Set-up and Operation
Set the power switches to off (underside not depressed) and the thermostat dial
to HIGH (maximum).
Plug in the heater.
In order to switch on the heater, set one or both power switches to l.c.q. II. The
light(s) on the related switch(es) turn(s) on and the heater starts to function. For
slow heating, a small rise in temperature or a small space, choose setting I
(800W). For quick heating, a bigger temperature rise or a larger space, choose
setting II (1200W). I and II together give full power (2000W).
Once the space has reached the right temperature, turn the thermostat dial to
LOW until you hear a click. If you leave the dial in this position, the heater will
maintain the current temperature by regularly switching on and off. When the
heater is switched on, the light(s) will go on. By turning the thermostat dial to the
left/right, you increase/decrease the set temperature.
If so desired, you can now switch to a lower power level.
To switch off, turn the power switches to off
– press back). The heater switches
off. Unplug.
Note! It takes a long time for an oil filled radiator to cool down. Give the radiator
sufficient time to cool down before touching or moving (use handle!).
Turbo
The RK2009Turbo is fitted with an extra ceramic heating element (400W) with an
integral fan that can blow warm air into the room. Activate this Turbo by pressing the
turbo switch on (I) the lamp lights. Stop it by pressing the turbo switch off (0); the
lamp
extinguishs.
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 or 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 has switched
the heater off, you need to set the power switches to ‘O’ (off) and unplug the heater.
Give the heater time to cool down, remove the source of the overheating and use as
normal. If the problem persists or if you have not been able to trace the source of the
overheating, turn the heater off immediately and unplug. Contact a service point to
have the heater repaired.
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,
