Selecting the temperature
The temperature control 7allows you to select your desired temperature
(continuous adjustment).
♦ Turn the dial clockwise to set a higher temperature; turn it anticlockwise to
set a lower temperature.
♦ Start by turning the temperature regulator 7to the Max position.
♦ When the room has reached the desired temperature, slowly turn the tem-
perature regulator 7anticlockwise until a slight click sound is heard.
This means that the heating element is now switched off.

the appliance covered or is it too close to a wall or other obstacle? Is the
fan blocked?
► If possible, eliminate the problem or contact the Service Hotline (see the
section Service).
► Even if you cannot find a cause, but the overheating protection triggers
again, you must return the appliance to Customer Services for inspection
or repair.
Frost protection function
The appliance has a frost protection function that prevents the room temperature
from falling below the frost line.
♦ Turn the temperature control 7to the frost symbol 8.
