Thank you for purchasing our SALTON Fan Heater, Model SFH 450. Each unit is
manufactured to ensure safety and reliability. Before using for the unit for the first
time, please read the instruction manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
Should you pass the unit on, please ensure that you also pass the Instruction Manual
on.
1. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Before connecting and switching on the appliance, ensure that the voltage
indicated on the unit’s base plate corresponds to the mains voltage in your
home.
Read the instructions carefully, in conjunction with the illustrations, before
using the appliance for the first time.
The appliance has been double insulated, but always ensure that the unit is
connected to an earthed mains outlet.
When using an extension cord, make sure that the plugs and the cord allow a
high power throughput (16A –220V, 13A –240V). Please unroll the cord
completely to prevent overheating.
Do not leave your home while the appliance is in operation; ensure that the unit
is switched off and that the thermostat is in the minimum position. Always
unplug the appliance when not in use. Do not pull the cord to unplug the unit.
Keep combustible materials (such as furniture, cushions, bedding, paper etc) at
least 100cm away from the fan heater.
Do not hang anything in front of or on the fan heater.
Do not cover the unit. This imposes the risk of overheating.
It may happen, especially if the heater operates in position II, and a second
electrical device is switched on simultaneously, that a fuse or circuit breaker
trips the mains power. In such an instance, the fuse or circuit breaker may not
allow a high electrical power. You may connect the second appliance to another
circuit (through the employment of another fuse or circuit breaker) or have the
electrical installation revised by an authorised electrician.
The heater is not designed for use as the main source of heating. Use the
appliance only for its intended use, i.e. as an extra source of heating in the
home/office.
To avoid the risk of fire and electrical shock, select a safe place for the heater
(refer section: Safe Positioning).
Do not insert any objects in to the heater
Ensure that children do not play with the appliance and are supervised should
they be in the vicinity of the appliance.
The front grille gets hot during usage. Do not touch the grille while the heater is
switched on, nor immediately after switching off the heater since the grille
requires time to cool down.
Only handle the heater with dry hands.
If the cord of this appliance is damaged, discontinue use of the product and
contact the manufacturer for further instructions. The cord must only be
replaced by a service representative of the manufacturer, since special tools
and/or parts are required.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
3. SAFETY POSITIONING
The heater must not be located immediately beneath a socket outlet.
Only use the fan heater when it is standing upright, i.e. on its base
For your own safety and that of others, do not use the heater in the immediate
surroundings of a bath, shower or swimming pool. Ensure that the appliance
cannot fall into water (bath wash basin, shower cubicle etc).
Do not use the heater in rooms with explosive gas (e.g. petrol) or while using a
flammable solvent or glue (e.g. when gluing or varnishing parquet floors, PVC
etc).
Allow ample space around the heater. A safe area to be left clear is 50cm at the
top and at the sides, and 120cm at the front.
Prevent overheating of the appliance by keeping the air inlet and outlet grilles
free of obstacles. Do not hang anything on, in front of or above it, to prevent the
risk of fire.
Check the grilles occasionally for accumulated dust. If over-heating should
occur, the built in overheating safety device should switch off the appliance.
Do not allow aerosols, inflammable substances or materials sensitive to heat to
be in the flow of hot air.
Keep the mains cord at a safe distance from the air inlet and outlet grilles.
Do not use the heater on extremely deep-pile carpets!

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The selector switch (C) and the thermostat control dial (D) enable you to select the
following functions:
4.1 Selector Switch (C)
Ο= OFF. Both the fan and the two heating elements are switched off.
= “Cool Air”. Only the fan is switched on.
I = “Warm Air” for gradual heating up. ECO position (1000W): the fan and one of
the heating elements is switched on.
II = “Hot Air” for quick heating up. Full power (2000W): the fan and both the
heating elements are switched on.
4.2 Thermostat Control Dial (D)
With the thermostat control dial, a constant room temperature can be set. When
the selector switch is set to position I or to position II, the heater will
automatically switch on as soon as the room temperature falls below the set
temperature.
As soon as the set temperature is reached, the heater will switch off.
Rotate the dial clockwise to obtain a higher temperature setting or anti-
clockwise for a lower temperature setting.
The thermostat control dial may be adjusted while the heater is in use.
To find the ideal thermostat setting:
oFirst set the control dial to the maximum position (rotate clockwise until
the dial cannot turn further).
oAs soon as the temperature is comfortable, turn the dial anti-clockwise
slowly until the heater goes off.
= “Frost Free” position. This position corresponds with the minimum
thermostat setting (i.e. approx. 5C) and can be used to keep the immediate vicinity
of the heater from frost. E.g. to prevent pipes from freezing, position the heater close
to the pipe and select this position.
Please note:
When using the cool air setting , the thermostat control dial should be at its highest
position.
4.3 Control Lamp (E)
The control lamp (E) indicates the operation if step ( , I, or II) is turned on in
combination with the Thermostat switch.
If the thermostat switches off the heater, once the set temperature is reached,
then the control lamp goes off. The control lamp will switch on again when the
thermostat switches on the heater.

If the thermostat is set to position O or the heater is switched OFF at the mains,
then the control lamp goes OFF.
5. OVERHEATING SAFETY DEVICE
To prevent damage and risks due to overheating, the built in overheating safety
device will cut the power to the heater as soon as the elements become too hot.
If this should happen:
First ensure that it is not the thermostat that has switched off the heater.
Set the thermostat to maximum position.
If the heater does not switch back on, the safety device has been activated.
Unplug the heater at the mains socket.
Allow the heater to cool down for 30 min.
Check is the heater has been placed correctly (refer section 3- Safety
Positioning).
Ensure that nothing is obstructing the airflow.
If necessary, clean the grilles with a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust
build up or manufacturing dust.
Replace the plug into the wall socket and switch the heater ON again.
If the safety device again switches OFF the heater:
Unplug the heater from the mains wall socket
Have the heater inspected by an authorised service agent or by the supplier.
HINTS BEFORE RETURNING THE APPLIANCE
Is your household socket working properly?
Are all required switches in the ON position?
