OVERVIEW OF YOUR GOLDAIR ECOPANEL
HEATER
Your Goldair Panel Heater will provide
background warmth.
Your Panel Heater is designed to take the chill
off the room.
The surface of this Panel Heater can be painted
with good quality paint (acrylic or enamel).
Note: Do not run power cord behind the heater.
To ensure the power cord is set to the closet
power socket, this heater can be rotated
clockwise and fixed to the wall in any 360degree
position, with the power cord in the corner
closest to the socket.
Decorating tip: All wall mounted heaters may
cause paint to discolour or wall paper to lift.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before plugging in and using your new Goldair
Ecopanel heater, check all surfaces to ensure
the heater is not damaged in any way.
Check that the On/Off switch is set to the Off
position before plugging the heater into the
mains supply.
Use the On/Off switch along the side of the
heater to turn your heater on.
A. Power Switch
B. Control Panel
C. Screw Bolt Cap
D. Heater Body
E. Temperature Sensor
F. Digital Temperature Display
WARNING: Do not use this heater with a
separate programmer, timer, separate
remote-control system or any other device
that switches the heater on automatically,
since a fire risk exists if the heater is covered
or positioned incorrectly.
SETTING THE THERMOSTAT
IMPORTANT: The temperature sensor (E)
needs to be pulled out approximately 35mm
to better read the ambient temperature.
When you first turn the heater on the LED
display will show 22 degrees. Within a few
seconds it will switch to the current room
temperature.
The most effective way to set your thermostat, is
to press the “plus” button until the temperature
reads about 30-32 degrees. Within a few
seconds the LED readout will revert back to the
current room temperature. But the temperature
you have set is stored in the memory.
The heater will start to work and the LED
readout will start to increase. Depending on
other influences (open doors, size of room,
house insulation, outside temperature) this could
take sometime.
When you are comfortable with the room
temperature, take note of the LED reading (e.g.
25 degrees) and then using the “minus” button,
reduce the thermostat to that number (e.g. 25
degrees). The heater will now cycle on and off to
maintain the temperature you have set.
Note: If you turn the heater off the temperature
will revert to the 22 degrees and you may need
to follow the process above again when you turn
the heater back on.
