these devices could lead to risk of overloading, overheating
and even fire at the extension lead or adaptor due to
inadequate connection quality.
This heater must be used on an AC (~) supply only and
the voltage marked on the heater must correspond to the
supply voltage. This heater is fitted with a rewirable plug
incorporating a 10/13 amp fuse. In the event of replacing
the fuse in the plug supplied, an equivalent 10/13 amp fuse
approved by ASTA to BS 1362 must be used. If any other type
of plug is used, a 15 amp fuse must be fitted in the plug, the
adaptor, or at the distribution board.
IMPORTANT: If the plug is not suitable for your socket, the 13
amp plug should be removed. Before wiring the appropriate
plug, please note that the wires in this mains lead are coloured
in accordance with the following code:
GREEN AND YELLOW: EARTH
BLUE: NEUTRAL
BROWN: LIVE
Connect the GREEN AND YELLOW wire to the terminal
marked ‘E’ or by the earth symbol , or coloured GREEN
or GREEN AND 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.
The heater is designed for operation on an AC electricity
supply, and is suitable for use in domestic dwellings and
similar indoor locations.
The heater is supplied with feet and handles for ease of

To install the feet, lay the heater on its back and remove
the two foot fixing screws, highlighted in Fig. 2. Assemble
the feet by pressing them firmly into the convector body
as indicated in Fig. 2, the foot should clip into position.
Secure using the foot fixing screw, Return the convector to
the upright position,
The appliance is now ready for use.
Always ensure that the heater is stood on a firm, level
base near to, but not directly underneath a suitable mains
supply socket.

OPERATIONAL MODES
This appliance operates in manual mode only:
Manual mode is a continuous active heating mode. It
is possible to select a heat mode and a desired room
temperature and the appliance will continue to control
the room until the mode is changed or the appliance is
switched off.
HEAT SELECTION
There are three heat modes to select from, these can be
selected during the Operational mode setup:
Intelligent (Eco) Heat: The product will
automatically regulate the output power
depending on requirements. In this mode
the product operates at full power, however
the output of the product is automatically
reduced and regulated as the room
temperature
approaches the desired level. This mode
optimises energy use by calculating the most efficient and
effective way to achieve the desired temperature setting.
The desired room temperature can be adjusted at any time
during operation by pressing the appropriate button.
Low Heat: In this mode, the appliance will
operate at a low heat setting, the appliance
will automatically cycle at this setting to
achieve and maintain the desired room temperature.
High Heat: In this mode, the appliance will
operate at a high heat setting, the appliance
will automatically cycle at this setting to
achieve and maintain the desired room temperature.
Note: If the temperature set is lower than the room
temperature then the product will shut off. The
temperature will be flashing to indicate this. The product
will stay in this state until the room temperature lowers
or the set temperature is increased higher than the room
temperature.

STANDBY MODE
Standby mode is an inactive mode where the appliance will
not emit any heat. In this mode the appliance is plugged

other buttons will be visible, see Fig. 4.
To activate the appliance press the Standby button. The
icon will change to green and the screen and buttons will
illuminate, see Fig. 5.
For first time startup, the product will start with default
settings of 25°C in ECO Mode and Manual operation.
If not the first time startup, and when the product is
subsequently turned on, the product will return to the last
used settings for Heat Mode, Temperature Setting, Sound
ON/OFF.
If the product is powered on and the standby button is
pressed, there is a countdown timer from 10 to 1 before
shutting down.
When disconnected from the power supply (plugged out/
power cut/tilt switch) then reconnected and turned back
on, the product will return to last used settings for Heat
Mode, Temperature setting, Sound ON/OFF.
Note: The element has been coated with a protective film
which will burn off during the first few minutes of use, this
may cause a small amount of fuming. This is quite normal –
the fumes are non-toxic and will quickly disappear.
We recommend that you open a window to ventilate the
room when using the heater for the first time.

This appliance incorporates a number of safety devices.
In addition to the ‘Important Safety Advice’ section your
attention is drawn to the following:
SAFETY OVERHEAT PROTECTION
The heater is fitted with a thermal cutout which will switch
off the heater should it overheat for any reason. If the
thermal cutout operates, unplug the unit immediately.
Allow the heater to cool down completely and remove the
cause of the over heating.
TILT SWITCH
The product is fitted with a safety tilt switch which will
prevent the heater from working if the heater is accidentally
tipped over in any direction.
If the heater is tipped over while it is hot, disconnect the
power and allow it to cool, then stand the heater back
upright. Reconnect the power - normal operation should
be resumed.
Note: The tilt switch mechanism makes a muted rattling
noise when the product is moved or tilted, this is not a
fault, this noise is normal.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Although this heater is manufactured to comply with the
relevant safety standards, certain types of carpets could
become discoloured by the temperatures under a portable
heater. If you are concerned about this, we recommend
that you contact the carpet manufacturer for guidance.
Alternatively, stand the heater on a suitable base to shield
the carpet – call our Helpline for further advice.
You may notice some parts of the element appearing to
be hotter from time to time because of the variable airflow
through the heater. This does not cause a safety hazard.
The heat outlet grille may become discoloured with use –
this is caused by airborne pollution and is not a fault.
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.
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.
Allow the heater to cool, then wipe with a dry cloth to
remove dust and a damp cloth (not wet) to clean off stains.
Be careful not to allow moisture in to the heater.
