Operation
1. Position the fan heater so that it stands upright on
a firm, level surface and at a safe distance from
wet environments and flammable objects.
2. Connect the fan heater to the proper electrical
power. See Grounding instructions
(Page 8 and Figure 2)
3. Set the thermostat dial to the maximum
temperature.
4. The fan heater will switch on when the function
selector dial is set to one of the three power
settings.
5. Once the room reaches the desired temperature,
turn the thermostat dial back until heating element
turns off.
Automatic Overheat Safety Control
– This heater is equipped with safety internal
heat limiting thermostat and overheat protection
circuit. When a potential overheat temperature is
reached, the system will automatically shut the
heater off at 158 ºF
(70 ºC).
Caution Light
– The Caution Light will illuminate when the
Overheat Safety Control is activated. The heating
element will be shut off until the unit has cooled to
a safe level.
– The fan will continue to operate.
– Once the heater has reached a safe level (131 ºF
/ 55 ºc), the heater will turn back on automatically.
Thermostat Instructions
– At first, set the thermostat to “+” and let the heater
operate with full power input. When the room
temperature reaches the required value, turn the
thermostat to the left until it switches off.
– The thermostat will then switch on and off
automatically to control the room temperature
according to the preset value and keep the room
temperature constant.
– When using the heater for the first time, you may
notice a slight emission of smoke. This is quite
normal and it stops after a short time. The heating
element is made of steel and was coated with
a layer of protective oil during production. The
smoke is caused by the leftover oil as it is heated.
Grounding Instructions
– This heater is for use on 240 (or 208) volts. The
cord has a plug as shown in figure 2 (below). No
adapter is available for this blade configuration,
and none should be used. The type outlet is a
240 (or 208) volt grounding outlet. When properly
installed, it provides a ground connection through
the cord to the heater to protect the operator from
electric shock.
– Be sure that the electrical receptacle is of the
configuration and capacity appropriate for the
heater.
Cleaning and Maintenance
– Before cleaning the appliance, disconnect it from
the outlet and let it cool down.
– In order to protect the enclosure, don’t splash
water onto the heater, and never use a solvent
like gasoline, isoamyl acetate, toluene, etc. to
clean the heater
– The enclosure is easy to get dirty. Wipe it often
with a soft sponge. For very dirty parts, wipe
with a sponge dipped in < 122°F water and mild
detergent, then dry the heater enclosure with a
clean cloth. Be careful not to let the water enter
the inside of the appliance.
