- A box containing four castors, two castor feet and a screwdriver.

FEATURES

This heater incorporates the following design features.

DIY Installation

This heater is suitable for Do It Yourself installation.

Silent Operation

Electric element operation eliminates fan noise.

Draft Free

Non fan operation also means no drafts.

Delay Off Timer Function

Equipped with delay off timer, see page 9 for details.

Low Maintenance

No moving parts makes for virtually maintenance free operation.

Operation

The heater uses electricity as the heating medium. It operates on the ‘natural convection’ principle where air from the room is drawn into the ‘air inlet’ louvres at the base of the appliance, is heated inside the appliance and expelled through the ‘air outlet’ louvres at the top of the appliance without the use of fans. A sophisticated thermostatic system keeps the room close to the selected temperature.

In addition to temperature controlled operation the heater can also be operated via the use of a delay off timer. This allows the user to program the heater to operate for a set time period, after which the heater will be returned back to standby mode.

  1. Set the desired operating temperature as per steps 1 through 3 "CONNECTING THE POWER" on page 9.
  2. After setting the desired temperature press the MODE button ② twice. The two digits ⑤ on the display panel will now display 0.0 and both the Delay Off Set indicator ⑧ and the H (time) indicator ⑫ will begin to flash.

Airo APH10E - OPERATION - 4

If after 5 seconds no buttons are pressed the 0.0 display will revert back to the current operating setting. Simply press the MODE button ② twice to re-enter the timer setting operation.

  1. Press the 'Up' ③ or 'Down' ④ buttons to set the required timer operation period.

The delay off timer can be set in 30 minute (-5) increments up to 9.5 hours and then in 1 hour increments to a maximum of 24 hours.

  1. To exit the delay off timer setting operation either press the MODE button ② once or wait 5 seconds.

The Delay Off Timer Set indicator ⑧ will illuminate steady to indicate that the heater is now in delay off timer operation.

If the selected temperature is above that of the current room temperature the red operation indicator ⑦ will illuminate and the heater will begin to heat the room.

If the selected temperature is less than that of the current room temperature the red operation indicator ⑦ will go out and the heater will go into a standby state until the room temperature has fallen below the set temperature, when the heater will then automatically switch on and heat the room.

The two digits ⑤ on the display panel will alternate every 5 seconds between displaying the set temperature and the time remaining of the set delayed off timer period.

  1. To cancel delay off timer and return manual operation press 'Up' button ③ for 5 seconds.

  2. To stop heater operation completely press POWER button ①, a shutdown falling chime will be heard and the power indicator ⑥ will remain illuminated to show that the heater has returned to standby mode.

Airo APH10E - To Deactivate the Lock - 1

The Lock function is also deactivated if the heater is switched 'off' via the mains power.

TILT SWITCH

As a safety feature this heater is fitted with a tilt switch that automatically places the heater into standby mode if the appliance tilts more than 45^ .

When the heater is returned to an upright position, normal operation will then be resumed.

CARE OF THE HEATER

Due to the ‘natural convection’ operating principle it is normal that some dust and fluff may build up at the air inlet and air outlet louvres over time. This will reduce operating effectiveness and may result in the appliance overheating if left for too long.

DO NOT use solvents to clean any parts.

To remove dust and clean the appliance:

  1. Unplug the electric plug of the heater from the socket outlet before commencing cleaning.
  2. Allow to cool down.
  3. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust and fluff from the inlet and outlet louvres.
  4. All parts of the heater can be cleaned using a soft, damp cloth with some mild detergent (such as dishwashing liquid) if required.
  5. Ensure the heater is dry before reconnecting to the electricity supply.

ERROR CODES

Your Airo panel heater has a self diagnostic capability. If a fault occurs, an Error Code will flash on the two digits ⑤ of Digital LED display B, a repeating chime will also sound and the appliance will be prevented from operating.

Please quote the error code displayed when enquiring about service, for example:

Error Code E 0 - Temperature sensor disconnection.

SERVICE AND REPAIR

If the electric power cord or plug are damaged, they must be replaced by Airo or a Airo appointed service agent.

There are no user serviceable parts inside the appliance. All service and repair work must be carried out by persons competent and permitted by law to do so.
