CONSEJOS PARA IDENTIFICAR PROBLEMAS
Si su calefactor se apaga inesperadamente o no funciona, es
probable que la función de seguridad descrita anteriormente se
haya activado para impedir el sobrecalentamiento.
1. Cerciórese de que el cable eléctrico esté enchufado en un
tomacorriente en buen estado.
2. Revise su posición del Termostato. El Calefactor podría estar
apagado porque alcanzó la temperatura deseada.
3. Si su Calefactor opera durante varios minutos y se apaga
repetidamente, es posible que el mismo requiera limpieza. Ver
la sección de Mantenimiento abajo.
Si tiene algún problema que no pueda resolverse con los
pasos indicados más arriba, contacte a Asistencia Técnica al
1-800-233-0268, de lunes a viernes, entre las 8am y las 5pm
(Horario Estándar del Este de los Estados Unidos).
FUNCIONAMIENTO
(Figura 1)
1. Retire cuidadosamente el Calefactor de su bolsa y caja.
2. Coloque el Calefactor sobre una superficie firme y plana.
Los tacos de plástico o hule, tales como las patas de esta unidad,
pueden pegarse a la superficie de los muebles y/o a los pisos de
madera. La unidad podría dejar un residuo capaz de oscurecer,
manchar o dejar marcas permanentes en el acabado de ciertas
superficies de muebles, incluyendo superficies de madera y/o
pisos de madera.
3. Cerciórese de que la
Perilla de Encendido
del Calefactor
esté en la posición de
APAGADO
(0) antes de enchufarlo a un
tomacorriente.
4. Conecte el cable a un tomacorriente de 120 voltios.
Asegúrese que el enchufe encaje firmemente en el
tomacorriente.
Cuando los enchufes quedan flojos dentro de
los tomacorrientes, podrían deslizarse parcial o
completamente fuera del tomacorriente con el menor
movimiento del cable adosado. Los tomacorrientes en
este estado podrían sobrecalentarse y representar un
peligro de incendio grave; si queda cubierto por una
cortina o tela, el peligro de incendio es todavía mayor.
5. Cuando el Calefactor se enchufa inicialmente, la luz roja
se encenderá para indicar que la unidad está recibiendo
electricidad. La luz roja permanecerá encendida hasta que el
Calefactor sea desenchufado del tomacorriente.
6. Gire la
Perilla de Encendido
a la posición deseada. ( ) para
Sólo Ventilador
, (1) para
Calor Bajo
y (2) para
Calor Alto
(1500
vatios).
7. Para hacer funcionar el Calefactor, gire la
Perilla del Termostato
a la posición más alta ( ) (Véase las instrucciones del
Termostato).
8. Al oprimir el
Botón de Oscilación
( ) el Calefactor podrá oscilar
de un lado al otro. Para detener la oscilación, oprima el
Botón
de Oscilación
( ) otra vez.
9.Para apagar el Calefactor, gire la
Perilla de Encendido
a la
posición de
APAGADO
(0), y desconecte del tomacorriente
eléctrico.
OPERACIÓN DEL TERMOSTATO
(Figura 2)
1. Fije la perilla del termostato al darle vuelta en el sentido de las
agujas del reloj hasta el símbolo de (+) y permita que el Calefactor
caliente la habitación.
2. Cuando se alcance el nivel de comodidad deseado, disminuya
el termostato hasta que se apague la unidad. Esto se realiza al
darle vuelta a la perilla del Termostato en el sentido contrario a las
agujas del reloj hasta el símbolo de (-).
3. El Calefactor mantendrá automáticamente el nivel de comodidad
deseado al realizar el ciclo de encendido (ON) y apagado (OFF).
Para una calefacción continua, fije el termostato hasta el símbolo (+).
NOTA: Se recomienda ajustar el termostato con cada uso. Los
cambios diarios en la temperatura externa y de la habitación
afectarán la posición en la cual su termostato se encenderá o
apagará.
FUNCIÓN DE SEGURIDAD
1. Se incorpora un protector para sobrecargas térmicas a fin de
impedir el sobrecalentamiento.
2.
Si se alcanza una temperatura de sobrecalentamiento,
el
Calefactor se apaga automáticamente. Sólo podrá reanudar su
funcionamiento una vez que se reinicie la unidad.
Para Reiniciar el Calefactor:
1. Desenchufe el Calefactor y espere 10 minutos para que la unidad
se enfríe.
2. Después de 10 minutos, enchufe el Calefactor nuevamente y
siga la INSTRUCCIÓN DE FUNCIONAMIENTO que se describe
en este manual de instrucciones.
