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 230V-50Hz socket. Only connect the heater to an earthed socket!

Set-up and Operation

Turn the thermostat dial to maximum (clockwise as far as possible).
Switch the heater on by pushing the control switch to one of the following two positions:
- I Heating at half power (1000W (EK2K) or 1500W (EK3K))
- II Heating at full power (2000W (EK2K) or 3000W (EK3K))
- It is most economical to heat the space at full power, then to switch to half power to maintain the temperature.
Both at half and full power, the fan rotates at the same speed; the difference between the two lies in the number of heating elements in use.
Once the desired temperature is reached, turn the thermostat dial back slowly until you hear a click. The temperature is now set. The heater will automatically switch on and off to maintain the set temperature. To set a higher or lower temperature, turn the thermostat dial either clockwise or anticlockwise.
To switch the heater off, set the control switch to ‘0’ (off). Unplug.

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. 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.
