- Now insert the plug into the socket .
- Operate the heater by pressing one or both power buttons: 1 button pressed= 1000 W, both buttons pressed= 2000 W. The heater will start working. To heat up slowly, for a slight temperature increase or ina small space, press one button (1000 W). To heat up quickly, for a larger temperature increase or in a larger space, press both buttons (2000 W).
- Once the space has reached the right temperature, turn the thermostat dial to Min until you hear a click.
- The light goes out and the heater shuts down. If you leave the dial in this position, the heater will maintain the current temperature by regularly switching on and Min Max off. When the heater is switched on, the light will go on. By turning the thermostat dial to the left/right, you decrease/increase the set temperature.
- If so desired, you can now switch to a lower power level.
- To switch off, press the depressed power button(s) again. The button(s) will come up again. The heater switches off. Unplug.

Safety features
Tipping safeguard
The heater is fitted with a tipping safeguard which automatically shuts off the appliance if it inadvertently falls over. When the heater is returned to its upright position, it will resume functioning as normal but, before reusing, switch off, unplug and check for damage. Do not use the heater if it is damaged or malfunctioning, but have it inspected/repaired.
Overheating safeguard
In case of internal overheating, the overheating safeguard will switch the heater off. This may occur if the heater cannot give off enough heat or if it cannot draw in enough fresh air. As mentioned above, this is generally caused by (partially) covering the heater, blocking the air inlet and outlet openings or installing the heater too close to a wall or something similar. When the heater has cooled down sufficiently, it will in principle start again automatically, however, if you do not remove the cause of the cut-off then this will probably be repeated. Regular overheating can give rise to irreparable damage. If the overheating protection switches the heater off, you must switch off the power buttons (buttons raised), unplug and allow the heater to cool down. Remove and/or amend the cause of overheating and reuse the heater as normal. If you cannot find a cause and overheating recurs, stop using the heater, and take it in for inspection/repair.
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!
- Carefully use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt from the grills.
- 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. If necessary, remove the wheel supports.
DISPOSL: At its end of life, discard the device according to the local laws and regulations, or deliver the device to your supplier.
