HEATER OPERATION
Once the unit is powered up the blue display indicates the
ambient temperature in degree Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit
(°F). To change the units from °C to °F or vice versa, press
the two buttons with arrow signs on the right side of display
simultaneously for two (2) seconds.
IMPORTANT:
The 1
st
stage of heating (1000W) is a natural
convection type, it is normal that you feel heat coming out of
the grill even if the fan is not running. The fan will start only
with the 2
nd
stage of heating or in timer mode.
For the
set point temperature
, use the top arrow button ( )
and the down arrow button ( ) to adjust the setting between
10 to 35 °C (50 to 95 °F). When heater is on, four gradated
lines indicate the power level on the left side of the display.
For
timer mode (boost heating)
, use the hour-glass button
located on the left side of display. Press once to activate this
mode and to see the remaining time flashing (“min” is now
displayed in the bottom right corner). Display will stop flash-
ing after five (5) seconds. While the remaining time flashes,
press again the button on the left to set the minutes to
5, 10,
15, 20, 25 or 30
. If display does not flash any more, press
again the button on the left to turn off the timer. Whenever
needed in the timer mode, use the arrows located on the
right side to increase or decrease remaining time. When in
the timer mode ambient temperature is not displayed.
To turn on and off the
night light
use the button located
underneath. The night light is a low-consuming device due to
its technology.
