Frequently Asked Questions - 2003 CT FAKIR

How do I set the desired room temperature?

Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the maximum position when switching on. Once the room reaches the desired temperature, slowly turn it back anticlockwise until you hear a click. The heater will then automatically maintain that temperature.

What should I do if the heater suddenly stops working?

It may have activated the overheat safety function. Unplug the appliance, let it cool down for about 15 minutes, then plug it back in and try again. If the issue persists, contact an authorized service point.

Can I use this heater in a bathroom?

No, the manual explicitly forbids use in damp rooms such as bathrooms, showers, or near swimming pools due to risk of electric shock. Use only in dry indoor areas.

How do I set the frost guard function?

Rotate the thermostat knob so that the mark on the knob aligns with the frost guard symbol (an asterisk *). This will maintain the room temperature above freezing (0°C) to prevent frost damage.

What are the power output settings?

The heater has three power settings: 750 W (switch 3 only), 1250 W (switch 2 only), and 2000 W (both switches 2 and 3 pressed). The fan can be turned on/off independently via switch 4.

How should I clean the heater?

Always unplug and let the heater cool down before cleaning. Wipe the housing with a slightly damp cloth. Never use abrasive cleaners, chemicals like alcohol or benzine, and never immerse the appliance in water.

The heater does not turn on. What could be the problem?

Check if the plug is fully inserted, the power switch is on, and the socket is working. If the power cord is damaged, unplug immediately and contact service. Also ensure the thermostat is not set too low.

What is the minimum distance from furniture or curtains?

Maintain a minimum clearance of 50 cm above, 15 cm to the sides, and 10 cm below. Keep at least 50 cm from the front and rear. This ensures proper air circulation and prevents fire risk.

Can I use an extension cord?

Yes, but only use extension cords rated for the power input (2000 W). Ensure the cord is fully unwound and not bent or damaged.

What is the warranty period and what does it cover?

For private use, Fakir offers a 48-month warranty covering material and assembly errors. The motor has a 5-year warranty. Normal wear parts (e.g., filters) are excluded. Repairs must be done by authorized service centers using original spare parts.
