3 Before Use

Remove all packaging and dispose of thoughtfully.

Congratulations on the purchase of your new heater.

Before first using your new heater, it is most important that you read and follow the

instructions in this instruction manual, even if you feel you are quite familiar with this type

of product.

Your attention is drawn particularly to the section dealing with “IMPORTANT

SAFEGUARDS”.

Find a place and keep this manual handy for future reference.

Your heater is easy and safe to use. It has been designed to function quietly and safely

under normal circumstances.

Read all instructions to ensure safe and efficient use.

NOTE: Keep combustible materials such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes

and curtains, etc. at least 90cm from the top and all sides of the heater.

DO NOT place anything directly in front of the heater. Keep a safe operating distance of at

least 120cm.

DO NOT drape clothes, towels etc. over the heater.

4 Tip Over Switch

This heater is fitted with a “Tip Over Switch” built into the base of the heater, so in the

event that the heater may be knocked over, power to the heater is immediately turned off.

As soon as the heater is stood up again and the base is rested on a hard flat horizontal

surface, the heater will switch back on.

Do not use on long carpet or the like.

Under no circumstances should the Tip Over Switch be

tampered with or bypassed.

5 Operation

5.1 Controls

• Ensure the Fan control is set to the “O” (Off) position.

• Fully unwind the power cord then plug into the powerpoint and switch on.

• When first setting up the temperature setting, turn the Fan / On-Off / Heat Control

Switch to Maximum Power “II” and turn the Adjustable Room Thermostat fully

clockwise to maximum.

• The Indicator light will illuminate indicating the element is heating.

• When the room reaches the desired temperature, slowly turn the Adjustable Room

Thermostat down (anticlockwise) until you hear it “Click” off. The indicator light will turn

off.

• Leave the Adjustable Room Thermostat in this position and the heater will now cycle

on and off and maintain the desired room temperature.

Note: The indicator light will turn on and off as the heating element turns on and off.

As the thermostat maintains room temperature it will switch on and off.

As it switches on and off, you may notice a blue flash from inside the heater. This is

NOT dangerous and no cause for alarm

• At the same time, you may turn the Fan / On-Off / Heat Control Switch down to the

Low Heat setting “I” to reduce the power consumption. This will however increase the

amount of time it takes to reheat.

• On very cold days this may not be practical, as heat losses can exceed the heat

generated by your heater. Larger rooms and open space areas may also find the low

or medium heat setting ineffective.

• You will need to experiment with this heater to establish the exact setting required for

any particular room or space.

• Best performance and efficiency is achieved with an insulated home, closed windows

& doors and with drapes closed.

Page 9 of 12

CAUTION: Even after the heater has been turned off, the heater will remain very hot

for some time after. DO NOT touch the hot surfaces during heating or after turned off.

• If you wish to just recirculate the room air without heating, turn the Fan / On-Off / Heat

Control Switch to position “



”.

• To turn the heat and/or fan off, turn the Fan / On-Off / Heat Control Switch to position

“O“

Note: Keep children away from the heater at all times.

Always Turn off and unplug when not in use.

6 Safety Cut-Off Device

This heater is fitted with a Safety Cut-out Device to prevent injury or damage should the

internal temperature exceed the safe operating temperature.

• Should the heater turn off unexpectedly, first unplug the appliance from the wall power

point and let cool. It is more than likely that the thermal Cut-Off device has activated

• This may have been caused by either the Rear Air Inlet grille being blocked (or

partially block), the fan stopping due to a foreign object being inserted into the fan, the

front air outlet grill being blocked (or partially blocked) or a build up of dust and fluff

etc, inside the appliance.

• The appliance cannot be reset and must be taken to your nearest electrician for

repairs.

Please note: The Thermal Cut-Off device will not activate during normal use. Refer to

the notes in “Important Safeguards” to prevent this from happening.

7 Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance

from the ELECTRICITY supply.

Wipe the outer surfaces with a slightly moistened cloth.

Note: Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax

polishes or products containing alcohol, etc. as these may damage the unit.

Dry the appliance thoroughly.

Any dust build up in the grille can be vacuumed out. DO NOT place any objects into the

grille.

10 Troubleshooting

BEFORE contacting a service agent, check the following points:

Symptom

Cause

Remedy

No power to the appliance

The Power Plug may not be

plugged in to the power point and

switched on.

Ensure the power plug is inserted

into the powerpoint correctly and

switch on.

There may be no power to the

power point

Ensure there is power to the power

point. Test with another appliance

such as a table lamp.

Power is available but not

heating

The heater is not sitting on a hard

flat surface, which is preventing the

Tip Over Switch from resetting.

Ensure the heater is sitting on a

hard flat horizontal surface.

The heater has overheated

internally and tripped the safety

over-temperature device

Refer to the section “Safety Cut-Out

Device”

The heater has overheated

internally and blown the Over-Temp

thermal fuse

Call the service department.

The Fan / On-Off / Heat Control

Switch is not switched on.

Turn the Fan / On-Off / Heat Control

Switch to the heating position “I” or

“II”.

The room temperature has been

reached for the setting of the

thermostat.

Turn the thermostat to a higher

temperature setting, (rotate

clockwise)

Fan is blowing cold air and

not heating

The Fan / On-Off / Heat Control

Switch is not switched onto the heat

positions.

Turn the Fan / On-Off / Heat Control

Switch to the heating position “I” or

“II”.

Burning Smell when first

turned on.

This is normal for first use or for first

use after storing away for some

time. It is the fine dust burning off

the element.

Allow appliance to heat up and the

smell will disappear over a short

period.

Occasional Blue Flashes

from Inside the Heater

This is the thermostat switching on

and off while it maintains the room

temperature.

This is not dangerous and is no

cause for alarm. This is normal for

this type of Thermostat.

If after the above checks there is still a fault, contact Customer Support for assistance.

If in warranty, customers should ensure that the above checks have been made before

sending for repair, as fees may be levied if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical

breakdown or deemed to be caused by misuse.
