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, II or III. 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.
To switch the heater off, first set the function selector to ‘0’(off), then remove
the plug from the socket.
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 ‘OFF’ (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,
