rotate the thermostat fully counterclockwise until it stops.
I / II / III: Selectable heating settings. For details, see “Specifications”.
The thermostat (3) can be used to set the ambient temperature of the room. In
modes, I, II, and III the appliance will switch on when the ambient air
temperature falls below the value set. As soon as the set temperature is
reached, the unit will turn off.
If you would like to set a higher temperature, turn the thermostat clockwise,
if you want to set it lower, then turn it counterclockwise.
The operation indicator light will illuminate in settings 0, I, II, and III if
the thermostat is on. If the thermostat switches the appliance off, the
indicator light will turn off.
If the thermostat is turned clockwise and you hear a click but the operation
indicator light does not illuminate, the overheating protection has probably
activated. Set the mode selector to the “0” position then power off the unit
by unplugging it from the electric outlet. Allow the appliance to cool (for at
least 30 minutes). Confirm that the airflow is unobstructed. If necessary,
clean the appliance. Switch on the unit again. If the overheating protection
