Description

EURO M EK heaters are ‘real space’ heaters, with a powerful fan that 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 with mode selector dial and thermostat dial
Adjustment knobs
Air outlet
Frame with handle

By loosening the adjustment knobs (2), the heater can be tilted in its frame so that the blow direction can be adjusted. Do not point it downwards onto flammable or heat-sensitive floors! For safety reasons, the tilt is limited. Re-tighten the knobs before using the heater again!

Control panel
The control panel consists of two dials:

The mode selector dial with 4 positions is located on the left:
– O or off
– fan and 1000W power
– fan and 2000W power
– fan and 3000W power
The continuously adjustable thermostat dial is located on the right.

Location and Connection

Remove all packaging material and keep it out of reach of children. After removing the 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, properly grounded 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.
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 is by turning it anticlockwise.

Aftercooling
The heater is supplied with an aftercooling system. When switching the heater off, turn the control knob to “off”. O. The heater will first ventilate in order to cool down internally.
This can take several minutes, depending on the ambient temperature. Then the heater will switch itself off. Make sure that you then remove the plug from the socket. With a
very high ambient temperature, the heater will keep on after aftercooling. In this case, you can only switch it off by removing the plug from the socket.

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 the heater to cool down for at least 10 minutes. 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.

Disposal

At its end of life, discard the device according to the local laws and regulations, or deliver the device to your supplier.
