Operating mode rotary knob
DFH 22 Fan Heater 03 Thermostat control rotary knob
The room temperature is regulated using the continuously adjustable thermostat. Turn the thermostat control rotary knob to the right stop at the start (maximum). When the desired room temperature is reached, turn the thermostat control rotary knob slowly to the left until the device switches off. The device now switches on and off automatically to maintain the desired room temperature. There may be an audible click during this process.
If the thermostat rotary knob is set to the lowest setting i.e. to the extreme left, the thermostat switches the heating device on at an ambient temperature of approx. 5 °C. Using the operating mode rotary knob, two heating levels and a cold air level can be selected. In the cold air fan operation, turn the thermostat rotary knob to the right stop (maximum). The device is equipped with a safety toggle switch. The device switches off automatically if it is not in its correct position.

Overload protector

For your safety, the heating device is equipped with an overload protector. If the permissible temperature is exceeded, the heating device switches off automatically. In this case, the power supply to the heating device should be disconnected (switch off the fuse) to allow the device to cool down sufficiently. Before recommissioning the device, resolve the reasons (e.g. air grille positioned incorrectly or covered) for the overload protector being triggered. If the overload protector is repeatedly triggered, decommission the device and contact your electronics retailer.
