Frequently Asked Questions - 6618 CALOR

What to do if the appliance does not heat?

First, check the connection and that the control button is not in the off position (①). Make sure the thermostat is set to a sufficiently high position. If the appliance stopped automatically, clean the air intake and outlet grilles, then wait 15 minutes before restarting.

Can I use an extension cord with this appliance?

Yes, but the extension cord must not exceed 25 meters in length and the cross-section of each conductor must be at least 1.5 mm². The cord and extension cord must be fully unrolled.

Where should I place the appliance for safe use?

Place the appliance at least 1 meter away from furniture and walls. Never place it under a wall socket, behind a curtain, or near flammable objects. Avoid humid rooms like the bathroom.

How to set the desired temperature?

Turn the thermostat knob gradually towards number 9 to increase the temperature, or towards number 1 to decrease it. The appliance automatically stops at the chosen temperature and restarts if needed to maintain it.

What does the frost protection mode mean?

The frost protection position (®) automatically maintains the temperature above 0°C in a normally insulated room, to protect against frost. Use this position if you leave the room unoccupied.

How to clean the appliance?

Unplug the appliance and wait for it to cool. Regularly dust the air intake and outlet grilles with a dry cloth or vacuum. For stains, use a very slightly damp cloth (no alcohol or solvent). Never allow water to enter the inside.

The appliance has tipped over, what should I do?

Straighten the appliance and place it on a flat floor. The anti-tip safety has cut the power; once straightened, the appliance will restart normally.

Can I use the appliance in a bathroom?

No, this appliance is not designed for use in a bathroom or any room with water splashes. It is intended only for dry rooms.

What to do if an odor or smoke is emitted during first use?

It is normal for new appliances. The odor and smoke disappear after a few minutes of operation. Ensure the room is well ventilated.

How to know if the thermal safety has tripped?

The appliance stops abruptly. To restart, set the control button to off (①), unplug, clean the grilles, let it cool for 15 minutes, then plug in and restart. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service center.

To enable your appliance to function correctly, the following recommendations must be respected.

• Never place it behind a curtain. The air inlet and outlet grills must always remain clear. The air flow must never be hindered, as this could cause overheating.
• Never handle it with wet hands.
• Before turning on the appliance, always check its general condition, together with that of the power lead and the socket.
• If you have to use an extension lead, it must not be longer than 25m and the section of each conductor wire must not be less than 1.5mm^2 . The power lead and extension lead must be completely unwound.
• Never place the appliance beneath a electrical wall socket.
• Never use the appliance near inflammable objects, in a room containing explosive gases or while using glue and solvents.

2 OTHER MODELS:

Choose the appropriate power setting

The power needed to heat a room mainly depends on:

• the volume of the room

• the insulation of the floor, the walls, the windows and the ceiling.

In practice, you need 90 W per m² (with a ceiling height of 2.5 m and standard insulation conditions).

Caution! Every room is different. For example, good insulation can reduce electrical heating consumption by up to 70% . However, with poor insulation, you may require 160 W per m².

Using the control dial, choose the most appropriate power setting for the room you wish to heat.

To reach the required temperature quickly, select the fan (models 6670/6672) or full power position.
