IMPORTANT!
This unit is designed to raise the ambient temperature of an entire room, the temperature of the air coming out of the front of the heater will be warmer than the general temperature of the room, but there may not be a significant increase owing to the large volume of air passing over the element. For the same reason, the element is hot during operation, but does not glow. The room temperature depends on room size, insulation and the ambient temperature, which will increase as the room gets warmer.

ASSEMBLY

ASSEMBLY OF THE LEGS. (Ref. fig.1)

• On either side of the heater body there are two threaded inserts (B) for mounting the ‘V’ shaped leg frames (A). Note that the axle hole at the shorter end of the ‘V’ frames should be orientated towards the back of the heater.
• Take two M8 x 40mm bolts (D) and slide a plain washer (C) onto each one. Insert a bolt through each of the mounting holes on the leg frame and slide a split washer (E) over each protruding bolt. Align the bolts with the two threaded inserts (B) on the heater body and screw them down securely.
• Mount the other ‘V’ frame to the other side of the heater body in the same way.

ASSEMBLY OF THE WHEELS. (Ref. fig.2)

• Take the axle rod (F) and insert it through the holes in the ‘V’ frames so that the threaded rod ends protrude equally either side. Retain the axle rod in this position by inserting split pins (G) through the holes situated just on the inside of each leg frame.
• Slide a plain washer (H) over each end of the axle rod, followed by a wheel (J) followed by anther plain washer (H).
• Screw a nyloc nut (L) onto each end of the axle by hand until it begins to bite. Hold one nut steady with a 19mm spanner and progressively tighten each nut until it bottoms out on the thread.

ASSEMBLY OF THE HANDLE. (Ref. fig.3)

• Slide a plain washer over each of the four M5 x 50mm bolts supplied.
• Lay the ‘U’ shaped handle frame onto the front face of the leg frames and align the two holes at each end of the handle frame with the two holes in each leg frame. Insert two bolts at each joint as indicated in fig.3.
• Whilst continuing to support the handle frame slide a plain washer (P) followed by a split washer (T) onto the end of each protruding bolt and retain them with a nut (S). Tighten all four nuts with an 8mm spanner.

CONNECTING TO MAINS SUPPLY

• The EH30001 heater is supplied with a protected 5 pin connector mounted on the side of the control housing. In order to connect to the mains it will be necessary to have the extension cable shown in fig.4 made up by a qualified electrician (this cable is not supplied). The cable should be no shorter than 1.8mtr and no longer than 3.0mtr. The minimum size of cable to be used is 6mm².
• Before connecting to the mains supply ensure that the selector switch is set to OFF and the thermostat is set at minimum.
• Hold open the protective cover on the socket connector on the extension lead as shown in fig.4 and present it to the heater connector  in the correct orientation so that the spigot on the heater connector passes into the keyway on the socket connector. Push the socket connector fully home.
• Connect the other end of the extension cable to the mains supply.

THERMOSTATIC PROTECTION

• The EH30001 has a thermal cut out to prevent the unit from overheating for any reason, especially if the air input is restricted. If the temperature of the front grille reaches 45ºC a thermal cutout will operate, turning off the heating elements. When the fan has cooled the unit to 40ºC, normal thermostatic operation will resume.
• AUTO COOLING. It is recommended that the thermostat should be set to the minimum to cool the unit prior to switching off. If the unit is switched off when operating at full temperature, and the front grille has reached 45ºC, the time delay thermostat will keep the fan running to cool down the unit. When the front grille has cooled to 40ºC the fan will stop running.
• NOTE: Auto cooling will only function if the unit is plugged into the mains and the mains is switched ON.

OPERATION

Position the heater in an upright position on a firm surface and at a safe distance from any obstructions, flammable substances etc. Keep to a minimum of 0.5mtr clearance at the rear and sides, and 2mtr clearance at the front.

• Connect the heater to a suitable mains supply (see section 4.4).
• Referring to fig.5, set the thermostat dial to the maximum setting  (fully clockwise).
• The heater will switch on when the power setting selector is set to one of the power settings.
  NOTE: It will take up to three minutes for the heater to reach optimum temperature.
• Once the room reaches the required temperature, turn the thermostat dial slowly counter-clockwise until the thermostat clicks, leave the dial in this position and the room temperature will be maintained at this setting. The heater will continue to operate until the power switch is turned to the OFF position.
• For fan only operation, turn the power/fan selector to the fan only setting and set the thermostat to its minimum setting.
• When not in use, disconnect the heater from the mains supply. Store it in a safe, dry, childproof location.

MAINTENANCE.

WARNING! Before attempting any maintenance, ensure that the unit is unplugged from the mains power supply and that it has cooled down. 6.1. Clean the heater with a soft dry cloth only. DO NOT use abrasives or solvents.

• Periodically check the heater grille to ensure that it is not blocked. No other maintenance is necessary. If a problem with the heater is experienced, contact your local authorised service agent for repair. If the power lead or plug is damaged, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the heater, as this may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
  NOTE: It may take up to three minutes for the heater elements to reach optimum temperature. This is normal and not a fault.
