Aktobis AG WDH-BGP03 3 kW Fan Heater
Dear Customer,
You have chosen a high-quality product. To ensure that you get a lot of
enjoyment from this product, here are a few more tips:
Information relevant to energy consumption:
This product is only suitable for well-insulated rooms or for occasional use.
In case of any problems:
We hope that the unit meets your expectations! If, despite the greatest
possible care, there should ever be cause for complaint, please contact us
briefly, as we are very concerned about your satisfaction and would like to
clear up any misunderstanding.
During the first operation:
As the heating elements are covered with a light film of oil at the factory
for reasons of protection, you will notice a slight smell of burning and
possibly also some smoke during the first operation. This is quite normal at
first and is caused by the fact that the oil film is now burnt by the heating
elements during operation.

Instructions for use
Commissioning
-
Insert the mains plug properly into the socket
-
Select the desired unit power with the operating power adjustment knob (left-hand knob).
-
= Off
-
= Fan operation (cold blower)
-
= Level 1 (medium operating strength with 1,500 W heating power)
-
= Level 2 (highest operating strength with 3,000 W heating power)
Now set the desired temperature switch-off point (0 ~ 45°C) with the stepless thermostat control dial (right-hand knob). This is best done as follows: Turn the thermostat knob to the highest temperature (MAX.) and let the heater run until your desired temperature value is reached. Now turn (adjust) the control downwards towards the minimum until the heating function switches off automatically. Now let the control dial (thermostat) on this position and whenever it gets colder in the room, the unit automatically starts heating and when the adjusted temperature is then reached again, the unit automatically switches off again !!!
Switch off
To switch off the unit, turn the stepless thermostat control knob (right-hand knob) to a minimum (MIN) and let the unit run in fan mode for about 5 minutes to allow it to cool down. Afterward, also turn the operating strength adjustment knob to “0” to switch off the unit completely.
Cleaning & Storage
Always unplug the heater from the mains and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning it!
Cleaning the housing:
- Use a soft and damp cloth to clean the outside of the housing.
- Only use mild cleaning agents to clean your heater.
- Also, make sure that no aggressive cleaning agents are used, as these can damage your appliance!
- Please make sure that no water gets inside your heater at any time !
Storage:
- We recommend that you repack the unit in its original box for storage.
- Store the heater in a dry and sufficiently ventilated place/space.
Other operating instructions
- Do not disconnect the mains plug by pulling on the power cable!
- Do not use insect repellent, oil spray, paint spray, etc. near the heater. This may cause damage to the unit or even fire!

Troubleshooting
The heater only provides a “lukewarm” output
The outlet temperature depends on the inlet temperature. As a rule, this is
approx. 20-30°C above the inlet temperature and the room is heated by the fact
that the room air is constantly circulated, as with a normal radiator, and the
associated repeated heating (heating progression). If you use the electric
heater in a very cold room, e.g. in a garage with 5°C or even colder, it would
be normal if the outlet temperature is only “lukewarm”, because the electric
heater cannot heat this air to “hot” in the short time in which the air passes
the heating rods. This would only be achievable with a switched-off fan, but
the air would then firstly not be distributed evenly in the room and secondly,
the unit would lose a lot of its overall heating effectiveness.
