Operation instructions

INTRODUCTION
For satisfactory performance of your IXL electric space heater please read these instructions carefully.
To save on running costs you should insulate the ceilings of your home. This will help keep your home
warm in winter and cool in summer.
For additional assistance in the use of your heater contact your electrical authority showroom, the
manufacturer or State Distributor.
CONTROLS:
(i) 2 switches on heater controlling:
-ON/OFF switch (red illuminated)
- HI/LO switch (red) which selects one or both elements
(ii) Remote thermostat (wall mounted)
TO HEAT:
Switch ON the red ON/OFF switch. When power is on the ON/OFF switch is illuminated.
warmup using both heating elements simply switch HI on the HI/LO switch.
Set thermostat to 20°C.
The heater will operate and cycle on and off to maintain steady temperature in the room. Individual
requirements may require adjustments to thermostat setting but for economy use the lowest setting at
which comfort is obtained.
When the room has reached comfort level, select "LO" on the HI/LO switch and use this selection
whenever possible for optimum distribution and economy. For best results and comfort, do not sit too
close to heater or obstruct outlet with furniture.
Note:
The heater will not operate unless the room temperature is below that selected on the thermostat.
TO TURN THE HEATER OFF:
Simply switch off the red illuminated ON/OFF switch. DO NOT TURN DOWN THE THERMOSTAT.
BACK VENT OPERATION:
(B.V. Models only)
Warm air can be directed in either or both directions in any proportion. To heat main room pull chain in
rear register outwards to full extent and lock in position.
To obtain heat through rear register disengage chain and allow chain to be drawn back into register. Lock
chain at any desired position. When heating both main room and rear area, use only "HI" selection.
When Fitted with Dual Thermostat Only:
To heat one area only adjust rear register chain for one direction only.
Turn thermostat in unheated area to minimum setting. Adjust thermostat in heated area to obtain
desired temperature.
To heat both areas select temperature required in each area. Adjust rear register chain to give balanced
heating. Correct position will be found by trial and error.

The only moving part in your heater is the fan unit which is designed for long life. To maximize the life
of the heater we recommend that it be cleaned internally by a qualified electrician/service agent every
two years or as required.
