authorities if unsure). There must be at least 150mm between it and any barrier/wall to the sides, bottom or
top to prevent overheating or damage.
Make sure the heater is unplugged from the mains power. Turn the heater upside down & rest on a
protective surface. Place a castor bracket over the designated slots and slide into position. This will cause
the screw hole to align. Securely fix in place screw provided. (do not over-tighten). Push the castors and
wheels into the slots. Turn the heater right side up & it is ready to connect to mains power. Note: The heater
gets hot when in use, so it is best not to move when in use. If it must be moved, use the castor brackets or control
panel as points of contact.
Do not fit the castors to the base of the heater.
Make sure the heater is unplugged from the mains
power and the wall is suitable for mounting the
panel heater and there are the correct clearances.
Make sure the panel heater is within 1 metre of a
power socket. Mount the supplied wall mounting
hooks using the mountings supplied. Ensure the
screws used are appropriate for the screws used
are appropriate for this application.
Ensure the mountings are
525mm apart and 465mm
above floor level.
FITTING CASTORS and WHEELS
WALL MOUNTING
Attach the supplied right angle mounting brackets to the underside of the heater (front hole of bracket)
using the rear most of the pre-installed case screws as shows in the diagram. Check for strength.
Carefully place the heater (slightly tilted
forward) onto the hooks at the bottom of
the bracket & rotate back so the clips fix
back into their original holes. Ensure the
bracket is securely fastened to the wall.
Check that they are fixed correctly. If
possible, have a second
person help to check for alignment as the
heater is attached. The heater is now ready
to connect to the mains power.

LOCK FUNCTION
TILT SWITCH
As a safety feature this heater is fitted with a tilt switch that automatically cut the power of the element if the
appliance tilts more than 45°. Once the heater is returned to level, normal operation will commence
automatically.
In addition to temperature-controlled operation the heater can also be operated via the use of a timer. The
first allows the user to operate the heater for a set period of time.
Set the desired temperature, then press the mode button twice. The display panel will now display 0.0 and
the both the delay off set indicator and the time indicator will begin to flash.
Press the up or down buttons to set the required timer operation period. The delay timer can be set in 30
minute (.5) increments up to 9.5 hours and then in 1 hours increments up to 24 hours. To exit the timer mode,
press the mode button twice or wait 5 seconds. The delay time indicator will illuminate to indicate that the
timer is set.
To stop the timer function, press and hold the up button for 5 seconds.
The second allows you to set up a delayed start time. With the power connected, press the Power On/Off
button once, set the temperature and press the Power On/Off button again to put the appliance in standby
mode. Press the Mode button for 3 seconds until the timer is displayed and adjust the timer delay time as
above. The timer will count-down until the delay time has finished and the heater will turn on at the set
temperature.
Note: The two timers will not work together. While the delay start is counting down, pressing the Power On/Off
button twice will turn the heater on and cancel the timer setting. Setting the timer (as above) to “0”, or pressing
the Up button for 5 seconds will also cancel the timer.
Note: The delayed start timer should only ever be set in a controlled, safe environment, where there is no
chance of the heater being accidentally covered or flammable materials getting in contact with the appliance
(curtains moving in the wind, animals or children moving pillows/toys/blankets could all cause a safety
hazard).
TIMERS
With the heater disconnected from the power, clean the exterior body of the heater with a soft damp cloth.
Always make sure that the heater is completely
dry before connecting back to the mains supply. A vacuum
cleaner can be used to clean the inlets & outlets of dust & fluff. To clean behind a wall mounted unit, the
mounting clips can be disconnected & the heater rotated slightly forward (a 2 person job). Please make sure the
unit is properly secured afterwards.
CAUTION: Do not use gasoline, benzene, thinner, harsh cleaners, etc. as they will damage the heater.
NEVER USE ALCOHOL OR SOLVENTS.
STORAGE: Store the heater with these instructions in the original packaging, in a cool, dry place.

HINTS & TIPS
Where possible, your electric panel convection heater should be connected to a power outlet that uses a
separate 10 amp power circuit than other items. This will avoid overloading your household fuse.
In t
he event that your household fuse is overloaded and trips, please note this is normally caused by the use of
excessive power outlets at the same time your heater is operating (for example, a steam iron, kettle, toaster
etc.). Please ensure to check the use of the power circuit and adjust when heater is in use (i.e. turn off the
heater when boiling a kettle).
If your heater does not work:
•
Check that power is available to the heater & it is plugged in & turned on.
•
Check that the heater temperatures are set correctly for the ambient temperature.
•
Check that the thermal cut-out has not activated (see safety features).
•
Do not try to repair the heater.
