The MYLEK 180W Tubular Heater is an efficient, low-cost heating solution designed for users needing consistent background warmth in smaller, enclosed spaces like greenhouses, sheds, garages, or kennels. It is an ideal tool for frost protection or keeping windows clear of mist; however, please note that this unit is intended for background heat maintenance rather than serving as a primary heating source for large, uninsulated rooms.

This unit is designed for spaces like sheds, garages, and greenhouses. It should not be used in high-humidity areas like bathrooms unless specified otherwise by local safety regulations regarding IP ratings.
The unit relies on timer functions for operation rather than a room-sensing thermostat.
The heater comes with a standard length power lead; however, if you need extra reach, ensure you use a high-quality, safety-rated extension lead suitable for the wattage.
Yes, it is designed for long-term background heating and includes a thermal cut-out for safety, provided it is installed in a clear space with no flammable materials nearby.
The cyclic timer allows you to program the heater to turn on and off at regular, repeating intervals, which is ideal for maintaining consistent temperatures over a multi-day period.
Check that the unit is plugged in correctly, the power is switched on at the socket, and verify that the timer is not currently in a 'timed off' cycle.
The thermal cut-out may have been triggered. Ensure the heater is not covered and that there is adequate airflow around the unit. Allow it to cool down before resetting.
To install, use the provided mounting brackets to secure the unit to a sturdy wall at least 20cm above the floor to allow for proper airflow. Ensure the heater is placed in a position where the cable can reach an indoor-rated power socket without being strained. Compatibility is excellent for most standard domestic electricity supplies. For care, keep the exterior of the metal tube clean from dust and debris by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth while the unit is unplugged and fully cooled. Never cover the heater with fabrics, blankets, or drying clothes, as this can trigger the thermal cut-out or lead to a fire hazard.
