Frequently Asked Questions - ASP-138RC Aroma

How should I install the Aroma ASP-138RC stove?

Place the stove on a flat, heat-resistant surface at least 1 meter away from furniture, curtains, or other flammable materials. Ensure the power outlet is grounded and easily accessible.

How do I clean the stove properly?

Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild cleaner on the glass window. Never use abrasive materials or spray water directly into the unit. Vacuum the air intakes monthly.

What should I do if the stove does not heat?

Check that the power cord is plugged in and the outlet works. Ensure the thermostat is set higher than room temperature. If the overheat protection tripped, let the unit cool for 30 minutes before restarting.

Is the stove safe to use around children and pets?

Yes, it includes overheat auto shut-off and a tip-over switch. However, the surface can become hot; always supervise children and pets and avoid touching the unit during operation.

Can I use the stove outdoors?

No, this appliance is for indoor use only. It is not designed to withstand outdoor conditions and poses electrical and fire hazards if used outside.

How do I set the timer function?

Press the timer button on the remote or control panel. Use the up/down arrows to set the desired run time (1-12 hours). The stove will automatically turn off after the set time.

Why is the stove making a clicking or fan noise?

Clicking sounds are normal when the thermostat cycles on and off. A fan noise indicates the internal fan is working; it may be slightly louder at higher settings. If the noise becomes excessive, check for obstructions.

Does the stove have a thermostat?

Yes, it features an adjustable thermostat that maintains the desired room temperature. Turn the knob or use the remote to set your preferred comfort level.
