Frequently Asked Questions - NF20-16BA Cotech

How do I turn on the fan heater?

Plug the mains lead into a wall socket. Turn the thermostat knob to the maximum setting. Select a power setting using the function selector: Fan for cool air, Warm air (1200 W), or Hot air (2000 W).

Can I use this fan heater in a bathroom?

No, it is not intended for damp environments like bathrooms, laundry rooms, or near bathtubs or showers. Use only in dry indoor spaces.

What should I do if the fan heater does not start?

Check that the fan heater is on a level surface (tip-over switch may be triggered). Ensure the plug is securely connected and the socket is live. If overheating protection tripped, allow it to cool down and it will reset automatically.

How do I clean the fan heater?

Switch off, unplug, and let it cool. Clean the exterior with a lightly moistened cloth using mild detergent. Vacuum the back grille regularly to prevent dust buildup. Never use solvents or immerse in water.

Can I cover the fan heater with clothes to dry them?

No, never cover the fan heater. It can cause overheating, fire, or damage. The output air can be very hot (over 80°C). Keep at least 1 m away from flammable materials.

What is the difference between Warm air and Hot air settings?

Warm air operates at 1200 W, providing moderate heat. Hot air operates at 2000 W, providing maximum heat. Use the thermostat knob to regulate the temperature once desired warmth is reached.

How does the thermostat work?

Turn the thermostat knob to the maximum first. When the room reaches your desired temperature, slowly turn the knob back until it clicks and the heater switches off. The heater will then automatically cycle on/off to maintain that temperature.

Is the fan heater safe if it tips over?

Yes, it has a tip-over switch that automatically shuts off the heater if it is knocked over. Place it on a stable, level surface to prevent accidental tipping.

Can I use an extension cord with this fan heater?

No, do not use extension leads. Connect it directly to a wall socket to avoid overheating and fire risk.

What is the thermal fuse and what happens if it blows?

The thermal fuse is a non-resettable safety device that cuts off power if overheating occurs. If it blows, the fan heater cannot be reused and must be discarded responsibly.

Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall not plug in, regulate and clean the appliance or perform user maintenance.
• CAUTION — Some parts of this product can become very hot and cause burns. Particular attention has to be given where children and vulnerable people are present.
• The fan heater is intended for indoor use only.
• Never let children or pets touch the fan heater while it is in use. The output air can be very hot, over 80 °C (175 °F).
• Warning: Never cover the fan heater. If covered, there is a risk of overheating or even fire.
• The fan heater is only intended for normal domestic use and only in the manner described in this instruction manual.
• Never use the fan heater 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.
• Before connecting the fan heater to the mains, make sure that it is turned off and that your hands are completely dry.
• Do not use extension leads for this product. Connect it directly to a mains outlet.
• The fan heater should only be connected to a 220–240 V AC, 50 Hz electrical outlet.
• Never leave your home while the fan heater is switched on.

• The fan heater must be placed at least 1 m away from combustible materials such as furniture, cushions, bedding, paper, clothes and curtains.

• Never immerse the fan heater in water.
