Switch the heater on by turning the control dial to one of the following three positions:
800W, 1600W or 2400W. It is most economical to heat the space at full power, then to
switch to a lower power to maintain the temperature.
At all powers, the fan rotates at the same speed; the difference 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. To set a higher or lower temperature, turn the
thermostat dial either clockwise or anticlockwise.
To switch the heater off, set the control dial to '0' (off). 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 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 overheating safeguard switches the heater off, set the mode selector dial
to '0' (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!
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!
The heater contains no other parts which need maintenance.
At the end of the season, store the cleaned heater in the original packaging if necessary.
Store it upright in a cool, dry and dust-free place.
Do not dispose of heater with household waste when it becomes worn or
damaged beyond repair. Take it to your local authority's collection point for
electrical appliances where any reusable materials will be collected and
redistributed.
