 13 amp fuse approved to BS1362/A must be used.

• A damaged plug should be cut off as close to the plug body as possible, the fuse should be removed, and the plug disposed of safely.

Plug replacement (UK & Ireland only)

Should you need to replace the plug, the wires in the power cable are coloured in the following way:

• Blue – Neutral ‘N’
• Brown – Live ‘L’
• Green & Yellow – Earth ‘E’

As the colours of the wires in the power cable may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The green & yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug that is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol.

The blue wire must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N.

The brown wire must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L.

If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent, or a similar qualified person, in order to avoid a hazard.
