OPERATING THE HEATER
1) Controls and settings
a) Before Starting
i) Non timer Models
Plug the heater into a 240 volt power outlet, lift up the clear plastic control cover and turn the
heater on using the O/I switch in the top control panel (I is ON, O is OFF).
The red indicator light next to the round thermostat wheel indicates the element is heating. Be
sure the thermostat temperature is set higher than the room temperature or this light will not be
illuminated. It is recommended the thermostat wheel is set between 18-20 degrees Celsius for
economical operation of the heater.
ii) Timer models
Plug the heater into a 240 volt power outlet, lift up the clear plastic control cover and turn the
heater ON using the O/I switch in the top control panel (I is ON, O is OFF).
Press the large “OVER” (for override) button in the timer display until “ON” appears in
the display. The heater can now be used manually and the red timer light on the bottom left
hand side of the timer will be illuminated showing the timer is operating (this light must be
illuminated for the heater to operate). The time display in the timer window and the ashing
two dots in the middle of the time display also indicates the timer is operating.
The red indicator light next to the round thermostat wheel indicates the element is heating.
Be sure the thermostat temperature is set higher than the room temperature or this light will
not be illuminated – see section b) Setting of the Thermostat below for further information.
It is recommended the thermostat wheel is set between 18-20 degrees Celsius for economical
operation of the heater.
iii) Further information for Timer models
The timer can be used to turn heaters ON and OFF on a weekly cycle. It has ON/OFF times
with optional switching variations or it can be used as a countdown timer. See later section
“SETTING AND PROGRAMMING THE TIMER” for detailed information on how to use all
functions of the timer.
When the heater is switched off, either at the heater ON/OFF switch and/or the mains power
socket, a non rechargeable lithium battery ensures that the time and program settings are
retained. The battery is designed to last for at least 10 years.
If the battery fails the heater can still be operated because when the heater is switched on the
timer bypasses the battery and uses mains power. In this situation the heater can be operated
manually as described in part ii) above. Alternatively if you wish to retain the timer memory,
set the thermostat to 5 degrees Celsius without switching off the heater. When the heater is
required the thermostat can be simply increased to the desired comfort level.
b) Setting of the thermostat
All Polo model “C Series” convection panel heaters are tted with an accurate and silent
electronic thermostat which can be adjusted between 5 and 30 degrees Celsius. Gradings of 5
degrees Celsius are marked on the thermostat wheel. See Fig 3.
The red indicator light indicates the element is actually heating.
Switch on the heater to the I position and turn the thermostat wheel to between 18 and 20 degrees
Celsius. These temperatures are recommended for economical operation of the heater.
Should the red light on top of the control panel near the thermostat wheel fail to come on when
the thermostat is set between 18-20 degrees Celsius could mean that the room temperature is
higher than this setting. Turn the thermostat wheel to maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius
to check - if the red light illuminates then this situation has been veried.
