OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE : When switched on for the first time
a slight odour may be emitted for a few
minutes. This is harmless and occurs with most
appliances as slight traces of dust or lubricants
may have collected during manufacture.
• Place the heater on a level surface in a
stable upright position.
• Ensure power switches are in the “OFF”
position and the thermostat is in the “
*
”
(OFF) position.
• Unwind the power cord and plug your
heater into a power socket (observing the
instructions regarding positioning). Ensure
the voltage on the specification plate is the
same as in your home and the power cord
is lying safely on the ground.
• Switch the heater ON by selecting:
KPE216-161 KPE216-163

Left switch “ON” 600W 1000W
Right switch “ON” 900W 1400W

• The heater operates when both the power
switch and thermostat function are activated
– the red indicator lights will turn on.
Positioning of the Heater
The heater should only be operated at a
minimum distance of 1 metre from any wall
or other object. Position the heater in order to
optimize the air flow of the room.
Thermostat Function
• Set the desired room temperature by
turning the thermostat dial clockwise to
the desired position. You may adjust the
temperature during use. To turn down the
thermostat turn the dial anti-clockwise.
• To find the ideal thermostat setting for you,
first set the knob to the maximum position.
As soon as the temperature is comfortable,
turn the thermostat down slowly, until the
heater turns off. The heater will keep the
surrounding air at this set temperature
by switching on and off at intervals. The
indicator light lights up when the heater is
on.
• To switch the heater off fully, turn the power
switches to “OFF” and the thermostat to
“
