Before using the heater, the feet (supplied separately) must be fitted. The feet are to be attached to the heater body using the wing nuts provided. The heater must only be operated in the normal upright position with the feet fitted at the bottom.

Step 1. Carefully turn the radiator body upside down on a scratch-free and stable surface to prevent damage to the paint finish or your floor surfacing.

Step 2. Fit the castor plates onto the radiator. The plate with fixed castors should be fitted between the last two fins, and the plate with swing castors should be fitted under the metal control box.

Step 3. Secure the castor plates onto the radiator by screwing the wing nuts.

Step 4. Turn the radiator upright. The heater is now ready for use.

The heater must be operated in an upright position as shown in the manual.

This heater is for floor use only. Do not mount on ceiling or walls.

Place the heater on a firm, level, flat, dry and stable floor surface.

The heater must have at least 50cm clearance from the sides and 100cm from the front to any objects or walls.

Do not place the heater on beds, carpets, rugs, or any unstable surface.

Keep combustible materials such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 1m from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.

Position the heater so the airflow is not directed at or near any person or object.

Do not place the heater in areas where gasoline, paint or flammable liquids are used or stored.

1. Plug the heater into a mains power outlet.

2. Set the power switch to the desired power level. There are three settings:

• I for Low heat setting

• II for Medium heat setting

• III for High heat setting

3. Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise to the desired temperature position. A higher setting will make the room warmer. Turn the thermostat to MAX position for rapid heating. The heater will cycle on and off to maintain your desired heat setting.

4. The red power indicator will light up when the heater is working and will turn off when the thermostat switches the heater off.

5. When you have finished using the heater, turn the power switch to the OFF (0) position and unplug the power cord from the mains power outlet.

The timer knob has 96 segments around its circumference, each segment representing 15 minutes.

1. Before use, ensure the heater is plugged into a mains power socket.

2. Turn the outer dial of the timer clockwise until the triangle pointer is aligned with the current time of day. A full 24-hour cycle is marked around the dial.

3. To set the ON time, push the black segments outwards corresponding to the desired operating time. For example, if you want the heater to be on from 7 PM (19:00) to 10 PM (22:00), push all the segments between 19 and 22 outwards.

4. To activate the timer, set the slide switch to the timer symbol. If the slide switch is set to “I”, the timer is bypassed, and the heater will operate continuously. If the slide switch is set to “0”, the heater is completely off.

5. Select your desired power setting (I, II, or III) and adjust the thermostat knob.

6. The heater will turn ON and OFF according to the timer settings. The timer will continue to operate as long as the heater is connected to the mains power.

Important Note: If you want to use the timer, the heater MUST be left connected to the mains power outlet. If the mains power is disconnected, the timer clock will stop and will need to be reset when power is restored.

The remote control requires one CR2025 lithium battery (included).

For first-time use, pull out the plastic film to activate the battery.

To replace the battery:

1. Squeeze the locking tab and pull out the battery tray from the back of the remote control.

2. Place the battery in the battery tray with the positive (+) side facing up.

3. Insert the battery tray back into the remote control.

Note: Point the remote control at the remote signal receiver located on the front of the heater for operation.

The remote control functions are the same as the manual controls on the heater itself. First, ensure the power switch on the heater is set to one of the power levels (I, II, or III).

Before cleaning, ensure the heater is unplugged from the mains supply and has completely cooled down.

1. Clean the exterior surfaces of the heater by wiping with a damp cloth (not wet) and then dry with a dry cloth. Do not use any detergents or abrasives and do not allow any water to enter the heater.

2. To store the heater, first let it cool down completely.

3. Wind the power cord around the cord storage holder.

4. Store the heater in a cool, dry, and clean place. Storing it in its original packaging is recommended.

If your ANKO AOH105 heater is not working, please check the following:

• Check that the heater is plugged in and the power outlet is switched on.

• Check that the heater is in the ON position.

• Check that the thermostat is not set too low. To increase the temperature setting, rotate the thermostat knob clockwise.

• The room temperature may be higher than the thermostat setting. The heater will switch on when the room temperature drops below the thermostat setting.

A small amount of smoke may be produced during first use or when the heater has not been used for a long period of time. This is normal and will disappear quickly. Ensure the room is well-ventilated.

If the smell persists, it could be due to contamination (hair, dust, etc.) inside the heater. Stop using the heater and have it checked and cleaned by a qualified electrical person.

This noise is normal. It is caused by the metal elements expanding and contracting as they heat up and cool down.
