• The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accor-
dance with the following code.
• Blue - NEUTRAL Brown - LIVE.
• If your appliance is fitted with a non-rewireable mains
plug which is not suitable for the socket outlets in
your home, the plug must be cut off and an appropri-
ate one fitted.
NOTE:
• A plug cut off from a flexible cord will give a shock
hazard if inserted in a 13 amp socket elsewhere in
the house. To avoid this, it should be disposed of
immediately.
• If you are fitting an alternative type of plug then the
colours of the wires in the mains lead of the appli-
ance may not correspond with the coloured mark-
ings identifying the terminals on your plug. In this
case proceed as follows:
• The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connect-
ed to the terminal which is marked with the letter N
or coloured BLACK.
• The wire which is coloured BROWN must be con-
nected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter L or coloured RED.
NOTE:
• For your additional safety, the heater has been
double insulated and must not be earthed.
• Therefore do not connect either of the wires to the
earth terminal of the three pin plug.
• If a 13 amp (BS 1363) plug is used a 13 amp (BS
1362) fuse must be fitted either in the plug, adap-
tor or at the fuse board.
NOTE:
• The fuse cover of a non-rewireable plug must be
refitted when changing the fuse. Should the fuse
cover become lost, the plug must not be used until
the correct replacement fuse cover is obtained
from our service department or stockist.
Power cor
d:
• Position the power cord so that it does not pose a
tripping hazard or can be stepped on! Only use
approved extension cable that is suitable for the
appliance rating.
• The power cord must not come into contact with
hot appliance parts!
• Never pull the plug out of the socket at the cord!
Never move the appliance by pulling at the cord or
use the cord for carrying purposes!
• Do not coil the cord around the appliance! Do not
use the appliance with the cord coiled!
• Do not crush the cord or drag it over sharp edges
or place it over heated hotplates or naked flames!

If the appliance should tip over during operation, it
will switch off automatically and switch on imme-
diately when set upright!
T
emperature setting:
• The thermostatic control T should be set to "MAX”:
Once the required room temperature is reached, it
can be turned back until a click (switch off) can be
heard (Fig. 6a, 6b, 9a). This set temperature will be
kept almost constant by the thermostatic control
switching on and off automatically.
Fr
ost protection: (except of H 293 TSO)
• When the temperature falls below
+5…+8 °C, the appliance switches on automatical-
ly (Fig. 7, 7a, 9a).
Overheat pr
