Description EUROM EK heaters are ‘real space’ heaters, with a powerful fan which disseminates a great deal of air. Cold air is sucked in at the back, heated, and then blown out as hot air. Because a relatively large quantity of air is sucked in and blown out, the air expelled by the heater does not feel particularly hot. As a great deal of air is heated and blown out, however, the entire space (not just the air around the heater!) is gradually warmed up. Control panel Control panel EK2000 The EK2000 control panel consists of two dials:

The mode selector dial with 4 positions is located on the left. From top to bottom: - O or off - 650W power - 1300W power - 2000W power The continuously adjustable thermostat dial is located on the right.35 Control panel EK3000 The EK3000 control panel consists of two dials:

The mode selector dial with 4 positions is located on the left. From top to bottom: - O or off - fan only - 1500W power - 300W power The continuously adjustable thermostat dial is located on the right. Location and Connection Remove all packaging material and keep out of reach of children. After removing packaging, check the appliance for damage or other signs that could indicate a fault/defect/malfunction. In case of doubt, do not use the appliance, but contact your vendor for inspection or replacement. Select a suitable location for the device taking into account all the aforementioned warnings in this manual. Make sure the heater is switched off (switch to O position), then plug into a correctly functioning 230V-50Hz socket. Only connect the heater to an earthed socket! Set-up and Operation If the heater is being used for the first time (or if you want to reset the desired temperature), turn the thermostat dial to the maximum position (clockwise as far as it goes). With the mode selector dial, adjust the heater to suit your preferences. Once the temperature in the area being heated has reached the right level, slowly turn the thermostat dial anticlockwise until you hear a soft click; leave the dial in that position. The heater will automatically maintain the temperature at this level. It does this by switching the heating elements off and on when the temperature rises or falls too much. Note! After the thermostat has switched the heating elements off, the fan will keep turning. This means that the air is constantly moved, allowing the heater to accurately detect if the area is cooling down. The thermostat dial is continuously adjustable. A higher temperature is set by turning it clockwise; a lower temperature by turning it anticlockwise.36 Safety features Overheating safeguard In case of internal overheating, the overheating safeguard will switch the heater off. If this occurs, immediately turn the mode selector dial to O, unplug and allow heater to cool down for at least 10 minutes. In theory, the heater can now be used as normal. There is, however, generally a reason for an appliance overheating. This may be because the heater cannot adequately release its heat or take in fresh air (because the heater is covered, the grills are blocked, the heater is placed too near a wall etcetera). Before using the heater again, therefore, remove or adjust whatever caused the appliance to overheat. If you cannot find the cause and overheating recurs, stop using the heater and contact your vendor or a certified electrician for inspection/repair. Overheating poses a serious fire risk!
