Turn the thermostat dial to maximum (clockwise as far as possible).
Then plug into a correctly functioning 230V socket.
Turn the heater on by pushing the on/off switch on (I pressed). The heater will
now begin to disseminate hot air and the pilot light lights up.
Once the desired temperature is reached, turn the thermostat dial back slowly
until you hear a click. The temperature is now set. The heater will automatically
switch on and off to maintain the set temperature. When the heater switches
off, the pilot light turns off as well. To set a higher or lower temperature, turn
the thermostat dial either clockwise or anticlockwise.
If you want to turn the heater off, push the on/off switch and then remove the
plug from the socket.
Safety features
Tipping safeguard
The heater is fitted with a tipping safeguard which automatically shuts off the
appliance if it inadvertently falls over. The heater will function as normal once it is
returned to its upright position. You are advised, however, to check the heater for
damage and defects!
Overheating safeguard
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 or 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, you need to turn the switch to ‘off’ and remove the plug
from the socket. Allow the heater to cool down and make sure that whatever
caused the overheating is removed or amended. The heater can then be reused. If
the problem persists or if you cannot find an obvious cause for the overheating,
turn the heater off immediately and take the plug out of the socket. Contact a
service point for 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 regularly be removed! Switch off the heater,
remove the plug from the socket and allow the heater to cool down before cleaning
or carrying out maintenance work.
Wipe the outside of the heater regularly with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do
not use aggressive soaps, sprays, cleaners or abrasives, waxes, polishes or
chemical solutions!
Use a vacuum cleaner to carefully remove any dust and dirt from the grills and
ensure that the air intake and outlet openings are clean. Be careful not to touch
or damage any internal parts during cleaning.
