- Fan Mode: Operates as a fan without heating.
Oscillation Function
The 70° wide oscillation feature helps distribute heat evenly across the room.
- Press the Oscillation button (↻) on the control panel or remote to activate or deactivate the oscillation.
Timer Function
Set the heater to automatically turn off after a specified period, up to 12 hours.
- Press the Timer button (⏱) to set the desired operating duration. Each press typically increases the time by one hour.
Child Lock
To prevent accidental changes to settings, activate the child lock.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance ensures efficient operation and extends the life of your heater.
- Before Cleaning: Always turn off the heater and unplug it from the power outlet. Allow it to cool down completely before cleaning.
- Exterior Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces of the heater. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the surface.
- Dust Removal: Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust from the air intake and exhaust grilles.
- Storage: If storing the heater for an extended period, clean it thoroughly and store it in its original packaging or a dust-free environment.
- Do Not Disassemble: Do not attempt to disassemble the heater for cleaning or repair. This will void the warranty and could lead to safety hazards.
