Frequently Asked Questions - VAL-FHB VALBERG

What is the purpose of the VALBERG VAL-FHB?

The VAL-FHB is a mobile fan heater designed for the bathroom. It quickly diffuses warm air to heat the room in a few minutes. It can also be used in other small rooms of the house.

What is the power of the VALBERG VAL-FHB?

The device has 2 power levels with a maximum power of 2,000 W. You choose the level suitable for your needs according to the size of the room and your desired comfort.

Can this heater be used in a bathroom?

Yes, the VAL-FHB is certified IP21, allowing its use in humid rooms like the bathroom. It is class II (double insulation) for enhanced electrical safety. Respect the regulatory distances from the shower tray and bathtub.

What exactly does the IP21 rating mean?

The IP21 ensures protection against the vertical fall of water droplets. The device withstands humid environments but should never be exposed to direct water splashes. Do not place it within the splash zone of the shower.

How to set the temperature with the thermostat?

The thermostat is mechanical: turn the knob to a higher value to increase the set temperature. The device turns off automatically once the temperature is reached and turns back on when the room cools down.

My heater stops abruptly, is that normal?

If the thermostat has reached the set temperature, the stop is perfectly normal. If it stops after a few minutes of intense operation, the overheat protection device has likely triggered. Turn off the device, let it cool for 15 minutes, then restart it. Check that the grills are not obstructed.

What to do if the heater blows air but no longer heats?

Check that the power selector is not in low or "cold ventilation" position. Ensure that the air intake and outlet grills are clear. If the problem persists after a complete stop and cooling cycle, contact Electro Depot's after-sales service.

Can the VAL-FHB be left on all night?

It is strongly discouraged to leave any fan heater unattended for an extended period. Use it occasionally to heat the room. Never leave it near curtains, textiles, or any other flammable material.

How to clean and maintain this device?

Always unplug the device before cleaning it. Vacuum or wipe the grills with a dry cloth to avoid dust accumulation, which reduces performance and can cause overheating. Never use liquid directly on the device.

Where to find spare parts for the VAL-FHB?

The VAL-FHB is an Electro Depot own brand. For any spare part or repair, contact Electro Depot's customer service. You can also consult specialized sites like Spareka.fr or Fixpart.fr by indicating the VAL-FHB reference.

Is the device compliant with European standards?

Yes, the VALBERG VAL-FHB complies with European directives 2014/35/EU (low voltage) and 2014/30/EU (electromagnetic compatibility). It bears the CE marking.

• We recommend contacting a qualified electrician for any assistance.
• Correctly connect the unit and do not leave it within the reach of unsupervised children.

Use

• Before using this unit, make sure that it has been placed on a flat, stable surface. This unit is equipped with a tip-over switch that shuts off the unit in the event it is tipped over or placed on an unstable surface.
• Check that the unit's voltage corresponds to the mains voltage (230 V wall socket). Once the unit is plugged in, turn the thermostat knob and the indicator light will come on.
• Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to “-”, then turn the knob from “0” to “ 念 ” to activate the fan. Check that everything is working correctly.
