The device contains hot and/or glowing and sparking components. Do not, therefore, use where fuels, paint, flammable fluids and/or gases are stored. Do not use the device in an environment that poses a fire risk, e.g. near gas tanks, gas pipes or aerosols. This is an explosion and fire risk!
This device is not suitable for wall or ceiling installation.
Do not use this heater in the immediate surroundings of a bath, a shower or a swimming pool.
This device is splash-proof but even though it is a mobile device, it is not suitable for use in bathrooms or near a swimming pool. Do not place the device near water-points and/or water reservoirs. Make sure that the device cannot fall into water and that it cannot be penetrated by water. If the device does get wet make sure you remove the plug from the socket! Do not use a device that is wet inside but take it to be repaired. Never immerse the device, cable or plug in water or any other fluid and never touch device with wet hands.
The air around the device must be able to circulate freely. Never install it too close to walls or large objects and never under a shelf, cupboard, curtains or similar. When locating the device, make sure you have the following minimum free space:

To avoid overloading and/or fuses being blown, do not use any other equipment on the same socket or electrical group as the one used for the device.
Unroll the electric cable for the device fully before inserting the plug into the socket and ensure that the electrical cable does not come into contact with the fireplace or get hot. Do not run the electrical cable under carpet, cover with mats, runners or similar and do not place in areas that are walked on frequently. Ensure that it cannot be stepped on and that no furniture is placed on top of it. Do not bend the electrical cable around sharp corners and do not roll up too tightly after use! Prevent the electrical cable coming into contact with oil, solvents and sharp objects. Check the cable and plug regularly for damage. Do not bend or pinch the electrical cable and do not wind it around the device; this could damage the insulation!
The use of an extension cable is not advised as this can lead to overheating and fire. If the use of an extension cable is unavoidable, make sure that it is not damaged and that it is an approved extension cable with a minimum diameter of 4×2,5 mm² and a minimum permitted capacity of 6000 Watt. Always fully extend the cable in order to prevent overheating.
Only connect the device to a fixed socket. Do not use multi-plug adapters or similar.
During use, the plug may begin to feel warm; this is normal. If it’s really warm, there may be something wrong with the socket. Please contact your electrician.

Description

Elektro-Heizlüfter 5000 Watt are ‘real space’ heaters, with a powerful fan which disseminates a great deal of air. Cold air is sucked in at the back, heated, and then blown out as hot air. Because a relatively large quantity of air is sucked in and blown out, the air expelled by the heater does not feel particularly hot. As a great deal of air is heated and blown out, however, the entire space (not just the air around the heater!) is gradually warmed up.

Control panel

The control panel consists of two dials:

EUROM-EK3001-3000-Watts-Electric-Fan-Heater-FIG-2

Left: mode selector dial with 4 positions.

O or off
fan only
2500W power (low)
5000W power (high)

Right: continuously adjustable thermostat dial.

On the top of Elektro-Heizlüfter 5000 Watt there is also the reset point (see Safety features).

Location and Connection

Remove all packaging material and keep out of reach of children. After removing packaging, check the appliance for damage or other signs that could indicate a fault/defect/malfunction. In case of doubt, do not use the appliance, but contact your vendor for inspection or replacement.
Select a suitable location for the device taking into account all the aforementioned warnings in this manual.
Make sure the heater is switched off (switch to O position), then plug into a correctly functioning 400V-50Hz socket. Only connect the heater to an earthed socket!

Set-up and Operation

If the heater is being used for the first time (or if you want to reset the desired temperature), turn the thermostat dial to the maximum position (clockwise as far as it goes). With the mode selector dial, adjust the heater to suit your preferences: fan only, low power or high power. Once the temperature in the area being heated has reached the right level, slowly turn the thermostat dial anticlockwise until you hear a soft click; leave the dial in that position. The heater will automatically maintain the temperature at this level. It does this by switching the heating elements off and on when the temperature rises or falls too much. If so desired, you can now switch to a lower power level. To switch off, turn the power switches to O (off). The heater switches off. Unplug.

Note: After the thermostat has switched the heating elements off, the fan will keep turning. This means that the air is constantly moved, allowing the heater to accurately detect if the area is cooling down. The thermostat dial is continuously adjustable. A higher temperature is set by turning it clockwise; a lower temperature by turning it anticlockwise.

Safety features

In case of internal overheating, the overheating safeguard will switch the heater off. If this occurs, immediately turn the mode selector dial to O, unplug and allow heater to cool down for at least 10 minutes.

Reset button

You must now reset the device by firmly pressing the reset button on the top of the device.
In theory, the heater can now be used as normal.
There is, however, generally a reason for an appliance overheating. This may be because the heater cannot adequately release its heat or take in fresh air (because the heater is covered, the grills are blocked, the heater is placed too near a wall etcetera). Before using the heater again, therefore, remove or adjust whatever caused the appliance to overheat.
If you cannot find the cause and overheating recurs, stop using the heater and contact your vendor or a certified electrician for inspection/repair. Overheating poses a serious fire risk!

Cleaning and Maintenance

Keep the heater clean. Deposits of dust and dirt in the appliance are a common cause of overheating so these should be removed regularly. Switch off the heater, remove the plug from the socket and allow the heater to cool down before cleaning or carrying out maintenance work..

Wipe the outside of the heater regularly with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use aggressive soaps, sprays, cleaners or abrasives, waxes, polishes or chemical solutions!
Use a vacuum cleaner or compressor to carefully remove any dust and dirt from the grills and ensure that the air intake and outlet openings are clean. Be careful not to touch or damage any internal parts during cleaning!
The heater contains no other parts which need maintenance.
At the end of the season, store the cleaned heater in the original packaging if possible. Store upright in a cool, dry and dust-free place.
