• Operate the fan heater by turning the function switch to one of the three positions:
Fan only (thermostat set to maximum)
I Heating at half power (900 W)
II Heating at full power (1800 W)
Thermostat
The most economical way of using the heater is to heat the room up at full power (max.) and then
to switch to half power to maintain the temperature.
The fan operates at the same speed for both half and full power, and the only difference is the
number of heating elements used.
Once the desired temperature is reached, turn the thermostat knob slowly down until you hear a
click. The temperature is now set.
The ceramic fan heater will switch itself automatically on and off to maintain the set temperature.
To set a higher or lower temperature, simply turn the thermostat knob (5) clockwise or
anticlockwise respectively.
Safety features
The ceramic fan heater features tip protection that switches the appliance off if it should fall over
unexpectedly. When you stand it up again, it resumes operation.
But to do this, first switch the appliance off, remove the plug from the socket and check the
ceramic fan heater for any damage. Do not use the appliance if it is damaged or does not function
correctly. Take it for inspection and if necessary for repair.
Overheating protection causes the ceramic fan heater to cut out if it becomes too hot.
This can occur if the heater cannot fully expel all its heat or if too little fresh air is available for it to
draw in. The usual cause of this is that something is covering or partly covering the heater or that
the air inlet or outlet grille is blocked or clogged; other causes are the presence of dirt or a
positioning of the unit too close e.g. to a wall.
If the overheating protection of the heater cuts out, set the controller to OFF, then unplug from the
power socket and allow the unit to cool down. You should remove the cause of the overheating
before operating the ceramic fan heater again.
If you cannot identify the cause of the overheating and the problem persists, stop using the heater
and take it for inspection and possible repair.
Cleaning and maintenance
Keep the ceramic fan heater clean. The build-up of dust and dirt in the appliance is one of the
commonest causes of overheating. You should therefore remove such dirt regularly. Before
cleaning or performing maintenance, switch the ceramic fan heater off, remove the plug from the
socket and allow to cool.
• Clean the outside of the heater regularly with a dry or very slightly moistened cloth. Do not use
any abrasive soap, spray, detergents or scouring agents, wax, glazing agents or other chemical
solutions.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to carefully remove dirt and dust from the grilles and check that the air
inlets and outlets are clean. When cleaning these, take care not to touch or damage any internal
parts.
• The ceramic fan heater does not contain any other components that require maintenance.
• When the heating season ends, carefully pack the ceramic fan heater away, where possible in its
original packaging. Store it upright in a cool, dry and dusty-free place.
• When the appliance reaches the end of its useful life, do not dispose of it in the domestic waste.
Take it instead to a local collection point for electrical equipment. Care will then be taken to
recycle any re-usable materials.
