The Fakir fan heater Handy SL is only suitable for alternating voltage
(220-240 V / 50 Hz). Stand the heater at the required location:
• Fit the two stands with the supplied screws to the bottom of the unit on the left and
right.
• Take the supply cable out of the cable storage, unwind completely and insert the plug
into a power supply socket.
• Switch on the fan heater at the function selector:
Pos. 0 OFF
Pos.
± only blower (without heat) ) via thermostat
Pos. 1 1000 watt heating ) with variable
Pos. 2 2000 watt heating ) temperature range
Pos. Ä frost gard setting
During setting of the switch to the above stages, the indicator light comes on. The heater
and the indicator light are switched off in the “0” position.
Room thermostat
The temperature setting is continuously variable with the thermostat control.
Setting:
max. temperature = turn clockwise
min. temperature = turn anti-clockwise
Turn the thermostat control all the way to the right (clockwise). When the desired room
temperature has been reached, turn knob anti-clockwise until the heater is switched off.
The heater automatically switches on again as the room temperature declines.
Frost guard setting Ä
Turn the knob to the frost guard setting so that the room temperature will not drop below
approx. +5°C ( for instance when absent for an extended period ). The appliance will then
automatically switch itself on at approx. +5°C, and off at +7°C, thereby preventing frost
damage.
Overheat safety cut-out
An overheat safety cut-out turns off the appliance in the event of a technical fault or if the
heater is not being used properly.
If the cut-out has been activated, then turn the selector switch knob to the “0” setting, dis-
connect the heater from the mains, and remedy the fault or ensure that the heater is being
properly used.
The overheat safety cut-out is reactivated after a short cooling down period, and the hea-
ter can once again be operated.
NOTE:
Always ensure that there is adequate space (min. 50cm) between appliance
and wall or other object. The outflowing air must not be obstructed by any
object.
