Version with switch and thermostat

The heater has 2 knobs controlling the switch and the thermostat.
The switch knob has 5 positions, allowing to select the desired power setting.
Starting from the “¿” position, turn the thermostat knob clockwise until you hear a “click”: the appliance starts working at the desired power setting.
The thermostat maintains the desired room temperature switching on and off automatically the appliance. The more the knob is turned clockwise, the higher is the maintained temperature. Maximum thermostat setting corresponds at about 30°C; “¿” position corresponds to approximately 5°C.
For correct use of the thermostat , see section “ USE OF THE THERMOSTAT”

Model with thermostat and 60′ timer

The heater has 2 knobs.
Turn the timer knob clockwise to select the working time you prefer from 5 to 60′. The heater starts working at full power (2000W) and thermostat setting doesn’t influence the functioning;
After the selected period the heater will automatically turn to mid-power (1000W), thermostatically controlled according to the thermostat setting. For the use of the thermostat see section 6.3.
When the heater is working under timer control at full power, the thermostat doesn’t control the room temperature. In this condition, do not use the heater in small rooms when they are occupied by persons not capable of leaving the room on their own, unless constant supervision is provided.

Use of the thermostat

In a room where the temperature is too high (more than 30°C), it is normal that the thermostat will not switch on the heater.
In a room where the temperature is too low (around 5°C or even less), it is also normal that the thermostat will keep the appliance working until the temperature gets higher.
To select the right thermostat position we suggest you to – turn the thermostat in maximum position (clockwise); – leave the appliance working until the comfortable temperature is reached; – turn the knob anti-clockwise until you hear a “click” and the appliance stops; – turn clockwise again the knob (just a little): in this position the thermostat will maintain the comfortable temperature you have selected.

Safety in the event of the product not functioning normally

In the event of overheating, the safety system will automatically turn off the heating elements and the motor. If this happens:
switch off the fan heater using the main switch;
remove the cause of overheating (i.e. obstacles in front of the air inlet or air outlet grilles, unusual accumulations of dirt, etc);
let the heater cool down for 15/20 minutes;
switch on the fan heater and check it is functioning properly.

If you notice irregular operation or damage to the heating element or to the structure of the appliance, disconnect the product from the mains power supply and contact your technical assistance center or dealer.

Maintenance

This heater does not require any particular maintenance.
We recommend you clean the air inlet and air outlet grilles at least twice a year with a vacuum cleaner, to remove dust from the motor and the heating elements.
If the heater needs to be repaired, please contact an authorized center.
If the cable is to be changed, please remember that a 2x1m2 H05VV-F cable must be used.
