The device is exclusively intended for normal, household usage. Only use for providing heat in your home.
Connection voltage and frequency, as given on the device, must correspond to that of the socket to be used and the electrical installation must be equipped with an earth leakage circuit breaker of 30 mA. The electrical socket that you are using must be to hand at all times in order to be able to remove the plug from the socket in the event of an emergency.
To avoid overloading and/or fuses being blown, do not use any other equipment on the same socket or electrical group as the one used for the device.
Unroll the electric cable for the device fully before inserting the plug into the socket and ensure that the electrical cable does not come into contact with the fireplace or get hot. Do not run the electrical cable under the carpet, cover it with mats, runners, or similar, and do not place it in areas that are walked on frequently. Ensure that it cannot be stepped on and that no furniture is placed on top of it. Do not bend the electrical cable around sharp corners and do not roll up too tightly after use! Prevent the electrical cable from coming into contact with oil, solvents, and sharp objects. Check the cable and plug regularly for damage. Do not bend or pinch the electrical cable and do not wind it around the device; this could damage the insulation!
The use of an extension cable is not advised as this can lead to overheating and fire. If the use of an extension cable is unavoidable, make sure that it is not damaged and that it is an approved extension cable with a minimum diameter of 2×2,5 mm²and a minimum permitted capacity of 2000 Watt. Always fully extend the cable in order to prevent overheating.

Set-up and operation

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.
Check if the control dial is set to ‘OFF’ (O).
Fully extend the power cord and plug it into a suitable 230V socket. To prevent 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 switch to half- power to maintain the temperature.

Both at the 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 offset 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 it 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.
