Setup and Installation

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the heater from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
2. Placement: Position the heater on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is at least 3 feet (0.9 meters) of clearance from any combustible materials (e.g., furniture, curtains, walls). Do not block air intake or exhaust openings.

1. Power On: Plug the heater into the appropriate 240V electrical outlet. Turn the main power switch (typically an orange rocker switch) to the "ON" position.
2. Set Heat Output (if applicable): Some models may have a switch or setting to select between 7kW and 10kW output. Ensure this is set according to your electrical circuit capacity.
3. Adjust Thermostat: Rotate the thermostat control dial clockwise to increase the desired temperature. The heater will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.
4. Power Off: To turn off the heater, rotate the thermostat dial to its lowest setting, then turn the main power switch to the "OFF" position. Unplug the heater from the outlet when not in use for extended periods.

Note: The fan may continue to run for a short period after the heating elements turn off to dissipate residual heat, which is a normal function.
