Frequently Asked Questions - 2317FL Flama

How to turn on the Flama 2317FL heater?

Make sure the thermostat knob is set to maximum, then plug in the device. Turn the Power & Mode knob to the desired position (I = low, II = high) to start heating. To turn it off, set the knob to 0 and unplug.

How to use only the fan without heating?

Turn the Power & Mode knob to the fan position (fan symbol). The thermostat must be set to maximum to avoid accidental shutdown.

How to set the desired temperature?

First heat the room with the thermostat at maximum. When the desired temperature is reached, slowly turn the thermostat knob counterclockwise until you hear a click, then slightly back the other way. The device will turn on and off to maintain that temperature.

Why does the heater turn off by itself?

This is normal if the set temperature is reached: the thermostat cuts off and then turns the heater back on to maintain the temperature. It may also be due to overheating; check that the device is not covered and the air intakes are not blocked.

What safety precautions should be observed?

Never cover the device (risk of overheating). Maintain a distance of at least 50 cm from walls and flammable objects, and 1 m from the air outlet. Do not use near water (bathtub, shower, pool). Keep out of reach of children under 3 years old.

How to clean the fan heater?

Always unplug the device before cleaning. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush to clean the grilles (to remove dust). Wipe the exterior with a damp (not wet) cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Never immerse the device in water and do not use solvents.

What to do if the device no longer works?

First check that the socket works and the cable is properly plugged. Check the thermostat setting. If the problem persists, the thermal protection may have triggered; let it cool down and try again. In case of failure, contact an approved service center.

Can I use an extension cord?

It is not recommended to use an extension cord. If necessary, ensure it is suitable for the device's power (minimum 1.5 kW) and completely unrolled to avoid overheating.

What is the warranty period and how to activate it?

The warranty is 36 months from the date of purchase. To activate it, keep the proof of purchase (invoice) and present it when requesting repair. The warranty does not cover damage due to incorrect use.

Where can I find the full manual?

The manual is available free of charge in PDF at www.flama.pt or on sites like notice-facile.com. You can also request a translation by email on the notice-facile website.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Caution: To avoid overheating, do not cover or conceal the appliance or the air inlets and outlets.

The fan heater can be operated by means of the manual controls located on the fan heater.

Remove the fan heater from the box and bag carefully.

Make sure that the Power & Mode button is in the off position (0) before plugging the appliance into the outlet.

The fan must be placed on a solid, flat surface.

Operation

Connect the power plug to an electrical outlet. Make sure the plug is securely attached to the outlet. If it is not well fitted, it may overheat and damage the outlet. The cable and plug assembly may become hot during use. This is a normal situation and it does not interfere with the proper functioning of the device.

Turn the thermostat regulator to the maximum setting.

Turn the Power & Mode button to the desired programmed temperature. The low temperature is represented by "I" and the high temperature by "II".

For fan operation only, without any heat production, turn the Power & Mode button to the fan setting.

THERMOSTAT INSTRUCTIONS

Note - Make sure the thermostat regulator is in the MAX (+) position before turning on the appliance.

Once the compartment reaches the desired temperature, slowly turn the thermostat regulator counterclockwise until you hear a slight sound.

Then turn the thermostat regulator clockwise until you hear a slight sound again. The appliance/thermostat switches on and off to ensure the desired temperature.

To turn off the appliance, turn the Power & Mode button to the off position (0). Then remove the plug from the outlet.

To adjust the thermostat button, turn the thermostat regulator clockwise to

increase the desired temperature. Turn counterclockwise to lower the temperature.

NOTE: It is normal for the appliance to turn on and off as it maintains a fixed temperature.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

If your fan turns off unexpectedly or stops working, this may be due to the activation of one of the aforementioned safety features to prevent overheating.

Make sure the power plug is connected to a working electrical outlet.

Check the thermostat settings. The fan heater may be turned off because it has reached the desired fixed temperature.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect the plug from the power outlet before carrying out any maintenance and cleaning operations.
