Usage Features:
The Goldair GSOC145 oil column heater offers several features for user convenience and control:
- Control Panel: The heater features a control panel with a switch for adjusting the heating level. The available settings are:
- Minimum heating
- Medium heating
- Maximum heating
- Thermostatic Control: A thermostatic knob allows users to set and maintain a desired room temperature. To use this feature, the user rotates the knob clockwise to the maximum position. Once the room reaches a comfortable temperature, the knob is slowly turned anti-clockwise until the heater clicks off. The heater will then cycle on and off automatically to maintain the set comfort level. Users are advised to note this setting for future use.
- Assembly: The heater requires some assembly before use, primarily attaching the castor wheels. The process involves:
- Turning the heater upside down on a non-scratching, stable surface.
- Fitting the castors to the castor plates by pressing them onto the spindle until they click into place (requiring significant force).
- Attaching the first castor plate to the heater using a U-shaped bolt between the outermost fin (away from the control side) and securing it with a wing nut.
- Attaching the second castor plate (right angle version) to the bottom of the control panel with the castors pointing forwards, and then securing it with two screws.
- Important Note on Assembly: Correct assembly of the wheel assemblies as per the diagram is crucial for the heater's stability.
- Placement: The heater should always be placed on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. It is crucial to maintain a minimum distance of 1 meter from the front, sides, and rear of the appliance to any objects, textiles, curtains, or flammable materials to reduce the risk of fire.
- Power Connection: The heater should be plugged directly into a wall socket. If an extension cord is used, it must be correctly specified, undamaged, and used safely. The power cord should not be tight when plugged in, as a partially inserted plug can overheat and cause fire.
- Safety Warnings:
- Do Not Cover: The appliance must not be covered, as this presents a fire risk and will activate the safety fuse, permanently disabling the unit.
- No External Switching Devices: To avoid accidental resetting of the thermal cut-out, the heater must not be supplied through an external switching device (e.g., a timer) or connected to a circuit regularly switched on and off by the utility.
- No Unattended Use: The heater should never be left unattended when in use.
- Restricted Use in Small Rooms: Do not use this appliance in small rooms when occupied by persons not capable of leaving the room on their own, unless constant supervision is provided.
- Children and Persons with Reduced Capabilities: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless supervised or instructed by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
- Damaged Cord: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard.
- General Safety: Do not use the appliance if it has been dropped or damaged. Do not twist, kink, or wrap the cord around the appliance. Ensure all cord is unrolled before use. Do not place the cord under carpet or cover it with rugs or furniture. Arrange the cord to prevent tripping hazards. Do not place the appliance on bedding or thick/long carpet where openings may be blocked. Switch off and use the handle when moving. Do not place the appliance close to radiant heat sources. Do not insert foreign objects into ventilation or exhaust openings. Do not sit on the appliance.
- Liquid Immersion: The appliance must not be immersed in any liquids. Do not use it in the immediate surrounds of a bath, shower, swimming pool, or other liquids.
- Storage: Do not place the unit in wardrobes or other enclosed spaces as this may cause fire hazards. This unit is not intended for use where foodstuffs, works of art, or delicate scientific articles are stored.
- Safety Devices: The heater incorporates three protection devices:
- Tilt Switch: Automatically turns the appliance off if it is not in the correct operating position.
- Resettable Thermal Link: Automatically disconnects power at a pre-set overheat temperature. It will reset and power on again after cooling down. If this occurs, the cause of overheating should be investigated.
- Thermal Fuse: Permanently disconnects the appliance in case of overheating (non-resettable).
Maintenance Features:
Regular cleaning is essential for trouble-free operation of the Goldair GSOC145 heater:
- Cleaning Procedure:
- Unplug the heater from the mains supply before cleaning.
- Allow the heater to cool down completely.
- Remove dust or fluff deposits, which are a common cause of overheating, by vacuum cleaning the air vents and grills.
- Wipe the exterior of the heater with a damp (not wet) cloth rinsed in hot soapy water to remove dust and dirt.
- Never use solutions such as petrol, thinners, or polishing agents.
- Ensure the heater is dry before plugging it back into the mains supply.
