FUNCIONAMIENTO
1. Cuidadosamente retire el Calefactor de la bolsa y la caja.
2. Coloque el Calefactor sobre una superficie firme y nivelada.
CUIDADO:
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. Asegúrese que el
Interruptor de Encendido
esté en la posición
APAGADO oprimiendo (0).
(Figura 1)
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. Para ENCENDER el Calefactor oprima el
Interruptor de
Encendido
a (l). La luz del interruptor se encenderá.
6. Cuando el Interruptor de Encendido está ENCENDIDO,
el Calefactor liberará calor constantemente hasta que el
Interruptor de Encendido sea APAGADO.
7. Para APAGAR el Calefactor oprima el
Interruptor de Encendido
a (o) y desconecte el Calefactor del tomacorriente eléctrico.
8. Cuando se lo encienda por primera vez, el Calefactor estará en
calor

FUNCIONAMIENTO DEL TERMOSTATO
REGULANTE
1. Coloque la
Perilla del Termostato Regulante
en la posición
deseada ( ). Antes de ajustar el termostato regulante, deje que
el Calefactor funcione y caliente la habitación.
2. Cuando se haya logrado el nivel de comodidad a la temperatura
deseada, baje la posición del termostato hasta que oiga un “clic”.
Esto se hace moviendo la
Perilla del Termostato Regulante
hacia la posición Bajo ( ). El termostato regulante ahora
quedará ajustado en la posición baja.
3. Es normal que el Calefactor oscile entre un vataje alto y bajo
mientras mantiene la temperatura ambiente.
NOTA: El motor
del ventilador no cambia cuando el calefactor está alternando
entre calor alto y bajo.
Cuando el Interruptor de Encendido
está ENCENDIDO (iluminado), el Calefactor está constantemente
energizado para liberar aire calentado. Para APAGAR el
Calefactor oprima el (o) en el Interruptor de Encendido.
