Modes of Operation:
- Normal Mode: Operates at full power (2200W, all 4 tubes lit) or half power (1100W, 2 tubes lit). The timer can be set to switch off the heater after a certain time (1-15 hours). Temperature and open window sensors are active.
- Auto Mode: Allows setting a desired temperature between 15°C and 32°C. The heater starts at full power and reduces to half power when the room reaches the set temperature, resuming full power if the temperature drops. The open window sensor is active.
- Sleep Mode: Operates at full power (2200W, all 4 tubes lit). The timer can be set to switch off the heater after a certain time (1-15 hours). Temperature and open window sensors are active. Maximum temperature in sleep mode is 28°C.
Temperature Sensing:
- When operating at full power, if the ambient temperature exceeds 38°C (or 28°C in sleep mode), the heater automatically turns off two tubes, operating at half power. It resumes full power when the temperature drops below these thresholds.
Open Window Sensing:
- If the ambient temperature continuously drops by 5°C within 5 minutes while operating at full power, the heater automatically turns off two tubes and operates at half power. An "open window" indicator illuminates on the display. Pressing any button cancels this indication and resumes full power heating.
Timer Function (OFF-timer):
- Allows setting a time period (1 to 15 hours) after which the heater will stop working and return to standby mode. The timer countdown is displayed.
Remote Control:
- Provides convenient control over power, mode selection, temperature adjustment, and timer settings. It is powered by a 3V CR2025 button cell.
First Use:
- Upon initial use, the heater may produce fumes or odor, which is normal due to new components and harmless. Adequate ventilation is recommended during this period.
Maintenance Features
Care and Cleaning:
- Always unplug the heater and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Wipe exterior surfaces with a soft, slightly moistened cloth or brush, then dry thoroughly.
- Dust on grilles and inside the appliance can be removed with a vacuum cleaner using a crevice tool or soft brush attachment.
- WARNING: Do not immerse the heater in water or allow liquids into its interior to prevent fire or electrical hazards. Do not use chemical, alkaline, or abrasive cleaners.
Storage:
- When not in use, unplug the heater, remove the castor wheel assemblies, and store it in its original carton in a cool, dry place, out of children's reach. Alternatively, cover it to protect from dust.
Battery Replacement (Remote Control):
- If the remote control battery is flat, replace it with a new 3V CR2025 button cell.
- Use a coin to turn the battery compartment cover to the unlock position.
- Remove the old battery, insert the new one observing polarity, and lock the cover.
- WARNING: Button cell batteries are dangerous if swallowed. Keep out of reach of children. Seek immediate medical attention if swallowed. Dispose of used batteries immediately and responsibly.
Troubleshooting:
- The manual includes a troubleshooting guide for error messages E0 (temperature sensor short-circuit) and E1 (temperature sensor open circuit), advising to contact after-sales support for sensor replacement.
- For other issues, ensure the heater is properly connected and the electrical outlet is working. If problems persist, contact after-sales support.
Safety Precautions (Summary):
- Always read the manual thoroughly before use.
