• Remove the screw in the bottom of the base and unclip the base, pulling it out from the rear.
• Clip the fan heater onto the bracket, slanting it slightly (Fig. 3) and then fix it in place using a screwdriver, turning the screw in the top part of the mounting bracket clockwise.

ELECTRIC CONNECTION

• Before fitting the plug in the mains socket, make absolutely sure that the voltage of your mains electricity supply is the same as the value in V shown on the heater.
• Make sure the mains socket has a capacity of 10/16 Amperes.

OPERATION AND USE

Heating and setting the thermostat

• Turn the function selector knob to one of the 3 different heating positions available (Fig. 5).
• Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to its maximum position.
• On models fitted with electronic timer, slide the starter indicator (fig.5) to position "I"; the indicator lamp will come on.

When the room has reached the temperature desired, set the thermostat by slowly turning the thermostat knob counter-clockwise until you hear the click which switches off the heater and then stop turning the knob immediately.

The temperature set in this way will be automatically maintained at a constant level by the thermostat.

Anti-freeze function

• Turn the function selector knob to one of the 3 different heating positions available (Fig. 5).
• Turn the thermostat knob to the anti-freeze position (Fig. 5).
• On models fitted with electronic timer, slide the starter indicator (fig.5) to position "I"; the indicator lamp will come on.

When the fan heater has been set in this way it will automatically come on whenever the temperature in the room falls close to zero degrees and the room will thus remain at a temperature of a few degrees above zero.

Summer use

• Turn the function selector knob to the "fans only" position (Fig. 5).
• Turn the thermostat knob to the "summer use" position (Fig. 5).
• On models fitted with electronic timer, slide the starter indicator (fig.5) to position "I"; the indicator lamp will come on.

The fans only will be switched on when the fan heater has been set in this way.

Switching off the heater

Turn the function selector knob back to its "O" position (Fig. 5) to switch off the fan heater. On models with the electronic timer, you must also press the start pushbutton (Fig. 5) until moving the display line to the "O" position (Fig. 6).
