- whether any objects, canvases, parasols, etc. have come within the safe distances.
- whether the socket you are using provides the correct voltage (220/240V-50Hz).
Set the switch to position 0, i.e. off (the switch is on the right side). When you've made all
of the checks, you can connect the device to the mains using the external switch (or insert
the plug into the socket). Use the switch to set the device to the appropriate setting:
I = manual controls
II = remote control
Manual control
Set the switch to I: the control light will come on. The device should now work. Once
the device is connected, it will take around 15 minutes to heat up to its usual working
temperature.
To switch it off, set the switch on the device back to 0. Then cut the power supply using
the external switch or take the plug out of the socket.
Remote control
Set the switch to II: the device is now in stand-by.
Put 2 small batteries into the remote control (AAA-1.5V). Point the remote control at
the device and push the ON button. The blue control light will come on. The device
should now work. Once the device is connected, it will take around 15 minutes to heat
up to its usual working temperature.
To switch the device off, point the remote control at the device and press the OFF
button. The device is now in stand-by.
To switch it off, set the switch on the device back to 0. Then cut the power supply using
the external switch or take the plug out of the socket.
If you are using the device for the first time (or when it has not been used for a while), you
must keep a close eye on it for the first 20-30 minutes to ensure that it is working
correctly. During initial use (and if the unit has not been used for a long period), white
smoke may be emitted from the device. This is normal and will stop after a few minutes.
During the warm-up period, the unit may sputter; this is nothing to worry about.
Cleaning, maintenance and service
It is important to clean the device regularly particularly if it hangs outdoors. Cleaning
extends the life-span of the device and ensures it works effectively. It is also a condition of
the guarantee.
Clean the device every 2-3 weeks (depending on the environment); clean weekly in a salty
environment. Salt in the air can penetrate the device and lead to rusting or erosion of the
metal. In an urban environment, air pollution can also impact upon the coating and other
materials which protect the device from rust and erosion.
You must thoroughly clean and inspect the device once every 3 months.
