3. Setup

Unpacking and Assembly:

2. Inspect the heater for any signs of damage. If damaged, do not use and contact customer service.
3. Most units come with castor wheels unattached. Turn the heater upside down. Attach the castor wheels to the axle rods provided, then secure them to the base of the heater using the wing nuts or clips. Ensure they are firmly attached.
4. Return the heater to an upright position.

Placement:

• Place the heater on a firm, level surface.
• Ensure there is at least 3 feet (0.9 meters) of clear space around the heater from walls, furniture, and other objects.
• Do not place the heater directly below a power outlet.
• Avoid placing the heater in areas where it could be easily knocked over.

4. Operating Instructions

Initial Use:

When operating the heater for the first time, or after a long period of storage, it is normal for the heater to emit a slight odor and smoke for a short period. This is due to the burning off of manufacturing residues and is not a cause for concern. Ensure the room is well-ventilated during initial use.

Power Connection:

• Ensure the heater is switched OFF (all controls set to minimum or OFF position).
• Plug the power cord into a suitable 230V AC, 50Hz wall outlet. Do not use adapters or extension cords.

Thermostat Control:

The thermostat regulates the room temperature. Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to increase the desired temperature setting, and counter-clockwise to decrease it. The heater will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.

Power Settings:

The heater typically has multiple power settings (e.g., Low, Medium, High) controlled by a separate power selector knob or integrated with the thermostat. Select the desired heat output based on your comfort needs.

Fan Operation:

To activate the integrated fan for faster heat distribution, turn the fan control knob to the ON position. The fan can be used independently or in conjunction with the heating elements.

24-Hour Timer Function:

The mechanical 24-hour timer allows you to program the heater to turn ON and OFF automatically. To set the timer:

1. Set Current Time: Rotate the outer ring of the timer dial clockwise until the current time aligns with the arrow indicator.
2. Program ON/OFF Periods: The timer dial has segments (usually 15-minute intervals). Push the segments inwards for the periods you want the heater to be ON, and leave them outwards for the periods you want it to be OFF.
3. Activate Timer: Ensure the main power switch for the heater is set to the timer position (if available) or simply leave the heater's power ON and the timer will control the operation. The heater's main power supply must remain connected for the timer to function correctly.

Note: If the main power supply to the heater is interrupted, the timer's current time setting will need to be reset.

5. Maintenance

Cleaning:

• Always unplug the heater from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Wipe the exterior surfaces of the heater with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Do not immerse the heater in water or allow water to drip into the interior.
• Regularly remove dust from the fins and air vents using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner attachment.

Storage:

• When not in use, store the heater in a cool, dry place.
• Use the cord winder facility to neatly store the power cord.
• It is recommended to store the heater in its original packaging to protect it from dust and damage.
