The BDCV350 is a 2000W electronic convector heater designed for household use, providing warmth through convection heating. It is intended for indoor use only and is not suitable for commercial or industrial applications. The heater features an electronic thermostat, a full heating mode, a timer function, and adjustable screen brightness, all controlled via a touch-sensitive control panel.
The primary function of the BDCV350 is to heat a room. It operates by drawing in cool air, heating it using internal elements, and then releasing the warmed air back into the room, creating a convection current that evenly distributes heat. The electronic thermostat allows users to set a desired temperature between 10°C and 35°C. Once the room temperature reaches the preset level, the heating function automatically stops. If the room temperature drops below the preset, the heater will automatically resume low or high heating to maintain the desired warmth.
The heater also includes a "Full Heating Mode" which allows it to operate at full heating power for a continuous 12-hour period, regardless of the thermostat setting. This mode is useful for quickly heating a room or for sustained warmth. After 12 hours, the heater will automatically turn off. This mode can be cancelled at any time.
A built-in timer function allows users to set an operating duration from 1 to 24 hours. This feature is convenient for scheduling heating cycles and can help conserve energy by ensuring the heater turns off after a specified period.
Before using the heater, it is crucial to ensure that the feet are properly fitted and secured with the provided '1 way screws'. This is a safety requirement for permanent installation of the feet, especially in the New Zealand and Australian markets. The heater should always be placed on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.
To operate, plug the heater directly into a wall socket; power boards are not recommended for high wattage appliances. If an extension cord is necessary, it must be correctly specified, undamaged, and used safely. Once plugged in, press the master on/off switch located underneath the display screen. A beep will sound, and the power icon on the display will light up. Touching this icon will turn the heater on.
The control panel features several touch icons for easy operation:
When adjusting the thermostat, the current room temperature will be displayed. Use the '+' and '-' icons to set your preferred temperature. For the timer, touch and hold the brightness/timer icon for approximately 3 seconds to activate it. The display will show "0 hours," and you can then use the '+' and '-' icons to set the desired duration. Holding the icon again will cancel the timer. The screen brightness can be adjusted by repeatedly touching the brightness/timer icon, with four touches turning the screen off completely. Another touch will turn it back on.
The BDCV350 is equipped with two protection devices to ensure safe operation:
Regular cleaning is essential for trouble-free operation and to prevent overheating.
