THERMOSTAT
When the room has reached the desired
temperature level, the thermostat will maintain the
set temperature level by switching On and Off at
intervals. To find the ideal thermostat setting for
your own comfort, proceed as follows:
• Set the thermostat to the maximum position by
turning the thermostat knob clockwise until it
stops.
•When the desired temperature in the room is
reached, slowly turn the thermostat knob anti-
clockwise until the heater automatically turns off.
• The thermostat will now automatically maintain
the temperature at the desired level.
ANTI FREEZE SETTING
This heater is equipped with an anti-frost setting.
This position can be used to keep the immediate
area around the heater free from frost.
• Position the heater in the area you want to keep
above freezing.
• Switch the heater ON by selecting I or II
(depending on the room size, possible draught
and expected minimum temperature).
•Turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise until it
stops. This is the minimum thermostat setting -
approx +5°C. The heater will automatically
switch On if the temperature in the room drops
below this level.
AUTO SAFETY SHUT OFF
This feature will automatically switch off the heater
in case of accidental overheating. Operation of the
heater can only be resumed when the user has
reset the unit.
To reset the heater
1. Turn the control knob to the 0 position
2. Unplug the heater and wait for 5-10 minutes for
the unit to cool down.
3. After the 5-10 minutes, plug the unit in again
and operate normally.
NOTE: If your heater is fitted with a 13 amp UK
plug, the internal plug fuse may have blown and
may therefore require changing. (See 'Installation
