SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical Safety
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PLUGGED INTO AN EARTHED SOCKET
• Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your
electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating
plate. This product is designed to operate on 220 - 240V AC;
50Hz. Connection to any other power source may damage the
unit.
• This product may be fitted with a non re-wireable plug. If it is
necessary to change the fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be
refitted. If the fuse cover becomes lost or damaged, the plug
must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.
• If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your
socket, or becomes damaged in any way, it should be cut off and
an appropriate plug fitted. This should be carried out by a
qualified electrician. The plug removed must be disposed of
safely, as insertion into a 10 Amp socket is likely to cause an
electrical hazard.

USING YOUR CONVECTION HEATER
Note: For models with a Timer control please see page 10 - 12
1. Before connecting your appliance to the mains socket,
position the appliance upright on the floor away from
curtains, furniture or wall coverings.
2. Insert the mains plug into a suitable 10 Amp mains socket.
3. The appliance has 3 heating elements. Turn the Power Control
dial to the required position
4. Turn the Thermostat Control to the desired position. It is
recommended to select the highest position to pre heat the
appliance. It will take 5 -10 minutes for the appliance to fully
heat up, the time taken for the heater to heat the room it is
located in will be dependent on the size of the room and the
ambient temperature of the room. The indicator light will
illuminate when the unit is working, but the light will cycle on
and off when the thermostat control is set on a low setting
and the heater is then maintaining the room temperature.
Note: this appliance will not operate if the thermostat has been
set too low.
Note: If the thermostat dial is set toward the maximum setting
and the power control is set to off then the indicator light will stay
illuminated. No heat will be emitted as the power to the heating
elements is off.
0 - Power OFF Off
I - Low heat ON 750W
II - Medium heat ON 1250W
III - High heat ON 2000W

5. A small amount of smoke may be produced during first
time use or when the appliance has not been used for a
long period of time, this is normal and will quickly
disappear.
6. When the room reaches the desired temperature, the
heater will temporarily go off.
7. If the room temperature falls below the desired
temperature, the heating elements will turn on again until
the room temperature reaches the desired temperature
Frost protection:
The frost protection is a setting that operates when the
ambient temperature of the room that the heater has been
placed in falls below 5⁰C (approximately). The heater
automatically turns on to keep the room temperature at 5⁰C
or higher. This means the heater may cycle on and off as and
when the temperature of the room is below or over 5⁰C
(approximately). Note, the unit has to be powered on, the
power dial set to low, medium or high heat setting and the
temperature control should be set to the ‘0’ position.
The appliance is fitted with an over heat protection system.
• Overheat protection - the power to the heating elements
will automatically cut off if the temperature of the heating
elements exceeds a certain limit. In the event of
overheating, the heater will stop operating. Once the
appliance has completely cooled the appliance will then
resume operating as normal.

segments as necessary around the dial, according to the
times you don’t require heat. Each segment pushed in
switches the heater OFF for that part of the hour. All other
segments will be ON.
• You can select as many ON periods as you like, within the
24-hour day. The settings will repeat every day until
changed.
• To change ON and OFF times, simply push in any ‘ON’
segments you wish to cancel and pull out new ‘ON’
segments as required.
