2. thermostat dial
3. pilot light
4. handle
5. air outlet grill
6. air intake grill (reverse side)

Set-up and operation

• 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.
• Check if the control dial is set to ‘OFF’ (O).
• Fully extend the power cord and plug into a suitable 230V socket. To prevent the circuit overloading, check that no other appliances are connected to the same group.
• Turn the thermostat dial to maximum (clockwise as far as possible).
• Switch the heater on by turning the control dial to one of the following three positions:

Fan only (thermostat always to maximum)
I Heating at half power (1000W)
II Heating at full power (2000W)
The light at the front will turn on.
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. When the heater switches off, the pilot light turns off as well. To set a higher or lower temperature, turn the thermostat dial either clockwise or anticlockwise.
• To switch the heater off set the power dial to ‘0’ (off). The pilot light will turn off. The pilot light, in other words, indicates that the heater is switched on, not that the heater is connected to the mains!
• 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 if 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, obstructing the air intake and/or outlet grills or installing the heater too close to a wall or something similar. When the overheating safeguard switches the heater off, set the mode selector dial to ‘0’ (off), 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!
• Using a vacuum cleaner, 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.
