SETUP

Before switching on for the first time, carefully remove the packaging material taking care not to damage the appliance and power cable. Do not use the product if it is damaged in any way.
The unit may only be used indoors in dry conditions.
Set the appliance on a stable and horizontal surface.
The free flow of warm air must be ensured for proper operation, therefore, please note the minimum installation distances indicated in Figure 2.
Verify that the unit’s mode selector (3) is in the OFF “0” position.
Plug the unit’s standard grounded AC power cable into a grounded wall outlet. This completes the setup of the appliance.

OPERATION

The appliance’s mode selector (3) can be used to select from among the following operating modes:
0 – fan and heating elements off
“cold air” with only the fan operating
I – “warm air” with the fan and one heating element operating
II – “hot air” with the fan and both heating elements operating
When using the „cold air” ( ) function, the thermostat (4) should be set to its maximum setting.
The thermostat (4) can be used to set the ambient temperature of the room. In modes I and II, the appliance will switch on when the ambient air temperature falls below the value set. As the set temperature is reached, the fan and heating elements 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 if the appliance ( ) is operating in mode I or II. If the thermostat switches the appliance off, the indicator light will turn off.
If you notice that the operation indicator light is on in mode I or II and the fan is on but the appliance is not heating, the overheating protection has probably activated. Set the thermostat to its maximum setting, and if the heating fails to activate, the safety cutoff has been 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).
Check whether the air inlets and outlets are obstructed or not, and clean them if necessary.
Switch on the unit again.
If the overheating protection activates again, power off the unit by unplugging it from the electric outlet and contact the service facility.
The oscillation (6) can be switched on or off irrespective of whether the appliance ( ) is in mode I or II.
After being switched, the appliance will move and heat the air in a wider angle by oscillating within a 90° angle. The oscillation must be switched off separately.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

In order to ensure optimum functioning, the unit may require cleaning at least once a month, depending on the manner of use and degree of contamination.

Switch off and power off the unit by unplugging it from the electric outlet prior to cleaning.
Allow the appliance to cool (for at least 30 minutes).
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the air inlet (1) and outlet (2) openings.
