Location and Connection
•
Remove all packaging material and keep out of reach of children. After removing
packaging, check the appliance for damage or other signs that could indicate a
fault/defect/malfunction. In case of doubt, do not use the appliance, but contact your
vendor for inspection or replacement.
•
Select a suitable location for the device taking into account all the aforementioned
warnings in this manual.
•
Make sure the heater is switched off (switch to O position), then plug into a correctly
functioning, properly grounded socket.
Set-up and Operation
•
If the heater is being used for the first time (or if you want to reset the desired
temperature), turn the thermostat dial to the maximum position (clockwise as far as it
goes).
•
With the mode selector dial, adjust the heater to suit your preferences: fan only, low
power or high power.
•
Once the temperature in the area being heated has reached the right level, slowly turn
the thermostat dial anticlockwise until you hear a soft click; leave the dial in that
position. The heater will automatically maintain the temperature at this level. It does
this by switching the heating elements off and on when the temperature rises or falls
too much.
•
Note! After the thermostat has switched the heating elements off, the fan will keep
turning. This means that the air is constantly moved, allowing the heater to accurately
detect if the area is cooling down.
•
The thermostat dial is continuously adjustable. A higher temperature is set by turning it
clockwise; a lower temperature by turning it anticlockwise.
Safety features
In case of internal overheating, the overheating safeguard will switch the heater off. If this
occurs, immediately turn the mode selector dial to O, unplug and allow heater to cool down
for at least 10 minutes. In theory, the heater can now be used as normal. There is, however,
generally a reason for an appliance overheating. This may be because the heater cannot
adequately release its heat or take in fresh air (because the heater is covered, the grills are
blocked, the heater is placed too near a wall etcetera). Before using the heater again,
therefore, remove or adjust whatever caused the appliance to overheat. If you cannot find
the cause and overheating recurs, stop using the heater and contact your vendor or a
certified electrician for inspection/repair. Overheating poses a serious fire risk!
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
