* Careful: the temperature measuring equipment is optimized to measure the room temperature while the product is functioning, is heating the air and is positioned on the floor. Depending on the product's positioning and on the presence of other objects/furniture:

- when the product is turned off, the display may show a slightly higher temperature. This is not a fault and the temperature sensor reading will soon correct itself.

- the display may show a higher temperature than the actual room temperature if the product is wall mounted, due to the overheated air present between the product and the wall;

- the display may show a lower temperature than the actual room temperature if the product is switched off or if the cold air function is in operation, due to the absence of a flow of hot air on the basis of which the system is optimized.

Laboratory tests confirm that the selected parameters ensure the utmost user comfort.

6.3 MEMBRANE SWITCHES

6.4 FUNCTIONING

MAIN SWITCH

The button bearing the symbol "0" controls both the product and the electronic circuit. If you switch the product off using this button, you will lose all the data previously set. TO SWITCH ON THE PRODUCT PRESS THE BUTTON AND WAIT APPROX. 3 SECONDS BEFORE THE DISPLAY STARTS UP.

When the product is connected to the power supply and switched on:

the display shows a flashing 00:00 and the time must be set by using the "h" and "m" buttons and the TIME button to confirm:
the desired temperature is set at a default value of 23°C:
the room temperature is registered by the product:
the green led on the "▽" button switches on (manual mode);
□ the display shows the "Off" status in the upper left hand corner.

" 🔊" MANUAL MODE

This button has to be used for entering the manual mode.
□ When pressed, the incorporated led switches on and the Ⓗ/ ⊗ led goes off.
By pressing the + - power button, it is possible to select the power. See the power selection section for further information.
In manual mode, the functioning of the heater depends on the "power" setting defined by the user and the temperature desired (^* - 1 + ⁶) (of course the heater only works if the desired temp is higher than the room temp!). The cold air function is INDEPENDENT of the thermostat setting.
☐ If the product is in operation, by pressing this button the heater switches off. The "Off" sign appears in the LCD.

“- ” +” TEMPERATURE SELECTORS

☐ Button for thermostat temperature adjustments. The temperature can be adjusted between 5°C and 30°C. By keeping the two buttons pressed, the value changes rapidly, for a greater ease of setting. The selected temperature appears on the LCD near the symbol "1".

"- 5 + " POWER SELECTORS

These two buttons have to be used to set the power of the heater (6 positions are possible):

Cold Air
Quiet Mode
Mid Power
1. Full Power
Full Power
Auto
To each setting corresponds a symbol, which is shown on the display.
AUTO MODE HAS BEEN SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED SO THAT THE POWER IS AUTOMATICALLY SELECTED ON THE BASIS OF THE CONDITIONS OF USE. WE SUGGEST ALWAYS USING AUTO MODE FOR BETTER PERFORMANCE AND CONSUMPTION OPTIMIZATION.

“😊” SMILE FUNCTION

☐ JUST PRESS THE BUTTON AND LET THE PRODUCT SET THE MOST COMFORTABLE AND EFFICIENT PARAMETERS.
☐ By pressing the SMILE button the power is automatically set to Auto mode and the desired temperature to 23°C.

"R" TIMER MODE

This button allows the user to set the internal timer:
☐ Two different programs are available for setting the starting time, duration and power and temperature conditions;
☐ If no other mode is selected, the set programs remain active, even on subsequent days.
☐ Pressing the Timer button activates the program mode as described in the relating paragraph:

While in operation, the relating led blinks.

"TIME" BUTTON - SETTING THE TIME AND THE PROGRAM

This button is used for setting the time or for programming the "timer" function.

☐ To set the time, it is sufficient to press the TIME button until the writing on the display starts flashing (this is not necessary if the writing is already flashing). Set the time and minutes using the relevant buttons and press TIME to enter the data;

In timer mode, the TIME button enters the selected value and allows you to pass on to the next value. Refer to the programming section of this manual for further information.

6.5 PROGRAMMING

☐ The timer function allows two distinct programs to be set. These will automatically be activated at the set time. All the parameters may be regulated, making the heater versatile and effective.

☐ If the product is not disconnected or tampered with by the user, the programs will be repeated for an indefinite period of time every day of the week.

☐ All programs need the time to be set, therefore they will not operate if the clock is flashing (see the TIME button description for further information).

In order to simplify the programming procedure, an initial preset program has been memorized with the following parameters:

Starting time: 06:30 Duration: 30 minutes Power setting: Auto mode Desired temperature: 23°C

NOTE: When changed, the new values will become the default values until the product is disconnected or switched off using the general switch. The preset program is automatically activated by pressing the timer button ONCE and waiting 5 seconds until the word "Set" disappears from the display.

IF THE PRESET PROGRAM DOESN'T FIT YOUR NEEDS, PROCEED AS INDICATED IN THE FOLLOWING DIAGRAM TO ACTIVATE YOUR CUSTOMIZED PROGRAM:

Default values will be taken as valid for any parameters that have not been customized. ☐ If you make a mistake while programming, exit by pressing the manual mode button and start again. ☐ If you have previously set a program and you don't want to run it any more, re-enter the programming mode and set the power to Off.

7. Safety in the event of the product not functioning normally

☐ In the event of overheating, the safety system will automatically turn off the heating elements and the motor. If this happens:

- switch off the fan heater using the main switch;

- remove the cause of overheating (i.e. obstacles in front of the air inlet or air outlet grilles, unusual accumulations of dirt, etc);

- let the heater cool down for 15/20 minutes;

- switch on the fan heater and check it is functioning properly.

In the event of overheating, the display will keep showing the symbol of the power that would have been in use in normal conditions. This is not a fault. Simply proceed as described above to solve the problem.

8. Maintenance

☐ This heater does not require any particular maintenance.

☐ We recommend you clean the air inlet and air outlet grilles at least twice a year with a vacuum cleaner, to remove dust from the motor and the heating elements.

☐ If the heater needs to be repaired, please contact an authorized center.

☐ If the cable is to be changed, please remember that a 2 × 1 m² H05VV-F cable must be used.

9. F.a.q.

Q: If I use the main switch will I maintain the set timer programs?

A: No. When you disconnect the product, electronic circuits are no longer supplied and memory is erased.

Q: Why does the indicated room temperature sometimes change after the product is switched on / off? R: Because the thermostat is very sensitive, to ensure better performance.

Q: Why does the display show *—* instead of the room temperature?

A: Because the temperature is higher than 39^irc C or lower than 5^irc C.

Q: Is the appliance working properly if the thermostat doesn't operate when the power mode is on "Cold air"?

A: Yes, it is. In heating appliances, the ventilation mode is not expected to be under the thermostat's control.

Q: The display shows the "err" message. What does it mean?

A: The temperature sensor is broken. Contact your dealer or a qualified technical assistance centre.

Q: In timer mode, the led blinks but the product doesn't works. Why?

A: Because you are inside the program period, but the desired temperature has already been reached. The product will turn on again if the room temperature falls below the value set.

Q: Why am I not able to activate the timer function after all the parameters have been set (the manual mode led turns on instead)?

A: Check that the power setting for the A and B programs are not both set to "Off".
