CONTROLLING THE HEATER
Locating the heater
• Locate the heater on an even and rigid surface at asufficient distance
from the power socket.
• Insert the power plug into apower socket.
• Set the main switch (A6), that is located in the back at the bottom to
the I(On) position. The heater will switch to the stand-by mode. In
the stand-by mode, the ambient temperature will be shown on the
display.
• Press the button to turn on the heater.
Note:
Aslight odour may be felt when the heater is first turned on
or after an extended period where it has not been used. This
will go away after ashort while.
Turning off the heater
• When not using the heater, press the button and the heater will
turn off. Set the main switch to position "0". Disconnect the power plug
from the power socket.
Note:
When the heater is turned off using the button, the fan
will continue to run for approximately 30 seconds in order
to cool down the internal components. Then it will turn off.
This is normal. Before disconnecting the power cord from
the power socket, wait until the fan stops running.
Fan mode
• When the heater is turned on using the button, it will run in the fan
mode. The indicator will light up on the display. Air is not heated
in this mode. The flowing current of air will, therefore, be cold and the
appliance can be used to cool down the room.
Setting the power level
• The POWER button serves to set the power level. Press the POWER
button once to set the low power level. The indicator will light up
on the display.
• Press the POWER button again to set the high power level. The
indicator will light up on the display.
• Press the POWER level button again to stop heating.
Setting the temperature
• The temperature is set using the +/- buttons. Press them repeatedly to
set the temperature in the range from 10 to 35 °C. The set temperature
will be shown on the display.
• When the ambient temperature reaches the set temperature, or is
higher, the heater will stop heating. The indicator will light up on
the display.
• When the ambient temperature fall 2 °C below the set temperature,
the heater will automatically start running at half power; when the
ambient temperature falls by 4 °C below the set temperature, the
heater will automatically start running at full power. The indicator of
the set power level will be lit on the display.
Setting the timer
• To set the timer, use the TIMER button. Press it repeatedly to set the
time after which the heater will turn off. The indicator will light up on
the display. The duration of the timer can be set from 1 to 12 hours. The
set time will appear on the display.
Swing (oscillation) function
• To turn on the side to side oscillation of the heater, press the SWING
button. The indicator will light up on the display. Press the SWING
button to turn off the oscillation.

• If you wish to use the remote control, point it at the heater. The
maximum signal range is 5 m. If the remote control is positioned in
such away that obstacles prevent the transmission of the signal, then
the signal may not be transmitted at all.
Note:
When not using the remote control for an extended period
of time, remove the batteries from the remote control. Never
put the batteries in afire, short circuit them or damage them
in any way. Dispose of them ecologically at the end of their
lifetime. Never throw batteries out with communal waste.
The principle for controlling the heater using the remote control is the
same as described in the chapter "Controlling the heater".
AUTOMATIC SAFETY SHUT-OFF FUNCTION
• The ceramic heater is equipped with asafety mechanism that
automatically turns it off when it is tipped over. This safety mechanism
serves asafety function and prevents dangerous situations from
arising.

OVERHEATING PROTECTION
• In the event that the temperature of the heater is too high due to an
inappropriate environment in which it is used or as aresult of incorrect
use, the power supply to the heater will automatically be shut off and
it will stop working. It is recommended to disconnect the power plug
from of the power socket and allow it to cool down completely. Then
you will be able to use the heater again.

THERMAL PROTECTION
• The ceramic heater is equipped with double thermal protection –
aresettable and non-resettable thermal fuse. The resettable thermal
fuse will turn the heater off when there is adanger of it overheating or
malfunctioning. When the temperature of the heater falls, you will be
able to use the heater again.
• The non-resettable thermal fuse is installed for the case, where the
resettable thermal fuse fails. In the event of overheating, malfunction
or if the heater stops working for any other reason, the non-resettable
thermal fuse will completely turn off the heater and it will not be
possible to turn it on. In such acase, contact an authorised service
centre.
• The most frequent cause of overheating is the accumulation of dust
or dirty material on the rear grille and on the the front grille. Regularly
remove any dirty material using avacuum cleaner. Always turn off the
heater, disconnect the power plug from the power socket and allow
the heater to cool down completely before cleaning it.
• The heater is not equipped with aprecision temperature control sensor
and, therefore, it cannot be used as an isolation device for storage or
keeping animals or flowers.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
• Ensure that the appliance is turned off and that it has cooled down
before cleaning it.
• Wipe the appliance using asoft dry cloth. Regularly remove any dirty
material from the front and rear grille. Avacuum cleaner can also be
used for removing the dirty material. Nevertheless, always check that
the heater is turned off, the power plug is disconnected for the power
socket and that the heater has cooled down completely.
• Do not use chemicals or abrasive cleaning products for cleaning.
Otherwise the surface of the appliance may be damaged.
Warning:
To prevent the risk of injury by electrical shock, do not
submerge the appliance, power cord or power plug in
water or any another liquid.
Long term storage
