Frequently Asked Questions - PTC924-L Clas Ohlson

What are the power settings on the PTC924-L fan heater?

The fan heater has two heat settings: 750 W (low) and 1500 W (high), plus a fan-only mode without heat.

How do I activate the oscillation function?

Set the [1/0] switch on the rear of the fan heater to I to turn oscillation on, and to 0 to turn it off.

How should I clean the fan heater?

First, unplug the heater and let it cool. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to clean the air inlet and outlet.

Why doesn't the fan heater start?

Ensure the heater is upright on a level surface (tip-over switch), the power switch is on, the thermostat is set high enough, the mains lead is intact and plugged in, and the overheating protection hasn't tripped. If tripped, reset by unplugging and letting it cool.

Why does the fan heater stop after a short time?

The thermostat might be set to a lower temperature than the current room temperature. Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to increase the set temperature.

Can I leave the fan heater unattended?

No, never leave the fan heater unattended while in use. It can become very hot and pose a fire or burn hazard.

Where should I place the fan heater?

Place it on a flat, stable surface upright. Keep 50 cm clearance from flammable materials on sides, top, and back, and 120 cm clearance in front. Never place directly beneath a wall socket.

Can I use an extension cord?

No, the fan heater must be plugged directly into an earthed 230 V, 50 Hz power outlet. Using an extension cord is not recommended.

How do I reset the overheating protection?

Turn the mode selector to 0, unplug the heater, let it cool for 5–10 minutes, then plug it back in. The heater should resume normal operation.

What is the tip-over switch?

It is a safety device that automatically switches off the heater if it falls over or is not vertical. It will resume operation once returned to an upright position on a level surface.

• Cleaning and user maintenance must not be performed by children without adult supervision.

Particular requirements for room heaters

Warning: Never cover the product. If covered, there is a risk of overheating or even fire.

Warning

• The product can become very hot during use and cause burns. Burn hazard. Special care must be taken if the product is used in the same room as young children, aged or infirm persons.
• The product must never be placed directly beneath a wall socket.
• Never use the product in the immediate vicinity of bathtubs, showers or swimming pools.
• The product must be kept out of reach of children under 3 years of age unless they are under constant supervision.
• Children between the ages of 3 and 8 years must only switch the product on/off provided that it has been placed or installed in its intended normal operating position and they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the product in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Safety instructions

Warning: Dangerous voltage.

• The fan heater should not be used if it is in any way damaged or malfunctioning. Do not use the fan heater if the mains lead or plug is damaged in any way.
• The mains lead must be changed if damaged. This is to prevent the risk of electric shock or fire and should only be carried out by the manufacturer, qualified service facility or qualified technician.
• The fan heater should not be taken apart or modified. The casing houses non-insulated components. Contact with these can lead to fire or electric shock.
• Never lower the fan heater into water or other liquids.
• Never touch the control panel or plug with wet hands.
• Never use the fan heater in the rain or in wet conditions.

Warning

• Do not place towels or similar objects on the fan heater.
• Ensure that the fan heater is kept clean. Make sure that no foreign objects can enter the ventilation openings as this can present a risk of electric shock or fire.
• The fan heater must never be used near flammable gases or liquids.
• The fan heater is only intended for normal domestic use and only in the manner described in this instruction manual. Using the fan heater for other than its intended use may lead to fire, electric shock, other types of personal injuries or material damage.
• Children in the area where the fan heater is used must be kept under supervision.
• The fan heater is intended for indoor use only.
• Make sure to route the mains lead behind the fan heater so that it is not heated by the hot air from the fan heater.
• The fan heater must only be plugged into to an earthed 230 V, 50 Hz power outlet. Never connect the fan heater to the electricity mains using an extension lead.

Important

• Always unplug the fan heater from the wall socket when it is not in use.
- Disconnect the fan heater from the power supply by unplugging it from the wall socket. Make sure that the wall socket and plug are easily accessible.
- The fan heater must not be connected to the mains during installation or service.
- The fan heater must only be used in the upright position.

Instructions for use

Note

• Bear in mind that factors such as the size of the room, the outside temperature and how well the building is insulated, all affect the ability of the heater to warm the room up. If the room is too large the ability of the heater to warm it up to the desired temperature may be insufficient.

• The fan heater must be standing upright on a level surface to ensure that the tip-over switch doesn't trip.

• Place the fan heater on a flat and stable surface.

• Plug the fan heater into a wall socket.

Fan only mode

1. Turn the thermostat knob (1) to the maximum setting.
2. Turn the mode selector (3) to switch the fan on, the indicator light (2) will come on.
3. Turn the mode selector to 0 to switch the fan off, the indicator light will go out.

Fan with heating

1. Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the maximum setting.
2. Turn the mode selector to I (750 W) or II (1500 W) to switch the fan heater on, the indicator light will come on.
3. When the desired ambient temperature has been reached, slowly turn the thermostat knob back until it clicks and the fan heater switches off. Leave the thermostat knob in that position.
4. The fan heater will maintain the set temperature by automatically switching on and off.
5. The temperature can be adjusted by turning the thermostat knob:
6. clockwise to raise the temperature

7. anticlockwise to lower the temperature.

8. Turn the mode selector to 0 to switch the fan heater off, the indicator light will go out.

Oscillation function
