6. UNITS WITH TIMER
Clock setting
The programme/timer, as in all clocks, must be set to the correct time. If for example the time is 9.30 a.m.
(day zone), rotate the dial clockwise (following the direction of the arrow) until 9.30 is aligned with the trian-
gular pointer.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT ROTATE CLOCK DIAL COUNTER CLOCKWISE.
The timer is in effect an electric clock and only works while plug is connected to the power supply.
Whenever the plug is disconnected, the timer stops and must be re-set.
HOW TO USE THE TIMER
Please refer to the illustration below:
IMPORTANT: There are 96 tabs around the dial. Each tab represents a 1/4 hour
(15 minutes) and there is a tab for every quarter hour of the 24 hour day. Your appliance can be program-
med to switch itself ON and OFF at the time you want. With the timer you can approximate your setting to
within 15 minutes and program up to 48 cycles (1 cycle = 1 “ON” + 1 “OFF”) over a period of 24 hours
(12 hours a.m.+12 hours p.m.).
The tabs can be pushed inwards or pulled outwards by merely using your fingers. When the tab is in the
inward position (towards the center of the dial), the heater
will operate during that 15 minute period. If the
tab is in the outward position, the heater
will not operate during this period.
Please note when you first use your heater, all the tabs are outwards. You must push in those tabs for the
period that you want the heater to work. (If you want to bypass the timer you must push all 96 tabs inward).
Timer operation
a). Plug in the heater.
b). Turn timer dial clockwise to set clock with the current time of day (see CLOCK SETTING).
c). Push tabs inwards for the period you want the heater to operate. For example, the illustration shows that
appliance will operate from 2 a.m. to 4.30 a.m.
d). Push switch(-es) in.
e). Once you have set the tabs for the desired heating periods, your heater will cycle on and off according
to these settings.
f ). As long as you keep the heater plugged in, the timer will continue to keep proper time.
6. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Always remove the plug from the power socket and allow the radiator to cool. Wipe radiator with a soft
damp cloth, do not use detergents and abrasives.
Should the radiator not be in use over a certain length of time, wind the cable round the holder and store it
in a dry place (see fig. in front page).
This appliance has been built to give many years of trouble free service.
In case of malfunction or doubt, do not try to repair the heater by yourself: it may result in fire hazard or
electric shock.
Call nearest Service Center (see attached list of Service Centers).
