1. To turn on the heater
, first turn on switch ‘1’. The top heating element of the heater will now glow.
(Note: the thermostat has no effect in this lowest heat mode).
2. For high heat (without fan-
assist), turn on the switches ‘1’ and ‘2’. The top and bottom heating
elements will now glow, and the fan will turn on. Adjust the thermostat as desired.
3. To turn the unit off, select the
“OFF” power setting and set the thermostat control to the MIN
position, then unplug the heater at the power point. Allow the heater to cool down before
restarting it, if required.
NOTE
: The heater will take some time to cool after the power is shut off. Always wait until it has cooled
down before moving the heater, and then use the built-in carry handle for ease of movement.
NOTE:
When turning your heater on for the first time it is normal for the heater to emit a
‘new heater’
smell, which will quickly pass. There is no cause for concern. Ensure there is good ventilation.
NOTE:
When this device is overheated it is automatically turned off by a special security system. Unplug
the device and let it cool down before activating it again.
Overheating protection
The heater is fitted with an overheating protection which switches the appliance off automatically if it
becomes too hot internally. If this occurs, switch the heater off, unplug it and inspect and remove any
objects on or adjacent to the heater that may cause high temperatures. Wait 5-10 minutes for the unit to
cool down.
While this feature provides additional safety in case of overheating, first and foremost you should make
sure to eliminate all potential reasons that can lead to overheating and create a fire rise
THERMOSTAT
Your heater is also fitted with thermostat. This is the large rotary knob situated under the switches.
Heater will maintain the desired room temperature you select by turning the knob. Turn clockwise to
maintain a higher temperature; anti-clockwise for a lower temperature. When the desired room
temperature is reached, the thermostat will automatically switch off the bottom element only. If the room
temperature drops below the desired comfort level, the thermostat will automatically switch the bottom
element back on and so forth, maintaining your desired comfort level.
Preventing overheating
To prevent overheating, check and ensure that the appliance can sufficiently dissipate the heat generated.
This is particularly important in case the overheat protection has been activated.
• Is the appliance covered?
Make sure the unit is NOT covered.
• Is the appliance too close to a wall or other obstacle? Always maintain a minimum clearance of 50cm to
any furniture or wall.
• Are the grilles on the front or back clear? Make sure the air intake and outlet grilles are free of dust, lint
and obstructions.
If you cannot eliminate the problem, and the overheating protection triggers a second time, contact our
customer service support and arrange for return of the appliance for inspection or repair.
