Electrical

WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHEDIf the socket outlets in your home are not of the 13 amp BS1363 type they will not accept the plug connected to this heater, therefore cut off the plug. When cut off this plug can constitute a shock hazard if inserted into a socket outlet. It must therefore be disposed of safely. Before wiring the appropriate plug please note that the wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Connect the Green/Yellow wire to the terminal marked E or the earthsymbol or coloured Green or Green/Yellow.Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured Red. Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured Black. DO NOT connect the Brown (Live) or the Blue (Neutral) wires to the Earth terminal of your 13 amp plug. If the terminals of the plug are unmarked or you are in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Positioning the HeaterSelect the position for the radiator ensuring there is clearance from any furniture and fittings of at least 450mm above the heater and 150mm each side. The radiator should only be operated on a flat stable surface.

Operation

IMPORTANT – Objects or clothing must not be placed on this heater.Before using the heater ensure that all warnings and instructions havebeen read carefully.To use, insert the plug in the socket and switch to “On” (see Figs.3 & 4). OFRB7 includes a neon indicator which illuminates when the appliance is switched on.

Controls

Thermostat (see Fig.2)The Thermostat (see Fig.2) controls the heat output according to the room temperature. This ensures that the heater will not produce heat unnecessarily when the room is warm. To set the temperature you require, turn the thermostat knob clockwise until the required setting is reached. Alternatively to heat a cold room quickly, turn the thermostat knob up  fully. When the room has reached the desired temperature, turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise until the thermostat just clicks off. The heater will now automatically operate at this temperature. The thermostat also has a frost protection setting marked ‘ ‘. This setting is useful in areas such as garages, 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° to help protect against frost.

Note – Should the heater fail to come on when the thermostat is at a low setting, this may be due to the room temperature being higher than the thermostat setting.

Fan Heater (OFRB14) (see Fig.3)To accelerate room heating, a fan heater can be switched on;
