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.
Check if the control switch is set to 'OFF' (O).
Fully extend the power cord and plug into a suitable 400V~50Hz earthed
socket. To prevent the circuit overloading, check that no other appliances are
connected to the same group.
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!
