Full details

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.

FAQs

Can this heater be used in a bathroom?

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.

Does it have a thermostat?

The unit relies on timer functions for operation rather than a room-sensing thermostat.

How long is the power cable?

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.

Is it safe to leave on overnight?

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.

What does the cyclic timer do?

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.

Troubleshooting

Heater is not warming up.

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 unit shut off unexpectedly.

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Energy-efficient 180W operation for low-cost background heating
  • Versatile timer settings including countdown and cyclic modes
  • Built-in thermal safety cut-out for peace of mind
  • Slim, space-saving design suitable for greenhouses and sheds
  • Easy to install with included mounting brackets

Cons

  • Not powerful enough to heat large or drafty living spaces
  • Requires proximity to a power outlet due to cord length
  • Surface can get hot to the touch during operation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
