4. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the heater from its packaging. Retain the packaging for storage or future transport.
2. Placement: Place the heater on a firm, level 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 directly under a power outlet.
3. Power Connection: Ensure the heater is switched off (Mode Selector Dial set to 'O'). Plug the power cord into a standard 220-240V, 50Hz electrical outlet. Do not use extension cords or power strips with this appliance.

5. Operating Instructions

1. Power On: With the heater plugged in, turn the Mode Selector Dial to your desired setting:
   • 'O' (Off): Heater is off.
   • Fan Only: Activates the fan for cool air circulation.
   • 'I' (1000W Heat): Provides low heat output.
   • 'II' (2000W Heat): Provides high heat output.
2. Set Thermostat: Turn the Thermostat Control Dial clockwise to the maximum setting. Once the room reaches your desired temperature, slowly turn the Thermostat Control Dial counter-clockwise until the heater switches off. The heater will now maintain this temperature by cycling on and off automatically.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your heater.

• Cleaning: Always unplug the heater and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Do not immerse the heater in water.
• Storage: When not in use, store the heater in a cool, dry place. It is recommended to store it in its original packaging to protect it from dust and damage.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your 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 Mode Selector Dial is set to a heating or fan position (not 'O').
  • Verify that the thermostat is set to a higher temperature than the current room temperature.
  • Check if the tip-over safety switch has been activated (ensure the heater is on a flat surface).
  • If the overheat protection was activated, unplug the unit, wait 30 minutes, and then plug it back in.
• Heater produces cold air only (when set to heat):
  • Ensure the Mode Selector Dial is set to 'I' (1000W) or 'II' (2000W), not just the fan symbol.
  • Increase the thermostat setting.
• Heater turns off unexpectedly:
  • The overheat protection may have been activated. Unplug, wait, and check for obstructions.
  • The tip-over safety switch may have been triggered. Ensure the heater is stable.
  • The thermostat may have reached the set temperature. This is normal operation.

If problems persist after checking these points, contact customer support.
