Operation

Plug the heater into the power socket located in the cabin of the vehicle. The outlet socket inside the car should be connected to the power inlet socket on the outside of the vehicle via a permanently installed cable. The cable must be rubber-coated with a core area of at least 1.5 mm ^2 (H05RN-F) and encased in a flexible metal armour sheath. The car heater can be placed on the floor and be pointed upwards using the adjustable stand. The heater can also be mounted under the glove compartment or centre console using the supplied bracket.

Overheating protection

The car heater has a built-in thermal over-temperature protection device. If the over-temperature protection is triggered, the car heater is automatically shut off.

Once the heater has cooled, it will work again as normal.

The over-temperature protection device is reset by unplugging the heater from the power socket. Wait for 5 to 10 minutes for the heater to cool before plugging it in and using it again.

As an extra safety measure the heater is also fitted with a thermal fuse safety cut-off. This thermal fuse cannot be reset, so if it has blown the car heater cannot be reused and should be discarded.

Placement

The car heater can be placed on the floor, attached to the passenger side of the centre console or hung under the glove compartment.

NOTE! The nearest object (e.g. seat) in front of the safety grille must be no closer than 30 cm. There must always be 10 cm of space above the heater; otherwise there is a risk of it overheating.

If the heater is placed on the floor, the adjustable stand should be used to direct the flow of air upwards. When attaching the heater to the centre console, the supplied bracket should be used. The car heater must never be positioned so that it blows air downwards or directly towards the seat.

Attach the bracket using the supplied screws. Push the car heater into the bracket and make sure that it is secure before turning it on.
