FAQs

Can this heater be left on 24/7?

Is this heater waterproof?

It is not waterproof. It is intended for indoor use in dry, sheltered environments like sheds or greenhouses.

How much electricity does it use?

As a 120W heater, it consumes 0.12 kWh per hour, making it a very economical choice for long-term heating.

Does it come with a plug?

Yes, the unit comes with a standard UK plug for immediate use.

Can I mount this on the ceiling?

It is designed for wall or floor mounting only. Do not mount it on the ceiling.

Will this heater dry out my clothes?

It is not designed as a clothes dryer and should not have items draped over it to prevent fire risks.

Troubleshooting

Heater is plugged in but will not power on.

Check the power source and ensure the digital timer is not set to a delayed start mode or a 'hidden' off-cycle.

The unit turns off unexpectedly.

The thermal cut-out may have triggered if the heater was covered or airflow was restricted. Clear any obstructions and let it cool before restarting.

Timer settings are not being saved.

Ensure the power supply remains constant; if the power is cut, some digital timers may reset to default settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward: use the provided brackets to secure the heater to a wall or floor, ensuring there is adequate space for airflow around the tube. Avoid covering the heater or placing it directly against flammable materials. For care, ensure the unit is disconnected from the power supply and completely cooled before wiping it down with a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth. Periodically inspect the mounting brackets to ensure they remain tight and check the power cord for any signs of wear. The heater is designed for indoor use; if installing in a damp environment like a shed, ensure the electrical connection is protected from direct water ingress.
