- Fit the feet (6.) to the convection heater's bottom using 2 screws on each foot.

Handling and operation NOTE

- All functions can be used with the convection heater's buttons as well as with the remote control (25.).

This section provides you with important information on handling and using the appliance.

Switch the appliance On and Off

The main switch (8.) disconnects the appliance fully from the mains power supply.

- Insert the power plug into a mains wall socket.

- Switch on the appliance using the main switch (8.) first; alternatively, switch it off at the main switch if you are no longer using it.

- When switched on, the integrated control lamp in the main switch (8.) lights up. There will be a beep and the display (2.) lights up.

- Now press the On/Off button (21.) or (33.). The appliance is now ready for use.

Select the temperature NOTE

- The display (2.) shows the set target temperature (19.) and measured actual temperature (20.).

[you can trust]

- The temperature measurement is made by the temperature sensor (7). It may take some time until a whole room has reached this temperature.

- Press the (23.) or (28.) buttons to select the unit of measure, to select whether the temperature display uses °C or °F. The selected unit of measurement (13.) is shown on the display (2.).

- Press the "Increase temperature" button, (15.) or (32.), to increase the target temperature (19.) up to a maximum of 37^ C (99°F). The selected target temperature (19.) is shown on the display (2.).

- Press the "Decrease temperature" button, (16.) or (29.), to decrease the target temperature (19.) down to a minimum of 5^ C (41°F). The selected target temperature (19.) is shown on the display (2.).

Select heat setting

The heat setting determines how quickly the convection heater warms up. The convection heater has three heat settings:

• Level 1: 1 000 watts
• Level 2: 1 300 watts
• Level 3: 2 300 watts

- To select the heat setting press the buttons (24.) or (26.) repeatedly until the desired heat setting has been set.

The selected heat setting (10.) is shown on the display (2.).

Switch On the fan

The convection heater has a fan which can be used to distribute heated air throughout the room more quickly.

- Press the fan button (14.) or (27.) to switch the fan On or Off. If the fan is active, the "Fan" symbol (11.) appears on the display (2.).

NOTE

If the fan is switched off, the heat is concentrated more around the appliance and is not distributed so quickly around the room.

BECKEN

Set heating time

The appliance has a timer that you can use to set the desired heating time between 1 to 24 hours. Once this period is over, the convection heater switches off automatically.

• Press the timer button (17.) or (31.) until the desired runtime (18.) is shown on the display (2.).
• To switch the timer off, press the timer button (17.) or (31.) repeatedly until no runtime (18.) appears on the display (2.).

Overheating protection

The convection heater is fitted with a thermostat-controlled overheating protector. If it the convection heater becomes too hot internally, the heating element switches Off automatically. As soon as it has cooled down, the heating element switches back On.

WARNING

As a general rule, there is a reason for overheating! It can mean a risk of fire!

• Check if the convection heater can dissipate the heat generated: is it covered or too close to a wall or other obstacle? Is the fan blocked?
• Check that neither the air inlet (5.) nor the air outlet (3.) are blocked and remove the cause.
• If possible, eliminate the problem or contact the Customer Support Service
• Even if you cannot find the problem's source, but the overheating protection is triggered again, return the appliance to the Customer Support Service for inspection or repair.
