Frequently Asked Questions - OAPE1800B Omega Altise

How do I clean the filter on my Omega Altise OAPE1800B heater?

Unplug the heater. Locate the filter cover on the back or side, remove it, and take out the filter. Wash the filter with warm soapy water, rinse, and let it dry completely before reinstalling. Clean the filter every month for optimal performance.

What does the tip-over switch do?

The tip-over switch is a safety feature that automatically turns off the heater if it is accidentally knocked over. This prevents fire hazards and ensures safe operation.

Can I use the heater in a bathroom?

No, this heater is not designed for bathroom use unless it is specifically rated as splash-proof. It should be kept away from water and moisture.

How do I adjust the thermostat?

Turn the thermostat dial clockwise to increase the desired temperature. The heater will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature. Turn it anti-clockwise to decrease.

Why does the heater turn off and on by itself?

This is normal. The thermostat controls the temperature: when the room reaches the set temperature, the heater turns off; when it drops, it turns back on. If it cycles too frequently, adjust the thermostat.

What is the maximum room size for this heater?

The Omega Altise OAPE1800B is suitable for rooms up to approximately 20-25 square meters (215-270 square feet) with good insulation. For larger rooms, additional heating may be needed.

Can I leave the heater unattended?

It is not recommended to leave the heater unattended for long periods. Always unplug when not in use and never leave it on while sleeping.

How do I reset the overheat protection?

If the heater overheats, it will automatically shut off. Unplug it, allow it to cool down for at least 10 minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on. The heater should resume normal operation.

Why does the fan keep running after I turn off the heat?

The fan may continue to run for a few seconds to cool down internal components. This is normal and helps prolong the life of the heater.

Can I use an extension cord with this heater?

It is not recommended. Plug the heater directly into a wall outlet. If you must use an extension cord, ensure it is rated for at least 15 amps and is fully uncoiled.

HINTS & TIPS

Where possible, your electric panel convection heater should be connected to a power outlet that uses a separate 10 amp power circuit than other items. This will avoid overloading your household fuse.

In the event that your household fuse is overloaded and trips, please note this is normally caused by the use of excessive power outlets at the same time your heater is operating (for example, a steam iron, kettle, toaster etc.). Please ensure to check the use of the power circuit and adjust when heater is in use (i.e. turn off the heater when boiling a kettle).

If your heater does not work:

• Check that power is available to the heater & it is plugged in & turned on.
• Check that the heater temperatures are set correctly for the ambient temperature.
• Check that the thermal cut-out has not activated (see safety features).
• Do not try to repair the heater.
