Fellow adjusts rate of radiator (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heater

'radiator' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fellow adjusts rate' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'he' ('he' refers to a man).
'adjusts' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'adjusting' mean this).
'rate' anagrammed gives 'ater'.
'he'+'ater'='HEATER'

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for heater that I've seen before include "Source of warmth; gun" , "Radiator" , "Room warmer" , "fire" , "Warming device" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
