Operating Instructions
The heater is controlled by two rotary knobs located on the top of the unit. One knob controls the power/mode, and the other controls the thermostat.
- Power On/Mode Selection: Turn the left knob from 'OFF' to select your desired mode:
- FAN: Activates the fan only for air circulation without heat.
- LOW (750W): Provides low heat output.
- HIGH (1500W): Provides high heat output for rapid warming.
- Thermostat Control: Use the right knob to set the desired temperature. Turn it clockwise for higher temperatures and counter-clockwise for lower temperatures. The heater will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.
- Quick Heating: The PTC ceramic heating technology allows the unit to warm up in approximately 3 seconds.
- Power Off: Turn the left knob back to the 'OFF' position.
