Operating Instructions
Familiarize yourself with the controls before operating the heater.
A. Power Settings
The heater offers three power settings to suit your heating needs:
- 750W: Low heat setting for smaller spaces or maintaining warmth.
- 1250W: Medium heat setting for general use.
- 2000W: High heat setting for rapid heating of larger spaces (up to 20m²).
Select the desired power level using the power selector switch, typically located on the side or front panel.
B. Thermostat Control
The adjustable thermostat allows you to set your desired room temperature. The heater will cycle on and off to maintain this temperature.
- Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to increase the desired temperature.
- Turn the thermostat knob counter-clockwise to decrease the desired temperature.
- For continuous heating, set the thermostat to its maximum setting.
C. Timer Function
The integrated timer allows you to program the heater to turn on or off at specific times, adapting to your schedule.
- Refer to the specific timer instructions on the heater's control panel for detailed programming steps.
- Typically, you will set the current time and then program the desired ON/OFF periods using the timer segments or buttons.
D. Anti-Freeze Function
This function is designed to prevent the room temperature from dropping below freezing (approximately 5°C / 41°F). When activated, the heater will automatically turn on if the room temperature falls below this threshold, providing protection against frost.
- To activate, set the thermostat to the snowflake or minimum setting.
E. Turbo Function
The turbo function enhances heat distribution by directing warm air forward, allowing for quicker and more direct heating of the immediate area.
- Activate the turbo function using the dedicated switch or button on the control panel.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and efficient operation of your heater.
- Before Cleaning: Always unplug the heater from the power outlet and allow it to cool down completely before cleaning.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the finish.
- Dust Removal: Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust from the air intake and outlet grilles. This helps maintain optimal airflow and prevents overheating.
- Storage: If storing the heater for an extended period, clean it thoroughly, then store it in its original packaging or a dry, dust-free location.
- No Internal Servicing: There are no user-serviceable parts inside the heater. Do not attempt to open or repair the unit yourself.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your heater, consult the following table before contacting support.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Heater does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet not working; power switch off; thermostat set too low; overheating protection activated. | Ensure plug is fully inserted; test outlet with another appliance; turn power switch ON; increase thermostat setting; unplug and let cool for 30 minutes. |
