1. Unpack: Carefully remove the heater from its packaging. Retain packaging for storage or future transport.
2. Placement: Place the heater on a stable, flat, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is at least 1 meter (3 feet) of clear space around the heater to allow for proper airflow and to prevent fire hazards. Do not place it near curtains, furniture, or other flammable materials.
3. Power Connection: Ensure the heater is switched to the 'OFF' position. Plug the electric cord directly into a standard 220-240V AC electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or power strips, as they may overheat.

   Locate the left control knob. Rotate it to select:
   
   • OFF: Turns the heater off.
   • FAN: Activates the fan without heat, circulating ambient air.
   • LOW HEAT (750W): Provides a lower heat output.
   • HIGH HEAT (1500W): Provides maximum heat output.
2. Thermostat Control:
   Locate the right control knob. This knob adjusts the desired room temperature.
   
   • Rotate clockwise to increase the desired temperature.

4. Power Indicator Light: A light on the front of the unit will illuminate when the heater is powered on and operating.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your heater.

• Cleaning: Before cleaning, always unplug the heater and allow it to cool completely. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the heater's finish. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to gently remove dust from the air inlets and outlets.
• Storage: When not in use, store the heater in a cool, dry place. If possible, use the original packaging to protect it from dust and damage.
• No User-Serviceable Parts: Do not attempt to open or repair the heater yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Milex MSH001 PTC Fan Heater, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Heater does not turn on:
  
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Check if the power outlet is functional by plugging in another appliance.
  • Verify that the heater is placed upright on a stable surface; the tip-over switch may have been activated.
  • Ensure the power/mode knob is set to a heat setting (750W or 1500W), not 'OFF' or 'FAN'.
• Heater turns off unexpectedly:
  
  • The overheat protection may have been activated. Unplug the heater, allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes, and ensure air inlets/outlets are not blocked before restarting.
  • The tip-over protection may have been activated. Ensure the heater is on a flat, stable surface.
  • The thermostat may have reached the set temperature. Adjust the thermostat knob to a higher setting if more heat is desired.
• No heat, only fan operates:
  
  • Ensure the power/mode knob is set to either '750W' or '1500W', not 'FAN'.
  • Adjust the thermostat knob to a higher setting.
