Do not use a multiple socket as this appliance is too powerful.
Do not connect any other powerful devices to the same electric circuit.

Operation

Electric Connection

Make sure the voltage of the appliance (see rating label) matches the mains voltage to be used.
Set the function control knob to 0.
Unwind the mains cable completely.
Only connect the mains plug with a properly installed earthed socket.

Setting the Temperature

The thermostat constantly switches the fan heater on and off, thereby keeping the temperature at the desired level. Set the desired temperature as followed:

Set the temperature control to its highest setting.
Once the desired temperature has been reached, slowly turn the temperature control back, until the fan heater switches off audibly. The indicator lamp turns off.
NOTE:
The audible position of the temperature control depends on the ambient temperature.
The fan heater will then keep the desired temperature level.
