Frequently Asked Questions - VT-8010 Concept

How do I turn the heater on and off?

Press the POWER button (A) on the control panel or remote control to turn the heater on. To turn off, press the same button again; the display will show a countdown for about 6 seconds before the heater shuts off.

How do I set the desired temperature?

Press the MODE button until ECO mode is selected. Then use the + and - buttons (B) to adjust the set temperature. The set temperature will flicker for 5 seconds and then the display will show the room temperature again. When the room reaches the set temperature, the heater will stop heating and the fan will stop after 25 seconds.

How can I switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit?

Press and hold the + button (B) for a few seconds, then release. The display will toggle between °F and °C. Note that the displayed temperature is for reference only and may vary from the actual room temperature.

What is the ECO function?

ECO mode is available in Heating 1 and Heating 2. When active, the heater automatically selects the most appropriate power level to maintain comfort while reducing energy consumption. The heater may switch to lower power than displayed.

What does the Anti-freeze mode do?

In Anti-freeze mode, the heater maintains a room temperature of 7°C (45°F) to prevent freezing. It is useful in unheated spaces during cold weather.

How do I clean the heater?

Always unplug the heater and let it cool before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the air inlet and outlet grilles. Do not use detergents, solvents, alcohol, or immerse the heater in water.

How do I replace the remote control battery?

Remove the cover on the back of the remote control. Insert a CR2032/3V button battery with the positive (+) side up. Replace the cover. Dispose of old batteries according to local regulations.
