WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

Fitting The Castors

WARNING: The column heater must only be operated with the wheels and castors

fitted and in an upright position. The castors must be fitted to the control panel and

on the bracket between the last and second last fin on the opposite end, as shown

in Fig.1.

Fitting the castors

1. Remove the box containing the castor assemblies from the packaging.

2. Fit the castors to the stub axles by applying hand pressure until each castor

clicks into position - see below Fig. 2. Note that the castors are designed to be a

tight fit on the axles but will rotate in use.

3. The castors can only be fitted between the outer fins (as shown in Fig. 1).

4. Turn the heater upside down on a carpet or other soft surface to avoid damage.

Ask a second person to help with this if necessary.

WARNING: THE HEATER IS HEAVY – ENSURE THAT IT IS SUPPORTED TO

PREVENT IT FROM TOPPLING.

5. Position the castor bracket 'A' (see Fig. 2) onto the threaded pins on the control

panel. Place the winged nut ‘C’ on the thread and tighten it securely.

6. Repeat the process for castor bracket ‘B’ onto the last fin.

7. Lift the heater clear off the floor, then turn it back upright and stand it on its

castors. It is now ready for use.

Positioning

Select the position for the heater ensuring there is clearance from any furniture

and fittings of at least 300mm above the heater and 150mm each side. The heater

should only be operated on a flat stable surface. We recommend maximising the

clearance where possible.

NOTE: The radiator is designed for operation on an AC electricity supply, and is only

suitable for domestic use and similar indoor locations.

Tips

• The radiator is fitted with castors and a handle for ease of movement.

• A rocket switch provides the ability to choose an available heat output and

an adjustable thermostat enables the room temperature to be controlled

accordingly.

• Once the castors have been correctly fitted, no other assembly is required, just

plug and play!

Safety Features

This appliance incorporates a number of safety devices. In addition to the ‘Important

Safety Advice’ section your attention is drawn to the following;

Tilt Switch

The tilt switch will prevent the heater from working if it is accidentally tipped over on

its side.

If the radiator is tipped over while it is hot, disconnect the power and allow it to cool,

then stand the radiator back upright. Reconnect the power - normal operation should

be resumed.

Overheat Protection

The heater is fitted with a temperature limiter which will reduce the output of the heater

should it overheat for any reason. The product will return to normal operation after the

cause of the over heating has been rectified.

Operation

IMPORTANT - OBJECTS OR CLOTHING MUST NOT BE PLACED ON THIS HEATER.

Before using the heater ensure that all warnings and instructions have been read

carefully. To activate the heater simply plug it in. Neon indicator lights located at

the control area will illuminate when the appliance is plugged into the mains. This

indicates the appliance is energised and ready to use.

Please note – The element has been coated with a protective film which will burn off

during the first few minutes of use, this may cause a small amount of fuming. This is

quite normal – the fumes are non-toxic and will quickly disappear.

We recommend that you open a window to ventilate the room when using the

heater for the first time.

Operation

Thermostat

The Thermostat Dial Fig. 3 controls the heat output according to the room

temperature. This ensures that the column heater will not produce heat

unnecessarily when the room is already warm.

1. To set the temperature, turn the thermostat dial clockwise until the required

setting is reached. Alternatively to heat a cold room quickly, turn the thermostat

dial up fully.

2. When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat

dial anti-clockwise until the thermostat just clicks off. The heater will now

automatically operate at this temperature.

3. The thermostat also has a frost protection setting marked '*' This setting is useful

in areas such as garages, or other cold indoor rooms, to prevent frost damage. If

the thermostat is set to its minimum setting '*' the heater will cycle on and off to

maintain a temperature of approximately 5°C to help protect against frost.

Note – If the heater fails to turn ON when the thermostat is at a low setting, this may

be due to the room temperature being higher than the thermostat setting.

On/Off & Heat Switches Fig. 4

Selector switches located on the control panel provide a choice of heat output to

suit varying conditions and for economy of operation.

Available output options are as follows:

Turbo Fan

The turbo fan is used to boost the heat output and

also the airflow around the room. This circulates

the heat and results in a reduced heat up time

and a more even heat distribution. The turbo fan

is controlled by the switch on the front of the

product - see Fig 5.

The turbo can be turned on independently of the

heat.

WARNING - ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING THE

HEATER.

• Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaning powder or polish of any kind on the

body of the column heater.

• Allow the column heater to cool, then wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust and

a damp cloth (not wet) to clean off any marks. Be careful not to allow moisture

into to the heater.

Storage

If the heater is not required for long periods, for example during the summer, it should

be stored in a dry place and preferably covered to prevent the accumulation of dirt

and dust. The supply cord should be neatly coiled around the cable wrap ensuring that

the plug does not trail on the floor.
