The Argo Symphony is a digital ceramic fan heater designed for use in correctly-insulated environments or for occasional heating needs. It features a sleek, modern design with a soft-touch control panel and an LED display on the front, and an air intake grille with filter, on/off switch, and a handle/remote control holder on the rear.
Function Description
The fan heater provides efficient heating with two power settings: 1500W (low power) and 2500W (high power). It offers various operating modes, including manual temperature regulation, an ECO mode for energy efficiency, and a CONTINUOUS mode for extended operation. The appliance can be controlled via the integrated soft-touch panel or a supplied remote control. A timer function allows users to set a switch-off time from 1 to 12 hours. The ECO mode automatically adjusts heating power based on the room temperature relative to the set temperature, switching between low and high power, or entering stand-by mode to conserve energy. The CONTINUOUS mode allows the fan heater to operate for up to 12 hours without interruption. The device also includes a memory function that retains previous settings even after being switched off, and an energy-saving function that reduces display brightness after one minute of operation. For safety, it is equipped with an anti-tipping device that interrupts operation if the product is tilted.

- Timer Function: While operating, press the timer button to activate the timer. Use the +/- buttons to set the switch-off timer from 1 to 12 hours.
- Temperature Regulation: Press the temperature button, then use the +/- buttons to set the desired temperature. Press the temperature button again to exit temperature regulation settings.
- ECO Mode: Press the ECO button to activate this energy-saving mode. The fan heater will automatically adjust its heating power based on the room temperature.
- CONTINUOUS Mode: Press the + button until the display shows "- -" to activate continuous operation for up to 12 hours. Alternatively, press the ECO button or the temperature button twice to set the temperature to "- -".
- Remote Control: The device comes with a remote control for convenient operation, including power, temperature, timer, and ECO mode adjustments. The remote control uses a CR2032 3V battery, which should be inserted with correct polarity.
Maintenance Features
- Cleaning: Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. Use a soft cloth to remove dust. For excessive dirt, use a damp (not wet) cloth with soapy water (below 50°C), ensuring the fan heater is completely dry before reuse. Do not use corrosive detergents, solvents, oils, or chemical substances. Do not immerse the fan heater in water.
- Grille Cleaning: Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the air inlet/outlet grilles.
- Storage: For prolonged periods of non-use, store the appliance in its original packaging in a cool and dry place, along with the manual.
- Battery Disposal: Depleted batteries must be disposed of separately from unsorted waste at designated recycling centres or returned to retailers. Do not expose batteries to heat, open, puncture, cut, or throw them into fire. Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types. Keep batteries out of reach of children.
- Power Cable/Plug: If the power cable or plug is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its technical assistance service, or similarly qualified personnel to prevent risk.
- Overheating Prevention: The most common cause of overheating is dust build-up. Regularly clean the grilles using a vacuum cleaner. Avoid covering the fan heater during operation.
- General Safety: Disconnect mains power when not in use or during cleaning. Do not use in dusty environments or near flammable vapours. Keep flammable materials at least 1m away from the appliance. Avoid placing objects on the product or wet garments. Use in a well-ventilated area. Avoid placing fingers or foreign objects in grilles. Do not block grilles. Do not immerse in water. Do not touch the plug with wet hands. Do not place near other heat sources. Do not operate outdoors. Unplug the appliance during maintenance, when moving it, or when not in use. If anomalies occur, turn off the appliance immediately and contact a service centre.
