Set-up and operation
•
Switch the heater on by turning the mode selector dial to one of three positions:
I
II
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.
•
The thermostat serves to maintain a constant room temperature. To set the desired
temperature, turn the thermostat dial to its maximum position (clockwise as far as it
goes). Set the mode selector dial to I or II. Once the desired temperature is reached,
turn the thermostat dial back slowly until you hear a click. This causes the heater to
switch off. The heater will now automatically switch on and off to maintain the set
temperature.
•
The pressure switch between the thermostat and mode selector dial turns on the
oscillating function. Push in to operate the oscillating function and push again (to
release) and the function will switch off.
•
To switch the heater off, first turn off the oscillating function off, then set the mode
selector dial to '0' (off). Unplug.
Safety features
Tipping safeguard
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 off, unplug and check for
damage. Do not use the heater if it is damaged or malfunctioning, but have it
inspected/repaired!
Overheating safeguard
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. As the safeguard burns out if the device overheats, the heater cannot be reset in
case of overheating. In this instance, only a full repair can fix your heater. You should,
therefore, always keep the heater clean, make sure there is sufficient space around it and
never cover it!
