The light at the front will turn on.
It is most economical to heat the space at full power, then to switch to half power
to maintain the temperature.
Both at half and full power, the fan rotates at the same speed; the difference
between the two lies in the number of heating elements in use.
Once the desired temperature is reached, turn the thermostat dial back slowly
until you hear a click. The temperature is now set. The heater will automatically
switch on and off to maintain the set temperature. When the heater switches off,
the pilot light turns off as well. To set a higher or lower temperature, turn the
thermostat dial either clockwise or anticlockwise.
The switch on the oscillating foot operates the oscillating function. O means the
heater is switched off, I means the heater is switched on.
To switch the heater off, first turn the oscillating function off, then set the control
dial to '0' (off). The pilot light will turn off. The pilot light, in other words, indicates
that the heater is switched on, not that the heater is connected to the mains!
Unplug.
Safety features
The heater is fitted with a tipping safeguard which automatically shuts off the
appliance if it inadvertently falls over. When the heater is returned to its upright
position, it will resume functioning as normal but, before reusing, switch if off, unplug
and check for damage. Do not use the heater if it is damaged or malfunctioning, but
have it inspected/repaired!
In case of internal overheating, the overheating safeguard will switch the heater off.
This may occur if the heater cannot give off enough heat or if it cannot draw in
enough fresh air. As mentioned above, this is generally caused by (partially) covering
the heater, obstructing the air intake and/or outlet grills or installing the heater too
close to a wall or something similar. When the heater has cooled down sufficiently, it
will in principle start again automatically, however if you do not remove the cause of
the cut-off then this will probably be repeated. Regular overheating can give rise to
irreparable damage.
When the overheating safeguard switches the heater off, set the mode selector dial
to 'OFF' (off), unplug and allow the heater to cool down. Remove and/or amend the
cause of overheating and reuse the heater as normal. If you cannot find a cause and
overheating recurs, stop using the heater, and take it in for inspection/repair.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Keep the heater clean. Deposits of dust and dirt in the appliance are a common
cause of overheating so these should be removed regularly. Switch off the heater,
remove the plug from the socket and allow the heater to cool down before cleaning or
carrying out maintenance work.
Wipe the outside of the heater regularly with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not
use aggressive soaps, sprays, cleaners or abrasives, waxes, polishes or
chemical solutions! Make sure that no water enters the appliance and leave it to
dry properly before using it again.
Using a vacuum cleaner, carefully remove any dust and dirt from the grills and
ensure that the air intake and outlet openings are clean. Be careful not to touch
or damage any internal parts during cleaning!
