Switch (S) – see Fig. 3
With the selector switch, the fan can be switched on or the heat setting
selected. The power indicating light illuminates (see ‘2’ in Fig. 2) when
the Switch (s) is turned on.
Thermostat (T) – see Fig. 3
In order to maintain a certain room temperature, set the controller to
‘max.’. Operate the appliance at full power until the required room
temperature is reached. Set back the thermostatic controller until the
appliance switches off with an audible ‘click’. This temperature will be
kept almost constant by the thermostatic control switching on and off
automatically. Please note that the appliance can only be switched
on when the thermostat setting is higher than the room temperature.
With the control knob (T) set to and the control knob (S) set to the
required heating output the appliance switches on automatically when
the temperature falls below +5°C . . .+8°C.
Operation – DXUCTW2BE model
The heat output is controlled electronically, according to the room
temperature. When the unit is plugged in the power light illuminates
(see ‘2’ in Fig. 2). The unit is now in stand by mode. The power light

grilles are restricted in anyway the cut-out switches the heater off
automatically. To bring the heater back into operation, remove the
cause of over heating then unplug the unit from the electricity supply
for a few minutes. When the heater has cooled sufciently reconnect
and switch on the heater.
Fuse Link
A thermal fuse link is provided as an added safety feature. If the fuse
link operates and opens circuit it is the result of abnormal overheating
within the appliance and servicing of the appliance by a competent
service engineer will be required in order to ensure the future safe
operation of the heater. Customer services should be contacted, who
will arrange the replacement of any faulty parts and the tting of a
new fuse link.

be taken from the lter bracket and dust or uff can then be removed
using a vacuum cleaner. When cleaning of the lter is complete the
lter should be retted to the lter bracket. The lter bracket should
then be retted to the rear of the product.
Note: Disconnect the heater from the power supply before cleaning
the lter.
